50 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

Around 1,000 active installs shows modest adoption, well behind larger alternatives like Listo at 8,000 installs.

Update Freshness

7/25

Last updated February 2025 and tested against WordPress 6.7.5 suggests the author is keeping pace with core releases, though the update frequency over the plugin's lifetime is unclear from the data.

User Rating

15/15

A perfect 100/100 from 5 ratings is encouraging but the tiny sample size makes it statistically thin and easy to be skewed by a handful of enthusiastic users.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved means there is no track record to evaluate responsiveness, which is a yellow flag for a plugin handling checkout data.

WP Compatibility

8/15

It works with WordPress 6.7.5 and requires WordPress 4.7 or higher, but no PHP version is declared, which is a minor transparency issue.

What It Does

WC Provincia Canton Distrito adds custom subdivisions (provincias, cantons, distritos) and postcodes to the WooCommerce checkout, replacing the default country/state fields with a geographic hierarchy suited to Costa Rica and other Latin American regions. It populates the WooCommerce state and city dropdowns so customers can select their location from a structured list rather than typing free-form text.

Who It's For

This plugin is aimed at Costa Rican online stores and any WooCommerce merchant shipping to Central American countries that use provincia/canton/distrito or similar three-tier geographic divisions. It is most useful for shops that need accurate, localized address data for shipping, tax, or regional delivery zones.

Who Should Skip It

If your store sells primarily in the United States, Canada, Europe, or countries that already have full state/city data in WooCommerce, this plugin will add no value and may even clutter your checkout. Stores using a multi-purpose address plugin like the alternatives below also do not need it.

The Bottom Line

WC Provincia Canton Distrito does one specific job, populating Costa Rica-style geographic hierarchies in WooCommerce checkout, and it does so on a recent WordPress version. The perfect user rating is based on only 5 reviews and there is no visible support history, so treat the 53.3/100 quality score as a fair warning to test thoroughly before relying on it in production. It is a reasonable pick for its narrow target market, but merchants needing broader regional coverage or proven support should look at the alternatives above.

Pick this if you ship to Portugal and need districts and municipalities, as it has 5,000 installs and a higher overall score.

Ubigeo de Perú para Woocommerce y WordPress 75/100

Pick this for Peru-specific ubigeo data with department/province/district coverage and a stronger score of 74.92.

Country State City Dropdown CF7 66/100

Pick this if you also need Contact Form 7 integration alongside WooCommerce, since it covers a broader set of forms.

Listo 53/100

Pick this if you need a general-purpose address plugin with 8,000 installs, though its overall score is comparable to the plugin reviewed here.
