Struggling to build predictable income for your business? The path to a steady revenue stream, often tied to recurring payments, used to be limited by technical hurdles or premium features.

It’s time to change that!

This major update means you can now effortlessly set up steady revenue streams for:

🔑 Memberships and exclusive content access

💻 Online courses and digital product subscriptions

💝 Regular donations or recurring contributions

🎁 Curated subscription boxes or ongoing service fees

✨… and any other recurring income model you can imagine

Building a sustainable online business with predictable revenue is now simpler and more accessible than ever, all from your WordPress dashboard.

This update also introduces customizable cancelled subscription messages, new payment form templates, and enhanced security powered by Stripe’s Unified Payment Element (UPE).

Dive in to explore all of the new features designed to help you build a sustainable online business.

Unlock Recurring Revenue: Subscriptions Now Available to All! 🔐

Building on our promise to make recurring income accessible to all, WP Simple Pay 4.14 expands subscription payment capabilities across every license level.

Here’s how each plan benefits:

✔️ Lite: Quickly launch simple recurring payments with preset intervals (weekly, monthly, yearly) using Stripe Checkout. It’s the fastest way to get your first subscription going.

✔️ Personal & Plus: Gain more control with customizable recurring billing intervals, whether you’re using Stripe Checkout or on-site forms.

✔️ Professional & Elite: Access the full power of subscriptions, including installment plans, free trials, setup fees, and 100% discounts on signups, alongside fully customizable recurring billing.

Improve User Retention with Customizable Cancelled Subscription Messages 🗣️

When a customer cancels a subscription, it’s not always the end of the relationship. It’s an opportunity to gather feedback, offer alternatives, or simply provide a clear, professional closing message.

While the plugin has already allowed you to create customized cancelled subscription email messages, the “Subscription Cancelled” message has remained a standard, uneditable phrase.

Now, with this latest update, users can fully customize the message displayed to customers after a subscription cancellation.

This new flexibility means you can:

Maintain brand consistency: Ensure your messaging always aligns with your brand’s voice and tone.

Improve customer experience: Offer a personalized message that can help retain a customer, gather insights, or guide them to other resources.

Provide clear communication: Prevent confusion by delivering a custom message that addresses their specific situation.

Launch Payment Forms Faster with Brand New Templates ⚡

Setting up a new payment form doesn’t have to be a long, time-consuming process. We’re always looking for ways to help you streamline your workflow.

WP Simple Pay 4.14 debuts two powerful new payment form templates designed to help you hit the ground running:

🎁 Voucher + Shipping & Handling Form: Perfect for businesses selling gift certificates or physical products that require shipping calculations.

📚 Course + Physical Workbook Form: Ideal for educators and creators offering online courses bundled with tangible learning materials.

You can easily find these new templates by navigating to WP Simple Pay → Add New Payment Form and searching for them.

Enhanced Payments: Now Fully Powered by Stripe’s UPE 🚀

Behind the scenes, we’re constantly working to ensure WP Simple Pay leverages the most powerful and secure payment technologies available.

To deliver on this promise, we’ve made a significant update: all payment forms now exclusively use Stripe’s Unified Payment Element (UPE).

WP Simple Pay 4.14 has officially transitioned to UPE, modernizing the entire payment experience.

What does this mean for you and your customers?

🌍 Access to the Latest Payment Methods: UPE automatically supports new payment methods as they become available from Stripe, ensuring you’re always equipped to serve a wider global audience.

⚡️ Optimized Conversion: Stripe’s UPE is designed for peak performance and user experience, adapting dynamically to your customer’s location and preferred payment methods for smoother, faster checkouts.

🔒 Future-Proof Security & Reliability: By aligning with Stripe’s most advanced infrastructure, your payment forms benefit from enhanced security measures and ongoing performance improvements.

🖥️ Simplified Management: This consolidation streamlines our development, allowing us to focus on building even more powerful features for you, without maintaining older systems.

This transition ensures that every WP Simple Pay user is on the cutting edge of online payment technology. You’ll receive a notification about this migration, but rest assured, your forms are now more robust and adaptable than ever.
