Wietse Wind indicates that he has tested the plugin and has paid the reward. The remuneration had meanwhile risen to 4,635 XRP, with a value of around $ 1,469.
WooCommerce is one open source e-commerce platform made for WordPress and supported by around 3.3 million web stores. Users can use the new one plugin via GitHub to download.
