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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    Hi, I’ve installed the plugin correctly, but it appears greyed out for our clients and they’re unable to use it. Has anyone experienced this issue or knows what might be causing it? Thanks in advance.

    Updates are so far behind it is no longer compatible with the latest versions of WordPress/WooCommerce. This is the second time in 3 years I have had to remove it to get my website back online. It’s crazy that a company the size of Amazon can’t keep a simple plugin like this updated. We have regular customers that were using this who now have to go a new route because of this.

    It doesn’t work. Come to think of it very few payment methods by Woocommerece work well. Each update creates headaches.

    I don’t recommend Amazon Pay. Terrible service and account registration process. I have opened an account with them and their system won’t accept my charge method despite the card ticking all of the boxes of their requirements. I keep on getting error messages that ‘something went wrong’. I have about 10 back and forth emails with their incompetent customer services team who fails to provide ‘support’ to resolve the issue. Proceeding with closing the Amazon Pay account. I was able to open an account with one of their competitors in 5 minutes.
