Biggest opportunity: “product fees”, “product surcharge” and “woocommerce fees” 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 2K of 40.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.

High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 7.1.

    Thanks for creating this simple to use plugin! I searched for hours and tried so many solutions with conditional logic and so on but just wanted to apply a simple fee for some variants. Works perfectly. This topic was modified 5 years, 10 months ago by ollidoetsch.

    Hello, i was skeptical about this plugin, the last update is 2 years ago. But i tried it and it works perfect. I use always the latest WP and Woocommerce versions, and it works fine without errors. If you are asking you, will this work, the answer is YES. It does the job, now you can add one more product fee on every product individually. Thanks to the developer! I was searching there but there are a lot plugins with more functions and settings who nobody need, just to get money for something nobody really want. But yours is simple and works fine. I would buy your plugin but its for free 🙂

    It’s a really easy and straight-forward thing to use. I was really happy with it until I realized that the % fee doesn’t adjust when a coupon is applied. For example, if you add a 10% fee but give someone a 100% coupon code, then the fee remains instead of dropping to 0.
