Biggest opportunity: Swap “inventory”, “woocommerce” and “stock sync” for “guided selling”, “paypal” and “person”. “inventory” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “guided selling” sits at #5 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. “paypal” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “stock sync” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “person” sits at #22 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 →4.5%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 88.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,146 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 3 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 “inventory”, “woocommerce” and “stock sync” for “guided selling”, “paypal” and “person”. “inventory” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “guided selling” sits at #5 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. “paypal” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “stock sync” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “person” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “point of sale”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Problem solved within one hour! Great 🙂

Hi Zettle team,I’m using your PayPal Zettle POS for WooCommerce plugin and have been happy with the integration overall. However, I’ve noticed that the plugin hasn’t been updated for over 9 months, and WordPress is now showing a warning that it hasn’t been tested with the latest version.I wanted to ask whether an update is planned, and if the plugin is still being actively maintained. It would be helpful to know whether we can rely on continued support and compatibility going forward.Thank you in advance for your time and for an otherwise great product.

Works great on our site and synchs perfectly with Zettle. Only thing that would make it even better is to have the product categories synch with Zettle too.

Not only does it have bugs and syncing problems, but also it needs a lot more functions. For example, how come purchase price is not synced yet? Usually it works fine, with basic features, but please make it better.

I have been using Zettle in store since November 2022. I thought having this plug-in to connect my in-store purchases to my website inventory would be perfect. I have had nothing but issues out of this plug-in and Zettle combined. Items sold in store are not reduced in inventory on WooCommerce. Barcodes and sku for products are constantly forgotten. I have been told it is the firewall for my hosting site, I disabled it, tested it and still no fix, had dreamhost test it with no change, so re-enabled it. Then it must be a plug-in, so I disabled each plug-in, tested, had no change, so re-enabled them. Then it must be a hardware issue, so they sent us new Zettles. Wasn’t that either. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, disconnected, reconnected, redid API keys, re-synced, made test sites for the support team, allowed access to my site for the to the support team, and they still have not come up with a solution. After nine months of inventory, miss-management, I would not recommend this to anyone.

Haben die Zettle Kasse gekauft, Plugin synct nicht. Zettle verweist an Pluginhersteller aber der kann da wohl nix machen. Die Kasse zurückgegeben und nun der Hammer: Das iPad nehmen sie nicht zurück und der Supporter ist rotzfrech geworden. Geht zum Anwalt. Finger weg sag ich nur. 1250 Eur für das Zeug ist zu teuer, Kosten ab Juli 2023 auch noch PRO BUCHUNG. Paypal ist nicht mehr das was es mal war, haben ja auch Kartellverfahren zu Recht an den Hacken.

I bought this plug-in to sync my online store and physical shop and it is a game changer for me. After initial problems syncing prices, the support to get this working was excellent. The support team are very supportive (and patient with my lack of tech knowledge) and very knowledgeable. Also got some great tips along the way. Would recommend this plugin and thank you to the team for your support.
