Biggest opportunity: Swap “products”, “themes” and “woocommerce” for “catalogue”, “mode” and “woocommerce badges”. “products” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “catalogue” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “themes” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mode” sits at #7 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. “woocommerce badges” sits at #15 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 →2.3%
of downloads still active
At least 60K of 2.6M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,167 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 9 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “products”, “themes” and “woocommerce” for “catalogue”, “mode” and “woocommerce badges”. “products” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “catalogue” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “themes” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mode” sits at #7 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. “woocommerce badges” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

just waht i was looking for This topic was modified 1 month, 3 weeks ago by marwalmt29. Reason: good

The mini cart and account links remain in the site nav, even when using default WP themes like Twenty Twenty-Five and Twenty Twenty-Three. This is an obvious Fail all on its own. But the mini cart even remains functional — so that’s a true Epic Fail.

If you need a “right to the target” plugin to get a catalog mode in woocommerce, then this is the ideal one to install. Thanks to developer.

You can’t replace or hide prices on free version, so not great help.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ glazergallery2.8y ago
We have used this plug-in on our Woocommerce website for years, because we sell unique items and a shopping cart is not appropriate for our business. The plug-in has always worked well.
