Biggest opportunity: Add “generator” to your wp.org tags. You rank #16 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →4.0%
of downloads still active
At least 8K of 202.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,173 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 2 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.

I don’t have advanced needs for SKUs, just to be able to automatically generate SKUs for all products and variants in bulk. And this plugin does it very well (at least for a couple hundreds of products)
