Biggest opportunity: Add “numbers”, “order numbers” and “order numbers for woocommerce” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5, #6 and #7 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

How it's measured →1.9%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 516.5K 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 1 release 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.

What to do about it
- Add “numbers”, “order numbers” and “order numbers for woocommerce” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5, #6 and #7 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

Crap! Order Nr. in URL and order confirmation page during checkout no longer the same! Deleted the plugin! Don’t even bother until they fix this!

Just tried another similar plugin but it slowed down the site. That one works good, thank you guys!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ sergeserge7.7y ago
Unfortunately the plugin doesn’t work properly. It incremetns the excessive “1” to the order number when payment gateway is invoked. As result the order number in woocommerce and order number in payment system became different. It’s difficult to identify buyer’s payment if buyer pays by creditcard.
