As someone who’s spent countless hours managing payments through online forms, I know firsthand how tedious it can be jumping between different dashboards just to confirm if a payment went through.
The constant tab-switching, manual refreshing, and wondering “did that payment actually process?” isn’t just frustrating – it’s eating up valuable time you could spend growing your business. Today, we’re changing that.
We’re excited to introduce real-time payment tracking with Square all within WPForms, a solution I wish I’d had years ago. Plus, we’ve added robust support for recurring payments, making it perfect for membership sites and subscription-based businesses. These powerful payment features are available for everyone.
What’s New
- Payment Statuses through Webhooks: Remember those times you had to toggle between tabs to see completed and refunded payments? Not anymore! See payment statuses directly within WPForms.
- Subscription Management: Easily lock in that recurring revenue.
- Payment Flexibility: Choose between one-time or recurring payments – because every business has different needs.
- Better than ever & available to everyone.
Setup Is Actually Simple (I Promise!)
To set up Webhooks, simply navigate to the Payments tab under WPForms Settings.
After you connect your Square account, you can enable Webhooks to capture those real-time payment statuses.
Just a few more easy-peasy steps and you are on your way. Check out our complete guide.
Real-World Applications
- Online Course Creators: No more manually checking if students’ payments cleared before granting course access
- Membership Site Owners: Catch failed payments before members experience service interruptions
- Service Providers: Finally, instant confirmation when client payments come through
- Non-Profit Organizations: Watch donations arrive in real-time (and spend more time on your mission)
- Subscription Businesses: Stop losing subscribers to payment issues you didn’t catch in time
Why I’m Excited
Well, to be honest, I am always excited by what we have going on here at WPForms because we are constantly looking for ways to help you succeed. This major update to our Square integration is no exception. It’s powerful, easy to use and will impact your bottom line in the best way possible. Now, that’s a reason to be excited.
Till next time,
Lauren
