Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce” for “pc”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pc” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 25.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,141 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

The plugin does what it promises and works as expected. However, there is definitely room for improvement. It would be great if it allowed linking WooCommerce attributes directly, so customers cannot accidentally select incompatible parts. Another improvement would be to include built-in filter options within the plugin itself, instead of relying on WordPress widgets. That would make the setup more user-friendly and streamlined. Overall, it’s a useful tool, but with a few upgrades it could become a much more powerful solution.

Good plugin, thanks!

I am thoroughly disappointed in the plugin. This plugin is a further example of the lack of cross-compatibility with Woo Plugins. I downloaded WooCommerce Product Builder, activated and checked the product page. The plugin did not appear. Since it did not appear, I checked in both Firefox and IE with the plugin still not showing. After reading the FAQ and installation information, this plugin requires WooCommerce Multi-Currency, why? I have Buster Plus for Woo-commerce that allow multi-currency transaction and I should not need an additional free plugin to run it. So, I have uninstalled the plugin and not going to wast any more time with it.
