Easy Accept Payments via PayPal

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 64% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Intuitive to set up and worked like a charm upon testing. The ease in changing parameters (for example, prices) is really appreciated too. Thanks from someone working on his first website. Peter

   I use this plugin on all of my websites and have had zero issues. It is very easy to accept payments via PayPal and looks great. I hope they add a recurring option for the future.

   It took me 2 minutes to set this up – really simple settings page, just what what I was looking for. Plus it has a custom amount box – perfect !

   I like the ease of use of this plugin, we have existing recurring payment options on our primary website, so I would like to see you add an option for subscriptions, INCLUDING OPTIONAL FORM to to allow us to paste an url back to our existing paypal merchant buttons. This way the drop down menu can have both of our “buy now” options as well as our recurring payment subscription options IN THE SAME widget, it shouldnt be an issue. Thank you!
