Biggest opportunity: Swap “dropdown”, “radio” and “shipping” for “shipping protection”, “prevent fake orders” and “drop shipping”. “dropdown” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “shipping protection” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “radio” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “prevent fake orders” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “drop shipping” sits at #8 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 2K of 89.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,154 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.

This plugin works great. It may not work with your particular themes, but if it doesn’t work, you may need to remove file woocommerce/cart/cart-shipping.php in your themes folder or simply rename it.
