Backend Payments for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 94% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Needed the ability to take phone payments from customers. Installing this makes that happen. The only issue we had was with Stripe whereby it blocked some payments where we had to get in touch to enable MOTO exemption for telephone payments.

   This plugin solves a common issue with payment gateways that offer MOTO (Payments over the phone) in the UK. Support is fantastic, I asked about a feature and they came back quickly with a snippet to use which worked perfectly. Thank you

   This plugin is so simple and easy to use. I can’t believe I didn’t download this years ago. This would have saved hours and hours of talking customers through the payment process. You guys made my day.

   Does as advertised and works well. I would like it to somehow send the order number as a reference to Stripe but other than that i can’t fault it.
