Biggest opportunity: Add “variations” to your wp.org tags. You rank #23 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →2.0%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 10.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,168 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 6 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

Been using this plugin for one year without any issues! Thank you for creating this as it’s beneficial for my marketplaces!

I don’t know if this plugin works on other themes but it didn’t work for me with Elementor. The “edit item” button gets added (which is actually really well designed btw) but, once it is pressed, the product just disappears from the cart and that’s it.
