PluginsPedia reports published data and observable changes. It does not rate plugin quality or safety, infer intent, or make recommendations. These are observations rather than a verdict. How this works

Ownership

Held by WooCommerce throughout, with no change of ownership observed since daily tracking began on 02 Aug 2026.

Full observed history, including every field transition

Committing accounts

Read from the plugin’s public release log, so these predate this registry. A committing account is not an owner. Thirty accounts commit to WooCommerce and it has never changed hands.

This registry did not observe a transfer; it read these names off a public log. Whether that reflects a change of ownership is not something the directory publishes.

Adoption

How widely the plugin is installed, and what the people running it think of it. WordPress.org rounds install figures to one significant digit, so they describe an order of magnitude rather than a headcount.

Very widely adopted: 800,000+ active installs. In the top tier of the directory by install count.

13,647 downloads a day over the last 7 days, rising 54% against the 7 days before. Downloads are counted exactly and without a ceiling, so they show movement the rounded install figure cannot.

Opinion is split: 56% rate it five stars and 35% rate it one. An average alone would not show that.

13 ratings left in the last 82 days, averaging 4.6 out of 5 against a lifetime average of 3.4 (1 of them one or two stars). Recent ratings are running above the lifetime figure.

Install band fell to 800,000+ on 08 Aug 2026, from 900,000+. Both figures are rounded to one significant digit, so the size of the change is not knowable from them.

From recent reviews

What reviewers wrote on wordpress.org between 25 Jun 2026 and 03 Sep 2026: 17 reviews, counted by theme. Every count links to the reviews behind it.

Reviewers overwhelmingly credit WooPayments' support team, with 16 of 17 recent reviews describing effective help from the Woo Happiness Engineers. Nine of those reviews specifically call the response fast, using words like quick, prompt, or immediate. Seven reviews describe support resolving a concrete payment or account problem, including checkout glitches, invoicing mismatches, Google Pay errors, and a two factor authentication lockout. A smaller set, 2 of 17 reviews, flag feature gaps unrelated to support, such as missing currency preference caching and card icon display quirks. Overall, reviewers frame their experience around the support channel rather than the plugin's day to day functionality.

Counted from the public review forum on 10 Sep 2026. The reviews are their authors’ own words and their own claims; the counts are ours.

Daily record

Every field we record, one column per observation. Fields that never moved are named once rather than repeated across every column. A row of identical numbers would be padding.

Maintenance

When it was last released, and how far its declared compatibility has drifted from current WordPress.

Is anyone still maintaining this?

  • Last released 08 Oct 2026, 31 days ago.
  • Declares compatibility with WordPress 7.1.4, which is current.
  • 6 of 9 support threads answered in the last two months.
  • The same account maintains 27 other plugins, 16 of which were updated in the last 90 days. the account is active.

A plugin that does one thing correctly may need no changes for years; a long gap is not, by itself, evidence of neglect.

History

Everything dated that this registry holds about the plugin, most recent first. Releases carry the author’s own release date; everything else is dated to when it was observed.

Entries marked from the release log predate this registry, and daily observation began 02 Aug 2026. They were read from the plugin’s public SVN history after the fact, not watched as they happened. Everything else was observed directly.

Media coverage

Writing about this plugin elsewhere, collected by this registry. The links go to the sources; what they claim is theirs.

What we know, and what we don’t

Everything on this page in one place, including the gaps, so that nothing here is mistaken for a clean bill of health.

What we know

  • It has been held by WooCommerce for all 91 days we have observed it.
  • It was last released 30 days ago (08 Oct 2026).
  • Its author declares it tested up to WordPress 7.1.4, which is current.
  • WordPress.org reports 800,000+ active installs.
  • It carries 177 ratings, averaging 3.4 out of 5.
  • 6 of 9 support threads in the last two months are marked resolved.

Every record on this site, this one included, works under the same limits. We read what WordPress.org publishes about a plugin, never the plugin’s own code, so nothing here says whether a plugin is well built or safe. Install counts reach us already rounded; a change smaller than a band step doesn’t show. We don’t track security advisories yet. For anything older than our first observation we rely on the plugin’s public release log, where one exists. What this registry can and cannot see

Similar plugins

Plugins that share this one’s tags and talk about the same things in their own descriptions. Distinctive tags count for far more than broad ones. Sharing hover means something, sharing woocommerce does not, and a plugin that never mentions the subject matter is left out however its author tagged it. Among close matches, more widely installed plugins are listed first. This is a grouping rather than a ranking of quality.

Grouped from the tags each author chose for their own plugin, so the grouping is only as good as those tags.
