Simple Discount Rules 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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 45% 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.

   Had an issue, figured I’d switch, all the other options were incredibly bloated, figured I’d try contacting support. All sorted, glad I can keep using this super simple option.

   This is a perfect discount rules solution. It is very easy to install and works fine with our WooCommerce theme Flatsome. Great and friendly support to help out with a CSS adjustment. This is the plugin that solved our discount rules dilemmas. Thank you Vidish for a perfect custom CSS code.
