Biggest opportunity: “countries”, “country” and “payment gateway” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →4.1%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 72.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,167 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| countries your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| country your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| payment gateway your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| payment gateways your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

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.

This is an extremely beautiful plugin, it works perfectly and doesn’t break. I am very grateful to the team Thank you.

Easy interface and you can specify ALL or NO country easily. Or just single countries individually. BUT:– WCCBP is not a common term nor obvious in settings. How about “payments by country”?– all payment modules are shown even if inactive– by default all countries work even if no country had been entered nor is shown.– no easy selection of EU/EEA countries. Also no copy and paste between payment methods possible. Happy entering 27 countries manually for every payment method

Searched for a while for a solution that lets me disable card payments for specific countries, and this plugin handles it superbly. Straightforward and easy to set up. No issues at all so far, will update if any problems.
