Biggest opportunity: Swap “credit card” for “square payments”. “credit card” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “square payments” sits at #5 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 →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 111.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,044 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.
This plugin shipped 9 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.

This plug in works well, but is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I’ve had excellent support getting some persistent issues resolved so that it works as expected. It’s not perfect but it seems to do a better job than other supposedly similar products.

We have decided on using this plugin for multiple reasons. At the beginning we experienced multiple problems, which were all solved by the really awesome support (especially from M Aqib Khan). The devs even provided me with an “early version” just to see if it fixed my problem. Today everything is working and i hope they add new features (like importing weight values for products etc).

I installed this to support a store being able to accept Square. First, the directions are out of date. Plugin name and interface have been changed. It installed easily and immediately connected. The first three transactions had two failures but both messages indicated a failure from Square, however, Square didn’t show them. By the end of the day, the cart just showed “initializing” and we had several failed transaction that indicated that the API call was missing data. Moving on to another solution.
