Stripe payments plugin for accepting one-time and recurring payments on WordPress

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.
