Biggest opportunity: “coupon”, “discount” and “woocommerce” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 61.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.24.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| coupon your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| discount your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “coupon”, “discount” and “woocommerce” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

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.
Release cadence

Good but the discount is applied on creditcard… and its abandoned
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ elizeu894.2y ago
Cláudio, parabéns pelo plugin. Entretanto, o mesmo esta com um bug. Ao selecionar uma forma de pagamento, ele aplica o desconto, mas, se o usuário selecionar uma outra forma de pagamento, ele esta acumulando o desconto. O correto é remover o cupom da seleção anterior e aplicar o cupom da nova seleção.

Ele simplesmente aplica desconto em qualquer método durante o checkout, não importando qual pré-configurado no admin.

in version 5.8 I tried it and it doesn’t work properly. for example Apply the coupon in “bacs”, it is identified in the checkout but apply it in a different gateway than the one indicated. en la versión 5.8 lo probé y no funciona correctamente. por poner un ejemplo Aplicar el cupón en “bacs”, se identifica en el checkout pero aplíca en una pasarela diferente a la indicada.

Basic functionality is ok. I don’t like that the discount is shown on the cart page already. Should only be visible on checkout (even if the default payment method has a discount). And translations are missing for the frontend output.

USE THE PLUGIN WITH THE SAME NAME FROM WPCodeLibrary. This one (by C Sanches) has bugs galore and doesn’t seem to work well at all with the latest wordpress. The WPCodeLibrary plugin with the same name works perfectly. I’m not sure what this is doing here – but you want to use the other version of this plugin.
