Biggest opportunity: “ecommerce”, “products” and “shop” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 700 of 355.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,140 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| ecommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| products your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| shop your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| shopify your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

No replies to tickets and their “sign up for private slack channel” forwards you to a purchase landing page. Yes, this was from a paid license. Absolute joke. Update: found a link to get into the slack channel (of three links, the other one forwards you to slack sign up page with approved domains). Finally got an answer that didnt work, but provided me enough info to figure it out. Developer says more support resource is on the way. 3 stars.

This software does not work at all and the author NEVER responds to support requests. We were unable o make this soiftware work AT ALL with Shopify and could not get any support from the author after many requests. Do not waste your time with this garbage and it’s disinterested author.

Development on the plugin is active and we’ve always received 5 star customer service any time we’ve had a question.

I’ve had amazing support from Andrew. He has helped me with an out of the box question (showing that orders are from ShopWP app as separate from the ones made on the Shopify store/site). He was incredibly helpful and kept at it until we worked out a fix (and he’s even going to update the plugin!). Personally I have had no problems with the app at all. I’ll upgrade to the Pro for the auto sync but the free version has synced well and the cart seems to also work well for us. Thanks Andrew!

Very fast and seamless install of ShopWP Pro. However, when the rubber met the road, we ran into a sync issue. We reviewed all the documentation on errors, but none applied. We reached out to support and within a couple of hours Andrew contacted us. He worked with us continuously and resolved the matter quickly. Great customer support and an amazing experience!

Quick setup with a lot of customisable options. Support by responsive slack channel and good documentation.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ apart4.4y ago
Many merchants want the CMS benefits of WordPress, but the dedicated ecommerce functionality of Shopify. It took us years to find a good way to integrate the two together, and the team behind ShopWP has, by far, done the best job. While the original functionality was exactly what we were looking for, it has continued to evolve, maintaining the ‘never settle’ attitude that keep both WP and Shopify in their respective industry leads. And we would rank support – for both responsiveness and effectiveness – towards the top of the list of all third party services we have used in 24+ years of web development.

Set up was easy. Andrew was super helpful in providing answers to the questions that I had. Fairly quickly too!
