About WP Simple Pay
WP Simple Pay made recurring payments free, betting reach beats gating the marquee feature.
The releases track Stripe's own surface: 4.16 added region-specific local payment methods, 4.13 Stripe compliance controls and required-price options, and older versions layered ACH, Bacs, GrabPay, and multi-item checkout. The standout is 4.14, which removed the paywall on recurring subscription payments. The newest entry is October 2025, so the feed is somewhat stale.
