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.

Release cadence

Actively maintained

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    Doet grotendeels wat je verwacht. Automatisch verzendkosten ophalen op basis van gewicht en land van verzending zou mooi zijn.

    It is not clear where to find the Customer Code Returns in PostNL bussiness. Please make this clear for the user.

    De ontwikkelaars hebben geprobeerd iedere denkbare optie in te bouwen. het gevolg is een onbeheer baar monster, dat bijna niet in te regelen valt

    Happy mee, laat kwaliteit zien in mijn webshop en het is ook goed te tweaken. De nieuwe login voor invullen gegevens werkt ook goed. Implementatie zaten wat haken en ogen aan, maar dit al besproken met PostNL.

    Direct printen van labels vanuit WooCommerce is helemaal top; ook zelf aan te kunnen geven wat voor type pakket het is vind ik heel prettig. Wat bij mij betreft beter kan: Het kunnen aanpassen van producten beschrijvingen in de douaneformulieren voor pakketen richting buitenland. Betere omschrijvingen voor foutmeldingen! Regelmatig kan ik een label niet printen en krijg alleen een error met een tekst zoals “Field value must be between 0 and 9”, waar ik niets mee kan
