Easy PayPal & Stripe Buy Now Button

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 · 46% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   For some reason could not receive the zip file so impossible to load plugin. Colin from support sorted it all out for me and loaded the plugin to my WordPress site. Excellent support and would highly recommend this plugin.

   Install the button quite easily and had no issues. Then noticed it was not working if someone accessed our website via the Instagram browser. Reached out to support and they were able to find and fix the redirect issue within days! Often support offered, even for a paid plugin, is a total joke so I was so happy to have someone take care of the issue. Thanks!

   This used to be a great plugin, but was useless in the new editor.

   It’s a great plugin, it was working great but for some reason the button won’t shop up in the editor when I site SiteOrigin Page Builder. But it did yesterday and I haven’t made any changes with my site or add new plugins or anything, so I don’t know what the problem is. But I can still shortcode it, the button just doesn’t show up.

   Using this plugin is much easier than going into my PayPal account to create buttons. I had a minor support issue that was resolved very quickly. Very satisfied with this product.
