Biggest opportunity: Swap “shipping”, “ups” and “woocommerce” for “label printing”, “marketplace integration” and “fedex”. “shipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “label printing” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ups” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “marketplace integration” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “fedex” sits at #12 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 →2.9%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 34.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,142 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.

This is definitely the goto tool to ensure that we can get our orders automagically sent to the XPS system for shipping. It works as expected, but it does have limitations for certain customization, such as being able to show specific shipping services on a product type, currently, I need to modify the code and add our requirements manually + on each update. Going to suggest these and see if it can happen.

Shipping support is amazing, but if you want any help with the plugin and all the errors it throws, you will hear crickets. They can’t even update their website to point to the right Customer Support ticketing system. They moved from Zendesk but still has Zendesk links everywhere, causing you to add support tickets twice.We are going to have to look at moving due to the horrible technical support.
