High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, well behind 6.8.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

Works perfectly on the websites that I am using this plugin.

Was perfect. Just the size of the payment options are not equal size. Should be same size. Overall anyways is good. Thank you to the developer.

It seems I misunderstand the function of this plugin… I thought it displays the accepted payment methods, but it does not! The plugins just extends the WooCommerce payment options with a setting to display payment icons, which the creator thought to be useful, indepedent from your shop settings. So this plugin is only useful if you only accept the follwing payment menthods: American Express, Bitcoin, BTC, Discover, Google, Maestro, MasterCard, MasterCard, PayPal, Visa. Additional Methods have to be requested.

HI would be great if add Amazon and giving option to add more since it keeps on changing payment options

Unfortunately it half works, the images are all cut off (which is a common problem I see on the help forum). i guess it’s theme dependent, but this issue has been going on long enough for it to be resolved. great idea, just doesn’t work very well

I really like the idea of this plugin, but unfortunately it doesn’t work. Or maybe it does, but doesn’t for me. I think it is very theme dependent. It will either work with your theme or it will not. I went through the support forum and found a few similar cases to mine. Big part of each icon is cut off in my theme. James reckons everything works well in his theme, so that’s why I get the impression that it depends on the theme you have installed if your payment icons will display correctly or not. Either way, I am giving 1 star out of 5. Great idea, but from the forums I believe that James knows that the bug is there for several months now, but I see no intention of fixing it ..
