Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce” for “steps”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “steps” sits at #5 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 8K of 440.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,155 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 3 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 “woocommerce” for “steps”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “steps” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Very good and compatible plugin. Please add remove shipping step for virtual products, automatically. This topic was modified 2 years ago by Reza.

It’s nice plugin, but it’s made in such way you need to buy PRO version, if you want to be useful (for example: new customers can’t register from checkout or errors aren’t validated in each step, but on last page). Otherwise it’s okay plugin…
