This year has been full of exciting WordPress updates, new features, and creative solutions to common challenges.

Our goal at WPBeginner has always been to make WordPress easier for everyone, whether you’re just starting out or managing a growing website. In 2024, we published hundreds of tutorials designed to help you build better websites, grow your online presence, and improve your skills.

In this roundup, we’ve carefully selected the most popular and helpful tutorials of the year. Whether you missed these articles or want a quick way to revisit them, this guide will help you catch up on all the must-read WordPress content from 2024.

WPBeginner Recap 2024 by Syed Balkhi

2024 has been a year full of new experiences, accomplishments, and lessons learned.

On the personal front, this was one of the most emotionally challenging years of my life despite all the amazing accomplishments on the business side. I truly believe everything happens FOR you, not to you … and this core belief has been very helpful during difficult moments.

I’m blessed beyond my wildest dreams, and I feel that I am ending the year with greater clarity & direction for 2025.

I turned 34 years old, visited 9 countries including a new continent (Australia), passed the milestone of over 30 million websites using our software, completed 5 business acquisitions + numerous investments, and overall, I’m ending the year with a lot of positive things shaping up for 2025.

None of this would be possible without the support of my wife, Amanda, and my family.

Note: I did a personal 2024 year end review on my blog that has more lessons and insights along with my goals for 2025.

This year, WPBeginner turned 15 years old, and we’ve been doing a lot of amazing work.

I am excited to share that our products are now being used on 30 million websites! It’s amazing to see how much of an impact our products are having on small business owners worldwide.

Our growth is a direct result of WordPress’s incredible growth and the support of our amazing WPBeginner community.

On top of that, readers have been asking us for our recommendations for WordPress design services, development, and more for many years.

That’s why we launched WPBeginner Pro Services this year:

• WordPress Website Maintenance: We handle all the technical details like backups, uptime monitoring, and updates so you can focus on growing your business.
• WordPress Website Design: Get a beautiful and affordable custom website for your small business, all without lifting a finger.
• Emergency WordPress Support: If your site is broken, we’ll fix it — fast.
• Hacked Site Repair: We remove malicious code, malware, and files so you can get back up and running in no time.
• Site Speed Optimization: Get a blazing-fast website that improves the user experience and your SEO rankings.
• WordPress SEO Service: We’ll set up a strong SEO foundation on your website for higher rankings, more traffic, and long-term growth.

There have also been a lot of exciting developments across our suite of WordPress plugins and SaaS software. Here’s a quick recap of the highlights from this year.

WPForms

WPForms is the best online form builder for WordPress, and it has always made form creation easy with its drag-and-drop builder and 2000+ templates. This year, we also added a powerful AI form builder.

Simply enter information about the type of form you want to make, and WPForms will instantly generate a custom form with fields that meet your specific needs. This can be a huge time saver, especially for beginners.

We also released a Dropbox addon for sending form submissions straight to Dropbox and a Slack addon for instantly receiving notifications about submissions. These features make it super easy to improve your workflows without any extra effort.

Apart from that, we added more powerful features, including conditional logic for multiple form fields and repeatable fields to speed up the form-building process.

I truly believe that WPForms is a must-have plugin for small business owners, and I’m proud of all the new features they continue to add. To get started with WPForms, you can try out the free plugin.

AIOSEO

All in One SEO (AIOSEO) is the best WordPress SEO plugin, and my team has worked hard this year to make it even better.

We added a powerful new Writing Assistant, which completely transforms how you create content in WordPress. It’s like a personal assistant that works inside the content editor.

Writing Assistant integrates with the SEOBoost platform to provide detailed content briefs and suggestions with main keywords, LSI keywords, readability improvements, and more. That way, you can create SEO-optimized content right from the beginning.

Just watch the video below to see it in action.

We also released an Author SEO addon for improving E-E-A-T on your website, which is crucial for ranking on Google search engine results pages.

Plus, we added support for BuddyPress and Google Web Stories. These tools allow you to boost your content discoverability and expand SEO opportunities beyond traditional blog posts and pages.

At AIOSEO, we continuously add new features that other SEO plugins don’t have. That’s because we actually use the plugin on all our websites, so we know what you need to grow your SEO rankings.

I highly recommend trying out AIOSEO if you want to boost your website’s rankings. You can get started with the free plugin as well.

