of downloads still active
At least 20K of 1.4M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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 7 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
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “abandoned”, “abandoned carts” and “lost revenue” (#4, #4 and #4 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

I strangely got many Abandoned Carts… I investigated it and they are add-to-cart calls made directly by “random IPs” that DO NOT browse my website at all.This plugin is fake to just try to scam you into buying their PRO version.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ amvast1.1y ago
The plugin shows thousands of fake abandoned cart items.For example I have 10500 abandoned items in a couple of days, when I have less then 200 active products in the store and an average number of site visitors per day of 20-30. There is no way it could get to that number of people putting items in their carts. Even more, it doesn’t seem to record the real visitors. I tested with a logged in user and put some items in the cart. It didn’t saved the user info.

There was an issue capturing email with the new WooCommerce checkout block, and Priyanka worked to identify and prioritize a fix that’s rolling out in their next update. Now my site is properly sending Abandoned Cart emails. I tried so many plugins and I’m glad I chose Abandoned Cart Lite!
