Biggest opportunity: Swap “mini cart” and “ajax cart” for “ajax mini cart” and “ajax”. “mini cart” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “ajax mini cart” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ajax cart” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “ajax” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 217K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.3%, across 5,183 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 2 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “mini cart” and “ajax cart” for “ajax mini cart” and “ajax”. “mini cart” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “ajax mini cart” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ajax cart” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “ajax” sits at #23 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 “ajax cart”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “mini cart”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

The authors of this plugin have no idea how to work with versioning, and have caused me unable to update the plugin now. They also haven’t properly followed coding standards and have broken upgrade notices which cannot be dismissed. My version is newer than the most recent version, yet changelog and documentation doesn’t match up at all. Support responses are very limited and they haven’t seemed to really done anything to address my issue.

I like this plugin and it works fine. Some complains about the not “pro Version”! But you have to be honest the price for this plugin is not too high and you get always support of your problems in some days.