Acquisitions and Investments

In 2024, we made some great new acquisitions and investments. Here are a few products that joined the WPBeginner family:

BuddyBoss is the best course and community platform for WordPress. I have been following BuddyBoss for the last few years and met the co-founder, Tom Chedaddi, at WordCamp Asia 2023. So, when he and the other co-founder, Michael, wanted to move on to a new chapter, I jumped at the opportunity to acquire BuddyBoss. Read the full story here.

AccessAlly is a powerful membership and LMS plugin that allows you to grow your website through online courses, coaching, and memberships. I welcomed this plugin and PopupAlly to the WPBeginner Growth Fund through Caseproof, which is another of my portfolio companies.

AdTribes is the best WooCommerce product feeds plugin. It was acquired by Rymera, one of our Growth Fund companies, and I am excited to see how it will continue to grow.

Apart from the companies above, we also invested in:

• Automattic (the company behind WordPress.com, WooCommerce, and more)
• Somewhere.com for finding top overseas talent for your business

The post Best of Best WordPress Tutorials of 2024 on WPBeginner first appeared on WPBeginner.

However, finding the right Mapbox plugin can be challenging. Some tools are complicated to set up, while others lack customization options or may slow down your site. After years of helping WordPress users, we understand how frustrating it can be to sift through options that don’t meet your needs.

That’s why we’ve done the research to find Mapbox plugins that are both user-friendly and feature-rich. And we found a few plugins, including WPForms and Mapster WP Map, that are perfect for boosting your site with visually appealing and responsive maps.

In this article, we will share our top Mapbox plugin picks so you can choose the best one for your needs.

An Overview of the Best Mapbox Plugins for WordPress

No time to read? Check out our overview of the best Mapbox plugins for WordPress.

What Is Mapbox? Why Should I Use It?

Mapbox is a powerful mapping platform that allows developers to create custom maps tailored to their specific needs. It provides a range of tools and APIs to help users design interactive maps with unique styles, data visualizations, and features.

With Mapbox, you can easily integrate maps into your website or app, enhancing the user experience and making data more accessible.

For example, a powerful and personalized mapping feature can be handy for an eCommerce store with lots of physical locations or a travel website that shares different trails.

One of the main benefits of using Mapbox is its flexibility.

Unlike many other mapping or locator tools, Mapbox offers extensive customization options. You can personalize the appearance of your maps, choose different styles, and add layers of relevant information. This way, your maps can better match your site.

This level of customization can help your business stand out and provide users with a more engaging experience.

Additionally, Mapbox excels in handling large datasets. If your project requires extensive data visualization, Mapbox can efficiently manage and display it without sacrificing your site performance.

This makes it an excellent choice for websites and applications in subject areas like logistics, urban planning, real estate, and data analytics.

Mapbox vs. Google Maps

When considering mapping options, many users naturally compare Mapbox with Google Maps. While both platforms offer robust mapping services, they cater to different needs and preferences.

Generally, Mapbox is ideal for users who want customizable maps that reflect their brand. It offers advanced tools for interactive features, data visualization, and real-time updates.

On the other hand, Google Maps is best for everyday users and businesses that need reliable mapping services. It has accurate location data, street view images, and easy navigation for route planning and finding local businesses.

Here’s a closer look at what sets them apart:

• Customization. Mapbox shines in terms of customization. Users can design their maps from the ground up, adjusting colors, fonts, and icons to match their brand. Google Maps, while user-friendly, offers limited customization options, mostly focusing on standard styles and features.
• Data Visualization. Mapbox is particularly strong in data visualization. It allows developers to create unique visual representations of data directly on the map. For instance, if you need to display real-time data or complex datasets, Mapbox can handle it seamlessly. Google Maps also supports data overlay, but it may not be as intuitive for complex visualizations.
• Performance. Mapbox is built to handle heavy traffic and large datasets, making it suitable for applications that demand high performance. Users have reported that Mapbox performs well even with large amounts of data. Google Maps is reliable but may slow down when dealing with excessive data points or custom features.
• Cost. Both platforms have different pricing structures. Google Maps offers a pay-as-you-go model, which can add up quickly for high-traffic sites. Mapbox provides a tiered pricing model, often making it more cost-effective for businesses that need extensive map customization and higher usage limits.

When it comes to choosing the right Mapbox plugin for your WordPress site, there are several important factors to consider. We will go over these in the next section.

How We Test and Review WordPress Mapbox Plugins

We understand that not every Mapbox plugin is created equal, and the best choice depends on your specific needs. That’s why we took the time to thoroughly test each plugin, evaluating their features, performance, and ease of use.

