Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce” and “catalog mode” for “digital store” and “pause”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “digital store” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “catalog mode” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “pause” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →2.2%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 450K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,166 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 shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “woocommerce” and “catalog mode” for “digital store” and “pause”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “digital store” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “catalog mode” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “pause” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “catalog mode”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “10K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band yesterday and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 20K.

Although the current version of WooCommerce has a simple “Coming Soon” mode, it lacks the important extra functionality that this plugin offers for temporarily disabling your store, such as setting the vacation window time frame and allowing the store to stay visible while only blocking the checkout. This is my go-to plugin for any store owner who needs to disable his store for a period of time!

This plugin does exactly what it says! It’s really saved us just before going on holidays and made sure customers were aware we would not ship till we came back!
