What is TaxDome?
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.
What is WP Simple Pay?
WP Simple Pay 4.17.4 brings payments and refunds into WordPress, no Stripe tab needed.
The feed's first entry since October 2025, 4.17.4 adds a Transactions page listing every one-time payment with status filters, search by customer email and spreadsheet export, plus refunds from inside WordPress. Earlier releases tracked Stripe's own surface: 4.16 added local payment methods and 4.13 compliance controls. The standout remains 4.14, which removed the paywall on recurring subscription payments.

TaxDome

TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
◆ Current state
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.
◆ Where it's heading
After the October push on firm-wide visibility (Work Forecaster, grouping jobs by pipeline), TaxDome is now on smaller workflow fixes that save clicks for staff who live in Jobs, Tasks and Pipelines. The cadence is several small releases a week.
◆ Prediction
More small list and filter fixes are likely, since TaxDome is openly asking users which interface details slow them down. Filters stored only per browser suggest saved filters synced across devices could follow.
WP Simple Pay
0.0FINANCE
WP Simple Pay 4.17.4 brings payments and refunds into WordPress, no Stripe tab needed.
◆ Current state
The feed's first entry since October 2025, 4.17.4 adds a Transactions page listing every one-time payment with status filters, search by customer email and spreadsheet export, plus refunds from inside WordPress. Earlier releases tracked Stripe's own surface: 4.16 added local payment methods and 4.13 compliance controls. The standout remains 4.14, which removed the paywall on recurring subscription payments.
◆ Where it's heading
Until now the plugin competed on Stripe coverage and, with 4.14, on access. 4.17.4 points somewhere new: replacing trips to the Stripe Dashboard for daily payment work. That makes WordPress the place a site owner runs payments, not only collects them.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Transactions view to take on more payment operations, alongside continued fast-following of Stripe payment methods. Whether free subscriptions shifted monetization elsewhere isn't visible in these entries.
