of downloads still active
At least 100 of 2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,149 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 1 release 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.

Very easy to set up, works out of the box and simplifies the sync of orders, contacts, Stripe fees, etc from Woocommerce to Xero. Nick was super helpful and support service was always fast when I was inquiring about customizations for a particular use case. Top of the list among the other WordPress plugins that I tested.

The plug-in is great, it facilitates accurate creation of our sales orders from two separate websites into our Xero company accounts. From the draft invoices we can check and reconcile all orders against our merchant and bank accounts before posting, saving a lot of manual work that was previously required. The support is fantastic, we needed a few customisations in the start-up, the fee for this was reasonable and the results excellent. Highly recommended.

This plugin not only does everything it says it does, but the support is amazing. Nick was able to create bespoke customisations for different accounts, products and categories in a short amount of time. Very satisfied customer. Highly recommended product.

We recently switched to Xelation from a competitor’s products and the experience has been great. Setup literally does take “less than a minute” and then invoices are created immediately in Xero after an order is placed in Woo. We did want a few small customizations to what appears in the invoices and each time the Xelation team was very responsive and able to make the changes we required. Highly recommended.
