WordPress payment and donation plugin with subscriptions, forms and multiple payment gateways

A WordPress payment-form plugin quietly rebuilding itself around donations.

Current state
Paymattic is a WordPress payments and donations plugin shipping on a steady 4.6.x point-release cadence. Its recent work concentrates on the fundraising side — Gift Aid declarations, a GiveWP importer, donation progress bars and leaderboards — rather than generic checkout. A broad gateway roster (Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, Xendit, Viva Wallet) and subscription controls back a mature feature set.
Where it's heading
The through-line is a deliberate tilt toward fundraising: the 4.6.x line keeps adding features that matter to charities and recurring-donation operators — Gift Aid tax reclaim, refunds, subscription cancellation, and a one-click migrator aimed squarely at GiveWP's user base. Paymattic is positioning less as a form builder and more as a donation platform. Translatable billing strings and conditional notifications point to a push beyond its home market.
Prediction
Expect more donation-vertical work — additional Gift-Aid-style regional compliance and fundraising UX — plus deeper migration tooling to pull users off competing donation plugins.