Here’s a quick look at the factors we considered when picking the best Mapbox plugins:

• Ease of Use. A user-friendly Mapbox plugin is essential. So, we prioritized plugins that are easy to set up and manage directly from the WordPress dashboard. This will allow you to focus more on your content and less on the technicalities.
• Integration with Geolocation Services. We looked at how well plugins integrate with geolocation services. For example, WPForms has a Geolocation add-on, which offers autofill address features and simplifies location data collection. This integration can significantly improve the user experience.
• Customization Options. We favored plugins that allow you to tailor your maps to meet specific needs, such as adjusting colors, markers, or styles to align with your website’s branding.
• Responsive Features. Since lots of people use smart devices when accessing maps, we checked that each plugin supports mobile-friendly design.
• Pricing Structure. Finally, we considered the cost of each plugin in relation to its features. We highlighted free options and paid plans with additional functionalities so you can find a plugin that meets your needs without breaking the bank.

Now, here are the 4 best Mapbox plugins for your WordPress site.

1. WPForms

WPForms stands out as a powerful form builder with a Geolocation Addon that makes collecting geolocation data super simple. The addon integrates seamlessly with Mapbox.

At WPBeginner, we use WPForms for tons of different form-building tasks, and you can learn more about it in our complete WPForms review.

Now, the great thing about the WPForms Geolocation feature is that it can also be used independently without relying on third-party mapping APIs like Google Places or Mapbox.

This can be a big advantage if you are looking for increased flexibility.

That said, when testing out the tool, we integrated WPForms with Mapbox, and we noticed that this gives you access to lots of advanced functionalities.

We were impressed with how the address autofill capability automatically populates address details as individuals fill out forms, whether in dedicated address fields or single-line text fields.

We like how this speeds up the form-filling process and reduces the chances of errors. It certainly makes a difference in the overall user experience.

Another impressive option is the ability to embed interactive maps directly within forms. Visitors can easily pinpoint their precise addresses by dragging a pin across the map, and the address field will automatically adjust.

In our opinion, this creates a more engaging experience.

We also found that reviewing users’ geolocation details is easy. After someone submits a form, you can access their geolocation information through the ‘Entries’ page. These insights are incredibly useful for tailoring content and services based on user demographics.

Pros of WPForms:

• Easy collection of geolocation data
• Flexibility to use without third-party mapping APIs
• Address autofill feature improves user experience and reduces errors
• Interactive maps boost user engagement and completion rates
• Straightforward access to geolocation information after submissions

Cons of WPForms:

• Requires a Pro or Elite license since the free version and cheaper plans do not include the Geolocation addon with Mapbox integration

Pricing: To take advantage of the Mapbox integration features, users will need a WPForms Pro or Elite license, with pricing for the Pro plan set at $199.50 annually.

Why We Recommend the WPForms Plugin: Paired with its Geolocation Addon, WPForms makes it super easy to collect geolocation data with your WordPress forms. It integrates with Mapbox to streamline the process.

2. Mapster WP Maps

Mapster WP Maps is a flexible WordPress maps plugin that offers multiple integrations, including MapLibre, Google Maps, and, of course, Mapbox. This makes it a good option if you are unsure about Mapbox and want to try different mapping APIs on your WordPress site.

We have tested its features and found it to be a great option for those looking to easily create, edit, and embed maps directly from the WordPress backend.

When we first activated the plugin, we noticed that the interface looked rather simple. But, in reality, it has a bit of a learning curve.

That’s why we appreciated the ‘Mapster Help’ section at the top right corner, which offers a link to a quick tutorial.

The first thing we did was give our map a name and connect it to Mapbox using its access token.

We then found a ‘Map Tile Style’ menu below the field for entering the access token.

Here, we learned that Mapster WP Maps comes with lots of map styles, including those specific to Mapbox.

When we explored the left-hand panel, we were impressed by the number of customization options this plugin offers. That said, if you’re not patient, this can be a bit overwhelming.

For example, you can adjust your map’s initial view to fit features, manual center, or user location. Or, you can go to ‘Map Size’ and customize your map’s height and weight.

Additionally, the ‘Interactivity’ section lets you enable zoom on scroll and rotation or disable both.

Beyond the Mapbox maps, we also learned that Mapster WP Maps has more to offer.

If you look at the Maps menu items in the WordPress dashboard, you can see that the plugin lets you set up and embed locations. It also allows you to draw lines, which can be handy if you want to create routes or mark a territory.

