Biggest opportunity: Swap “gateway” and “payment” for “e transfer” and “money transfer”. “gateway” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “e transfer” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “payment” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “money transfer” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

At least 2K of 59.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,043 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

Excellent plugin with no issues & great help in Canada. Tks Masoud.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ elixrtech2.1y ago
I’ve been encountering deprecated warnings with the plugin due to the use of dynamic properties, which are no longer supported in PHP 8.x. Specifically, the issues arise in the BETPG_Email_Transfer_Gateway class. Would it be possible to release an update that addresses these compatibility issues? Thanks for your support and great work!

Quick and effective solution to sell with e-mail based payments.

Easy to setup. For those who ask… How do I know what question and answer is sent to the buyer? If the buyer mentions the order number in the question, you would know who is sending the fund. The answer sent to the buyer can be found in the order page, as the first order note.

Great Plugin – Wish updates were available more often. Seems like this will be the final version.

Plugin was really easy to use and saved trying to torture the “Bank Transfer” payment method in Woocommerce. No problem using it with qTranslate-x for bilingual English/French site. Thanks to everyone who help with the plugin!!! Whippi
