Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Absolutely 5 stars from me. If there could be two things they could improve upon it would be: Button styles options – there’s none in the plugin settings, and I wish I found this plugin earlier

    Clayton is a legend! Very responsive and helpful and their plugins been seamless. Unfortunately Braintree itself is a joke .My accounts been restricted due to a DNS attack for 2 days….. raised a ticket on the online support but no contact. They have no online chat support, no direct email to the support team and their phone lines are un-monitored…. Like all of them! I’ve called support lines in 3 different countries and they all go straight to voice mail.Its a great service when its working but once its stopped don’t expect them to help….. don’t even expect to communicate with them.I’m signing up for another merchant account provider because its looking like it’l be quicker than getting my exisiting account sorted with Braintree Don’t take the risk, use someone else This topic was modified 3 years, 1 month ago by cammcm.

    I used a Plugin from AngellEYE to integrate Braintree before. It stopped working because of 3DS requirements. So I had to change because AngellEYE didn’t fix it in time. If you need a RELIABLE solution for a Payment Integration for Woocommerce. Use the Plugins from Payment Plugins. Great work guys!

    Really easy to use, fully featured gateway plugin, works much better than the woo commerce one and the support was so quick and solved an small issue straight away, that was my configuration rather than a fault with the gateway. Highly recommend.

    Excellent Plugin that provides all features we require from a Braintree integration, incl. developer documentation and customisability. Support answers quickly & precisely. Big recommendation!
