Biggest opportunity: Swap “discount” for “validity”. “discount” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “validity” sits at #7 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 →1.0%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 99K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,295 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing 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
- Swap “discount” for “validity”. “discount” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “validity” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Works great, coupon links are awesome and works perfectly adding items to the cart, and applying the coupon automatically. The redirection feature is also great to take the customer to the promotion category, while adding the coupon for the promo automatically.

cool!!

Everything works fine. Its easy to setup and has great functionalities. But it is not a complete coupon tool. It needs further functionalities, wich can be found in extra feature plugins that comes with a price tag.
