of downloads still active
At least 2K of 155.4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,169 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 7 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.

Zip Co is a billion-dollar company and they can’t be bothered to provide an up-to-date plugin.

PHP 8.2. Getting these errors flooding my debug.log. I don’t want to turn off deprecation warnings as I need them. Is this plugin being worked on? I don’t want to turn Zip Pay off but I am considering it. I’m posting this as a review because it looks like the developer is not responding in the support thread. [26-Oct-2024 04:15:48 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Optional parameter $amount declared before required parameter $currency is implicitly treated as a required parameter in /home/1061976.cloudwaysapps.com/wvsxervhpq/public_html/wp-content/plugins/zipmoney-payments-woocommerce/includes/api/class-wc-zipmoney-payment-gateway-api-charge.php on line 36 This topic was modified 1 year, 8 months ago by robmaric.

Non existing support: they never answer requests. I notified several issues and never received an answer. The plugin does weird things in the WooCommerce database, as changing the post type of the order while it’s being accepted or not. They say they are compatible with HPOS, but they keep considering that Orders are Posts. If HPOS is enabled and sync with the legacy database schema is disabled, the plugin will cause problems and mess in the database, replacing the type of posts from shop_order_placeholder type to shop_order. This is potentially problematic. This topic was modified 2 years, 2 months ago by David Marín Carreño.

Adds about 10% time to a pages load times, loads on every page even when you aren’t using any of the widgets. This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by alkaway.

Just undergoing some WordPress maintenance and updating this plugin. I noticed the reviews are few and not that positive. My experience with the plugin has been smooth. Minimal updates when I first installed a few updates but worked nonetheless. Seems to be better supported now. Would be great if there were a few tweaks made to improve load times (as noted in one of the support threads).

With a few clicks I found this plugin incredibly easy to setup and get my clients store setup to use zipPay + zipMoney as a payment option in Woocommerce. Works great and haven’t had any problems a month into using it.

If you’re looking to integrate zipmoney via a plugin, this is definitely the solution, since by the company zipmoney itself. to be honest, little confusing experience (even for a developer) bottomline: after some fiddling, great features! like the landing page etc, very well thought of. banners etc could be a bit better but you can embed cool linked banners yourself where you need them. Still confused that I wanted the zipmoney landing page and it shows the zipPay landing page… And I hope that one the 19th the plugin will have all changes correctly done with the rebranding, so it’s a hassle free switch to their new branding. Status 18 Jun 2018 P.S. thanks for the reply here in wordpress.org too! cheers! This topic was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by konradS.
