About Paymattic
Paymattic keeps closing the gap with dedicated donation plugins, one gateway at a time.
Releases land every few weeks and read as a checklist against dedicated donation and payment plugins: Gift Aid declarations for UK charities, a fee-recovery field so donors can cover processing costs, conditional payment-method triggers for notifications, Xendit subscriptions, invoice downloads, and donor-facing subscription cancellation. The most recent release adds Stripe card updates, feed mapping, and Square verification. A GiveWP migrator shipped in the spring, importing forms, donors, donations, and subscriptions.