When it comes to pricing, Mapster WP Maps offers both a free and a paid version. For most users, the free plugin is sufficient, providing essential features for creating and embedding Mapbox maps seamlessly in WordPress.

Pros of Mapster WP Maps:

• Multiple API integrations, including MapLibre, Google Maps, and Mapbox
• Various map tile styles, including those specific to Mapbox
• A wide range of map customization features
• Versatile mapping features with location pointers, lines, and polygons
• A free version is available

Cons of Mapster WP Maps:

• Potential learning curve – new users might need some time to familiarize themselves with all the customization options available

Pricing: Free version available. However, for more features, the paid plans start at $15.99 per month when billed annually.

Why We Recommend the Mapster WP Maps Plugin: Mapster WP Maps offers flexible integrations with several mapping APIs, including Mapbox. So, it can be a good choice if you want to test out multiple options. The plugin also gives you a wide range of features for different mapping needs. Plus, its free version provides essential functionality for most users.

3. Maps Marker Pro

Maps Marker Pro is the best Mapbox plugin for business owners, web designers, and marketers who want to create interactive maps with customizable markers and clusters.

We don’t use this tool on our own sites, but we have researched it extensively, and we think it deserves a spotlight.

One really cool feature we noticed is the ability to create clusters of markers. For example, if you bake and sell cookies, you can show customers where to buy your products by clustering stores in different parts of the city. They could easily find individual store locations within each cluster.

You can even add QR codes to your maps for use on packaging, making it easier for customers to find you.

We also learned that you can customize your icons and choose your base maps from options like Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Bing, Mapbox, or even custom Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) maps.

Furthermore, the plugin is fully responsive, so your maps will look great on any device.

Pros of Maps Marker Pro:

• Supports multiple mapping services, including Mapbox, Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, and Bing
• Customizable markers with over a thousand icon options
• Clustering markers, making it easier to display multiple locations
• Map QR codes generator
• Fully responsive design so your maps look good on all devices

Cons of Maps Marker Pro:

• The need for a slightly higher one-time license fee might be a drawback for budget-conscious users

Pricing: One-time fee with plans starting at €49. The good news is that there’s also a free trial.

Why We Recommend the Maps Marker Pro Plugin: It offers a powerful solution for creating interactive maps with customizable markers and the unique ability to cluster locations. While there is a one-time license fee, the free trial allows users to explore its features before committing.

4. Ultimate Maps

Ultimate Maps is a user-friendly WordPress maps plugin that provides seamless integration with Mapbox alongside alternatives like Bing Maps and Thunderforest. We found it to be a great choice for beginners looking to create interactive maps with ease.

We downloaded Ultimate Maps and tested it on our own demo sites, so we can vouch for it. During testing, we found that getting started with Ultimate Maps was really simple.

After obtaining a Mapbox API key, we set it up in the plugin’s settings, allowing us to create maps right from the WordPress backend. This streamlined process made it easy for us to get up and running quickly.

Once our maps were ready, we appreciated the flexibility in embedding them on our pages.

Ultimate Maps offers options to use shortcodes or the custom widget, making it simple to display maps wherever we need them on our site.

Pros Ultimate Maps:

• Simple setup process
• Seamless Integration with Mapbox, Bing Maps, and Thunderforest
• Flexible embedding options using shortcodes and custom widget

Cons of Ultimate Maps:

• Lack of advanced features

Pricing: Available for free.

Why We Recommend the Ultimate Maps Plugin: Ultimate Maps offers a straightforward and user-friendly experience for creating and embedding interactive maps. Plus, it integrates seamlessly with Mapbox. While it may lack some advanced features, the ease of use and free availability make it an excellent choice for beginners looking for a hassle-free mapping solution.

Bonus: More Map Plugins

If you’re looking to explore additional mapping options beyond Mapbox, we’ve made a brief list of other great plugins that can improve your WordPress site. These alternatives offer unique features and functionalities to meet your mapping needs.

MapPress 

MapPress is one of the most popular free Google Maps plugins, making it an excellent choice for users who want to integrate maps effortlessly into their WordPress sites.

When testing the plugin, we found that setting it up was a breeze. We were able to automatically embed the map before or after a post. Additionally, the shortcode feature lets you insert the map directly within the content, offering flexibility in how we display it on your site.

Pricing: For those looking for advanced features, MapPress Pro is available starting at $39 per year, but the free version is more than enough for most users.

