Biggest opportunity: Swap “credit cards”, “payment” and “subscriptions” for “gateway for woocommerce”, “online payment gateway” and “secure woocommerce”. “credit cards” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “gateway for woocommerce” sits at #6 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. “online payment gateway” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “subscriptions” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “secure woocommerce” sits at #15 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 →19%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 53.2K 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.

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.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “10K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 10 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 10K.
