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

Paymattic keeps closing the gap with dedicated donation plugins, one gateway at a time.

Current state
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.
Where it's heading
The direction is depth in nonprofit payments rather than breadth in commerce. Gift Aid, fee recovery, recurring-donation labels, and self-service cancellation are all fundraising-specific concerns, and the GiveWP migrator names the install base Paymattic wants. Gateway coverage keeps widening in parallel — Stripe, Square, Xendit, Authorize.net — which is what a WordPress payments plugin has to do to be the default choice regardless of region. Feed announcements are teaser-length, so scope has to be read from the titles.
Prediction
Expect more country-specific compliance features in the Gift Aid mold, and continued gateway parity work rather than a change in what the plugin fundamentally does.
