How to see amount of downloads for your approved marketplace items

Permalink
Is there a way to see how many times one of your own marketplace items has been downloaded?

So under Licenses is how many times its been downloaded? Or does it only count when someone adds it their cart even when its free?

As far as I can tell, the number of licenses is strictly that - the number of projects using that addon / theme.

However, the number of actual downloads would be useful too, which I'm sure would be quite different than what's displayed for the number of licenses.

Thanks; I hadn't discovered that!

For me, it would be encouraging to see the total number of downloads (and ideally installations) of free add-ons because, if the number were significant, it would motivate me to develop more.

Would be nice for users to see this to!

I did a little experiment with my free add-ons.
If I use the download link the number of licenses doesn't change
If I use the cart and checkout, the count in incremented even if I don't assign the license to a project

I suppose that means that numbers we see for free add-ons are not actually that representative.

My free Social Icons Reloaded add-ons for 5.6.x show 6079 licenses. I wonder how many more downloaded directly and were not counted.

@AliceTr I sometimes think like you but I'd be curious to know what your stance is on this. What benefit do you see coming from showing those numbers?

A sure way is to skip the marketplace stats and embed an image in an addon that is rendered from your own server and track image requests. @goutnet created an addon for 5.6 that would serve and track images.

You have to be careful about doing such. Some users may get upset.
