of downloads still active
At least 5K of 326.9K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,168 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 3 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.

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.

99 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 16 listed. 83 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
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. “standard” (#23 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Whilst commercial plugin costs some money, this just works out of the box plus has incredible option to check against the VAT validity. Big thanks!

We’re currently configuring compatibility between this plugin and ours, and it’s a relief to be working with a pro (Diego at Aelia).

Really thank you for this amazing plugin. It solves a very big problem. Without this plugin, it would be really very hard. I really love it. One of the most useful plugins I’ve ever installed.

The plugin has all the features (at least the ones I needed) to process VAT in EU. Saves a lot of time and energy.

Tried installing this. It needs a companion plug-in. It then tried to install a Maxmind geolocation database from a URL that doesn’t work. Why it couldn’t find the one I’ve already got installed as part of WooCommerce integration I’ve no idea. But, since it fgell at the first hurdle, I can’t really recommend this.

Like many of us, the developers have been struggling with Brexit but their very personal and prompt answers to all my questions have been phenomenal.
