Biggest opportunity: Swap “product catalog”, “stock management” and “woocommerce alternative” for “inventory management”, “woocommerce inventory management” and “low stock”. “product catalog” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “inventory management” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “stock management” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “woocommerce inventory management” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce alternative” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “low stock” sits at #13 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 →0.7%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 143K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,142 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 16 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.

Great products and youtube clips for getting going. Purchased Advanced Management, Advanced Search, Import/Export. All integrates well, needed Lightbox and Lightbox-2 (free) for additional features on looking at image files in a new window. Fast response to issues (99% new user… “how can I”) questions. Good detail in email responses. Thoroughly recommneded team and product. Cheers

We purchased the entire suite of plugins and use them all except for two. Installation was easy and straightforward. There were small issues which the developer fixed immediately. The documentation videos are easy to follow. We are even using the plugins for a website that is not 100% the way it’s supposed to be used and it is serving our needs. Thank you for your guidance and suggestions during the process. Please add a troubleshooting section to the website. There were a few things I was doing wrong in setting up the display settings. Once I understood how the fields worked, I was able to correct my mistake. Thanks for a great product – Michelle

I bought the Inventory Manager and the import/export add on and they were excellent with helping me getting it fully set up and answer every question I had about how to use it properly! They went above and beyond for me to get it to work how I wanted it to and work with my page. HIGHLY recommend this application for your inventory needs. I may end up using more of their applications as my store grows. Thank you everyone!

WP Inventory Manager makes keeping track of my inventory easy. Instead of having to use a complicated spreadsheet or expensive software, this plugin offers a comprehensive package for a very reasonable price. The base system is great on its own, but with the add ons it becomes truly top of the line. The Advanced Management that allows you to create as many custom types as you want is particularly useful! And whenever I had problems with it, the support was prompt and detailed. Can’t wait to see what extension they come out with next.

I have received great support in dealing with some of the issues I have run into. They are very thorough when looking for a solution and upfront with exactly how to fix it or institute a workaround. Thanks!