WP Go Maps

WP Go Maps is a versatile, free Google Maps plugin that allows users to create interactive maps with ease.

We found it incredibly straightforward to enter an address, set markers, and get directions, all from within the WordPress dashboard. This functionality makes it perfect for anyone looking to improve their site using map features without any hassle.

One standout feature we appreciated was the map widget, which we could easily add to our site’s sidebar or any widget-ready area. Plus, we noticed that visitors could switch to street-view directly on our site, adding an extra layer of engagement without redirecting them elsewhere.

Pricing: While the free version is comprehensive enough for many users, those who want advanced capabilities can opt for the WP Go Maps Professional Edition, available for a one-time payment of $39.99.

Easy Google Maps 

Easy Google Maps is a user-friendly and free WordPress map plugin. It is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to showcase multiple points of interest on their site.

We found it very intuitive to use. You can add unlimited map markers, locations, and descriptions directly from the WordPress dashboard.

The live builder was also particularly helpful. We could search for coordinates or locations while adding markers. Once we created our maps, embedding them on our WordPress pages, posts, template files, and widgets was easy using simple shortcodes.

Pricing: While the free version offers plenty of functionality, users looking for more advanced features can opt for the pro version, with plans starting at $49 per year for a single site license.

What Is the Best Mapbox Plugin for WordPress?

There aren’t many options available currently for integrating Mapbox into your WordPress site, but WPForms and Mapster WP Maps are two excellent options.

WPForms stands out as a powerful form builder with a Geolocation Addon. This addon makes it easy to collect geolocation data without relying on third-party mapping APIs like Google Places or Mapbox.

That said, when integrated with Mapbox, the plugin offers address autofill, which speeds up form-filling and reduces errors. Users can also easily pinpoint their locations by dragging a pin on an embedded interactive map, with the address field adjusting automatically.

On the other hand, Mapster WP Maps shines with its multiple API integrations, including MapLibre, Google Maps, and Mapbox.

This plugin provides a wide array of customizable map styles and interactive features, making it easy to create engaging maps. Users can add markers, draw lines, and even embed locations.

How We Test and Review WordPress Square Plugins

Our goal is to give you honest, practical advice based on real-world testing. This is especially important when it comes to using a plugin for accepting payments, since this can affect your online business in a big way.

We’re sharing what worked for us and what didn’t, just like we would if we were recommending a plugin to a friend.

Because of that, we kept in mind a few key questions to guide our review:

• Is it simple to set up and use? We checked if the Square plugin has a user-friendly interface and clear instructions. We know how frustrating it can be when a plugin is hard to figure out, so we paid close attention to this.
• What can the plugin do, and how well does it do it? We looked for features that can help your business grow. We tried out everything from basic payment forms to advanced inventory management while making a note of standout features and any big gaps.
• Does the plugin work consistently? We only included up-to-date and well-maintained plugins. We also looked at user reviews to see if others had good or bad experiences.

1. WPForms

We’ve been using WPForms on our websites for years, and it’s our go-to solution for easily creating any type of form, including payment forms with a Square integration.

You can learn more about our overall experience with the plugin in our comprehensive WPForms review.

WPForms has been around for almost a decade, yet we are still impressed by how easy it is to set up. The Square addon lets you easily connect your WordPress site with your Square account.

Then, you can simply use the Square field in your form so that users with an account can easily enter their credit card details. Once the user completes the form, Square will process the transaction. We had a functional payment form up and running in less than 10 minutes.

We really appreciate the dozens of pre-built payment templates available to choose from. You can quickly create any type of form for your Square payments, from shirt orders and eBook downloads to membership signups.

However, it’s worth noting that the Square addon is only available in the paid versions. While the free version (WPForms Lite) is great for basic forms, you’ll need to upgrade for Square integration.

Pros of WPForms:

• Intuitive drag-and-drop form builder
• Over 2000 ready-to-use templates, including online order forms
• Seamless Square integration
• Spam protection features for contact forms
• Dozens of email marketing and CRM integrations to capture leads

Cons of WPForms:

• The Square addon is not available in the free version
• Some advanced features might be overkill for simple payment needs

Pricing: To use WPForms with the Square addon, you will need the Pro plan, which costs $199.50 per year. That being said, you can use our WPForms coupon code to get a 50% discount.

Why we recommend WPForms: In our experience running online businesses, we’ve found that versatility is key. WPForms offers not just a Square integration but a complete form solution that can grow with your business.

