Using these key metrics and Flippa’s extensive sales data, the Flippa Online Business Valuation Plugin generates a real-time valuation for your online business.

Yes, you can. Once installed the Flippa Online Business Valuation plugin can be used at any time to get an up-to-date valuation for your online business. The Flippa plugin relies on real-time sales data for your online store, benchmarked against historical sales data from the Flippa marketplace, so your valuation is likely to be changing all the time.

Can I use the Flippa plugin without registering at Flippa?
-

-
Is the Flippa Valuation accurate?
-
Yes. Flippa has more historical sales data than anyone else, and is the largest marketplace for buying and selling digital businesses, with over 10 years of sales history. Most of the information we need about your business to calculate your valuation is extracted from your past WooCommerce sales data. However, there are a few extra data points that we’ll need you to provide us with to complete your valuation. If the information you provide is accurate, your valuation will be in the ballpark of what you could expect to sell it for on the Flippa marketplace.
