Biggest opportunity: Swap “payment form”, “fundraising” and “stripe” for “charity”, “stripe checkout” and “stripe payment”. “payment form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “charity” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “fundraising” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “stripe checkout” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “stripe” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “stripe payment” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 800 of 49.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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 4 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 “payment form”, “fundraising” and “stripe” for “charity”, “stripe checkout” and “stripe payment”. “payment form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “charity” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “fundraising” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “stripe checkout” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “stripe” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “stripe payment” sits at #22 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 “donation”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “donation form”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ adrianasuncoast11mo ago
What an experience! I waited less than a minute before someone jumped in to help. He checked the plugin immediately, explained exactly what needed to be done and even tested the checkout with his own real card – which actually processed successfully on our end! Everything worked perfectly after that and he also advised on additional settings we could be using to improve how we run the plugin. Honestly, if more support people were like this, the world would be a much better place. Exceptional service, incredibly helpful and genuinely invested in solving the problem. Highly recommend!

The plugin is incredibly easy to use! Super fast setup and integration with stripe. The customer support was also incredibly helpful when problems came up!

Support was excellent, I had an issue (of my own making turns out) and the developer jumped on chat right away, troubleshooted, and fixed really quick and now it works just fine. Thank you!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ dwkinkead3.0y ago
Please, please read this. This plugin is the absolute worst plugin I have ever used. Please take my advice and do not purchase it — you will regret it. Not enough space here to write about all the problems. All these other reviews must be from friends of the developer. Also, there is no recurring donation feature, so what’s the point?
