Biggest opportunity: Swap “gateway” for “accept bitcoin”. “gateway” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “accept bitcoin” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 50 of 3.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,043 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments 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 2 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.

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 plugin and the Zaprite service is an great way to accept payments on your website in variety of currencies. Zaprite supports a number of custodial and non-custodial methods of accepting bitcoin, and allows you to seamlessly swap between them so your customers always have a great payment experience.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ themochabean2.6y ago
As a wordpress developer, I love having a consistent, beautiful checkout experience for all my customers, but I also want to make sure the customer can pay how they feel most comfortable. With Zaprite you get all of this. Because Zaprite connects with Stripe or Square and also accepts bitcoin in numerous ways (on-chain, lightning, custodial, non-custodial, you name it), it truly is all-in-one payment solution and the plugin rocks! Great plugin and will be using it my projects going forward!
