Biggest opportunity: “credit card”, “payment request” and “standalone” 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 200 of 12.6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,170 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

Great payment gateway solution and alternative for Moroccan residents , verification takes almost a few hours and the support is always there to help . One little issue though is that customers with some types of banks especially credit unions banks in th US have some problems where they can’t get past 3D Secure step . But overall , everything is great !
