Biggest opportunity: Swap “digital downloads”, “ecommerce” and “shopping cart” for “digital products”, “software licensing” and “digital goods”. “digital downloads” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “digital products” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ecommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “software licensing” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shopping cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “digital goods” sits at #9 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 →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 415.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,150 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 29 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.

Does the job with little fuss and easy to modify. Very fast and responsive support.

Why no reviews? It is because, actually almost no users visit this page, they directly install it from Download Manager ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/ ) when they need to activate digital e-commerce feature :).
