Biggest opportunity: Swap “payment gateway” for “mercadopago”. “payment gateway” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “mercadopago” sits at #4 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 →2.7%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 377.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,154 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 8 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.

Este plugin va bien para woocomerse pero con la APP DE WOOCOMERSE NO FUNCIONA y no aplica el recargo. He perdido bastante dinero últimamente en los pedidos por este motivo. Deberían revisar, en la app no se aplica el recargo a los pedidos. Cuando creas manualmente un pedido para un cliente con la APP oficial de Woo NO FUNCIONA.

Super flexible and useful. We were even able to use it simultaneously to add a fee to one payment method, while another grants a discount when selected.

You can add both fees and discounts on the payment methods, with many options, like including taxes and fees on the discounts and so on. It works with the latest versions of the checkout in WC, just read the readme file.
