Biggest opportunity: Swap “shipping” for “total weight”. “shipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “total weight” 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 →4.6%
of downloads still active
At least 700 of 15.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,150 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 44 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “shipping” for “total weight”. “shipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “total weight” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

We had a specific issue with shipping rules for WooCommerce variable products, where products with a general product attribute were not getting the correct shipping option at checkout. The support team responded quickly, understood the issue, and helped us resolve it properly with a code fix. The plugin itself is very useful for setting up flexible shipping rules, and the support experience was professional, fast, and helpful. Big thanks to Shahriar for the quick assistance and clear communication. Highly recommended!

I recently integrated the WowShipping plugin into my WooCommerce store, and I must say it has transformed my shipping process. The ability to customize shipping rates based on weight, quantity, and destination is incredibly powerful. The user-friendly interface made setup a breeze, and the detailed analytics dashboard has been invaluable for tracking performance. What impresses me most is the responsive customer support; they were quick to answer my questions and assist with configuration. Whether you’re a small business or a larger operation, WowShipping offers everything you need for effective shipping management. Highly recommended!
