Paymattic’s 2025 Journey: A Year of Growth, Innovation, and Success

An early Happy New Year greeting from us to you all!

Last year, we promised to make 2025 an extraordinary year for our users. 

And yes, we did it! We stayed true to that commitment.

4,000+ businesses now trust Paymattic

One of our proudest moments this year was reaching the 4,000 active installation milestone. For us, this isn’t just a number; it’s a sign of trust. It shows businesses and nonprofits consider Paymattic as a reliable platform to handle payments and donations for their organization.

This growth from 3,000+ to 4,000+ installations in a single year reflects the hard work our team put into making Paymattic better every single day. To every one of our 4,000+ users: thank you for your trust. You inspire us to keep pushing boundaries and raising the bar.

A fresh look: Redesigned our website

We built a new home for Paymattic. We invested significant time and resources into completely redesigning paymattic.com this year.

The new website isn’t just prettier, it’s smarter. We restructured the whole website to make the navigation easier for you. We organized every single page to clearly showcase real use cases to help you visualize how it fits your needs, and created dedicated sections for features, integrations, and resources.

We hope this new website makes your experience better and that you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed building it.

Key features developed in 2025

This year, our team rolled out 14 updates packed with features upon our users’ feedback. After every update, we published a release note that highlights what improvements we made. Here, we want to share the top highlights that we introduced in 2025.

Payment & subscription improvements

One of our biggest focuses this year was making payment processing and subscription management more powerful and flexible for our users. We improved the following:

Refund support for multiple gateways

We added refund support for Stripe, Razorpay, Paystack, and Square. Now, you can process refunds directly from your WordPress dashboard. This saves time and makes managing customer refunds incredibly simple.

Multiple Stripe subscriptions

A highly requested feature! You can now offer multiple Stripe subscription plans in a single form. This is perfect for businesses with tiered pricing or non-profits offering different membership levels. Users can choose the subscription plan that fits their needs, all within one simple checkout experience.

Tax support for subscription signup fee

We improved our tax calculation system to include subscription signup fees. This ensures accurate tax collection from day one, keeping your business compliant and your accounting clean.

Automated email reminders for upcoming renewals

Never let subscribers be surprised by renewals again! We introduced automated email reminders that notify your customers before their subscription renews. This transparency builds trust and reduces involuntary churn.

PayPal subscription cancellation from the user dashboard

Before all other payment gateway subscriptions can be cancelled from the Users dashboard, except for PayPal. Now users can cancel their PayPal and other gateways subscriptions directly from the user dashboard. This gives your customers more control and reduces support requests.

E-check support for Authorize.Net

We added E-Check payment support for Authorize.Net, giving your customers another convenient payment option. Especially popular for B2B transactions and recurring payments.

Custom Payment Gateway Integration

This year, we also focused on making Paymattic more flexible for businesses with unique payment needs. While Paymattic already supports 14 built-in payment gateways, we know that sometimes the gateway you need isn’t on the list.

That’s why we made it possible to build custom payment gateway integrations using Paymattic’s hooks and extension system. Developers can create their own payment gateway add-ons that work smoothly inside Paymattic.

Conditional logic improvements

Conditional logic lets your webforms work smarter. This year, we also made improvements to our existing conditional logic feature.

Conditional logic for donation items in emails

We introduced conditional logic for donation items in emails, allowing admins to control when emails are sent. For example, you can choose to send emails only when a donation reaches a specific amount.

Conditional logic for FluentCRM feeds

We added conditional logic support to FluentCRM integrations. Now you can control when contacts are added to FluentCRM based on form field values, payment status, or donation amounts, enabling smarter marketing automation.

Full conditional support for the tax field

The tax field now supports complete conditional logic. You can show or hide taxes based on location, product selection, or any other form field. It’s giving you ultimate flexibility in how you collect taxes.

Improved logic for radio, checkbox, and address country fields

We also improved conditional logic performance and accuracy for these field types. Complex conditional rules now work more reliably, especially when dealing with multiple conditions and address-based logic.

New fields & components

We introduced several new form elements to give you more flexibility in collecting information.

Full name component

A simple but powerful addition! The Full Name component provides a cleaner, more organized way to collect names compared to separate first and last name fields. It’s perfect for quick forms where you don’t need granular name data.

Dynamic payment field with numerical expressions

This is a game-changer for complex pricing scenarios. You can now create payment fields that calculate amounts based on mathematical expressions using other field values. Perfect for calculators, custom pricing tools, and dynamic pricing forms.

Placeholder option for name field

We added placeholder text support for name fields, improving the user experience by providing helpful hints about what information to enter. Small details like this make forms more intuitive.

Selection limit for checkbox fields

Control how many checkboxes users can select with the new selection limit feature. This is ideal for scenarios like “Select up to 3 options” or “Choose exactly 2 preferences,” giving you precise control over user input.

Other notable improvements in 2025

Beyond the major features, we continuously worked on fixing bugs and refining the user experience. Here are some of the important fixes we made this year to ensure everything runs smoothly:

• Integration “On Payment Success” option
• Duplicate integration & notification feeds
• First/Last name mapping in FluentCRM
• Paymattic dashboard access for multiple roles
• Improved UI for Moneris checkout
• Improved address & country behavior
• Improved choose-payment-method component
• Security fixes (sanitization & escaping)
• Faster entries query performance
• Fixed shortcode handling, validation, and multiple front-end layout issues
