Biggest opportunity: Swap “credit card payments”, “donation form” and “payment form” for “square”, “apple pay” and “pay”. “credit card payments” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “square” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “donation form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “apple pay” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “payment form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pay” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 174.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,042 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “credit card payments”, “donation form” and “payment form” for “square”, “apple pay” and “pay”. “credit card payments” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “square” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “donation form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “apple pay” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “payment form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pay” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “square payment form”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

We had an issue in payment processing on our website, where screen was freezing and never reaching payment success screen. The bug was reported to WP Easy Pay support and Muhammad Usama Azad helped by quickly troubleshoot and fix the bug on our wordpress website.

We have raised an issue more than a week ago. We have provided them with everything, including a staging copy of our site, so they can troubleshoot the issue, but support has been really slow. Now, we need to consider migrating to an alternative solution.

I had recently purchased the WP EasyPay plugin for creating a membership renewal and payment form. Setting up the form and notifications was very easy and though its Live Payment mode worked right out of the box, I encountered a problem with getting the Test Payment mode to connect to Square. There was also a small glitch with a radio button group in the form.When I contacted WPExperts support, I quickly received a response. After exchanging some additional info, Muhammad Usama Azad was able to fully resolve both issues. The WP EasyPay plugin works great and I’m really pleased with the prompt and professional technical support that was provided. Many thanks!

Technical skills are very good but time difference means question and response separated by a day which results in multiple days to resolve an issue.

I have had two minor issues with the plugin over the few years that I have used it. Both times, the support team was very responsive and solved the issues in a timely manner.

I used the free plugin on a not for profit (church) site I developed to enable them to integrate a donation button with their square account. Works like a charm! We may upgrade to the paid version to enable donation categories and other premium features. We did have a error/bug occur, and the support team was quick to examine a staging site and fix the code in the plugin and we are up a running again. Great customer support, even on the free version. Thank you!

Attempting to use WP EasyPay with my Square account was a horrible experience and is likely to have cost me clients for all the frustration and mis-billing that they have experienced. After the first 10 clients were on board and all seemed to be going smoothly, the form stopped accepting new client subscriptions. I was paying a premium price for this software developer’s product, but did not receive any response at all to my support request until several DAYS after we identified the issue and I submitted a ticket. Then the back-and-forth emails started with the support agent giving non-productive steps to take before they actually logged in to my site and found the issue. The following month one of my clients had a subscription that was paused because she selected the incorrect membership plan. The software not only charged her for the new subscription at the correct rate, it also charged her for the old subscription – close to “double billing” her that month. Worst of all, I had no access on the back end of my WordPress site to see her old subscription. All I could do is refund the incorrect charge and open another ticket that took two weeks to get a meaningful response to – I’m still not sure if the problem is resolved, we’ll find out on the 6th of the month. A paused subscription was billed to client’s card on file. In response to that ticket I was told that they would refund my payment for the software … but they didn’t say what we needed to do so that client isn’t billed incorrectly this coming month. At this point I decided enough was enough. I put a new membership plugin in place, canceled all subscriptions in the WP EasyPay plugin, and deactivated the software. That should be the end of it, right? Nope – last night WP EasyPay sent a charge to Square for a monthly subscription that was canceled. In my opinion, WordPress should remove this rogue software from the repository. Clearly they have demonstrated that they are not focused on resolving issues, just “checking off ticket inquiries”. On two of my support requests we went back and forth at least a dozen times before substantive action was taken. Oh yeah, and that refund they promised – I don’t see it on my account.