2. Square for WooCommerce

If you run an online store with WooCommerce, you’ll be happy to know that there is a free WooCommerce Square extension that you can use right away. This extension allows you to accept payments both online and in person, which we’ve found particularly useful for businesses that operate in multiple channels.

The best part? Customers can complete their purchases without being redirected to another page.

Another feature we appreciate is that customers have the ability to securely save their payment methods in your online store. We’ve seen this type of feature reduce friction and encourage repeat purchases.

Another standout feature is the automatic inventory sync between WooCommerce and Square. When we added or updated products in WooCommerce, they were automatically updated in Square as well to prevent inventory mismanagement.

One thing to consider is that WooCommerce can be too much if you’re simply looking to integrate Square payments on your business site. It requires setting up an entire eCommerce platform, which may be unnecessary for those who don’t need a full online store.

Pros of Square for WooCommerce:

• The Square addon is free to download
• Seamless integration for selling physical products online
• Automatic inventory syncing between WooCommerce and Square
• Offers multiple payment gateway options

Cons of Square for WooCommerce:

• It may be unnecessary if you aren’t looking to set up a full-fledged online store

Pricing: The Square for WooCommerce extension and the WooCommerce plugin are free.

Why we recommend Square for WooCommerce: WooCommerce with the Square add-on is great for online stores. It lets you take Square payments on your website and in person, sync your inventory, and let customers save their payment information. This makes running your store easier.

3. Charitable

We’ve been using Charitable on our Balkhi Foundation website to accept donations, and it’s been a game-changer for our fundraising efforts. In addition to accepting Square payments and other payment processors, it allows you to set up beautiful donation campaigns with recurring donations, peer-to-peer fundraising, and more.

If you have time to read more than our brief analysis here, feel free to check out our complete Charitable review.

Charitable is more than just a donation plugin. It’s a complete fundraising solution. We loved how easy it was to create our first campaign. The interface is intuitive, and we had our donation forms up and running in no time.

The Square integration is another standout. We’ve found that donors appreciate being able to make their contributions directly on our site without being redirected elsewhere. This seamless checkout experience can significantly improve your donation rates.

The payment form also uses a dedicated integrated card field from Square, which is designed to blend with your other donation form fields. Overall, it provides a secure, user-friendly way for your nonprofit to accept credit card donations.

In addition, Charitable includes other unique features, like the ability to accept recurring donations. This automatically collects the funds from recurring donors, so you don’t have to continually send reminders.

All that said, keep in mind that this plugin is designed specifically for nonprofit sites. So, if you need to sell products that make a profit, you should look for a different solution.

Pros of Charitable:

• Easy to set up and use, even for non-technical users
• Plenty of pre-made templates, so you can create a nonprofit donation form for just about any type of cause
• Seamless Square integration for smooth on-site payments
• Comprehensive feature set, including recurring donations and peer-to-peer fundraising

Cons of Charitable:

• The free version of Charitable does not offer the Square addon, but you can still accept donations via PayPal and Stripe

Pricing: You will need a paid plan to use Charitable and its Square addon, which costs from $69 to $299 per year.

Why we recommend Charitable: From its ease of use to its donation features, our experience with Charitable has been overwhelmingly positive. For any nonprofit or cause-based organization using WordPress, we believe Charitable is one of the best options.

4. MemberPress Square

MemberPress is a powerful WordPress membership plugin. While we use it to offer free WordPress courses, you can also integrate it with various payment gateways to monetize your website. For example, with MemberPress Square (by APIExperts), you can start accepting Square payments on your membership website.

All online orders processed through MemberPress are automatically tracked, with funds going directly to your Square account. You can view a log of Square transactions on your website, making it easy to track income and manage memberships.

You can also handle refunds within the WordPress dashboard, which automatically adjusts the transaction in Square.

One thing we love about this addon is that it can accept payments with Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH (including with Gift Cards) Afterpay, and Cash App. Plus, it supports recurring payments for subscriptions, which is important for membership websites.

The only con we can think of is that there is no free version of the plugin and the addon. So on top of the MemberPress fees, you also need to pay for the MemberPress Square license.

You can learn more about the membership plugin in our MemberPress review.

Pros of MemberPress Square:

• Automatically tracks Square transactions in MemberPress
• Ability to handle refunds within the WordPress Dashboard
• Accepts various payment methods, from Apple Pay and Google Pay to Afterpay
• Recurring payment support for membership subscriptions
• Test mode to make sure the addon works well

Cons of MemberPress Square:

• MemberPress and MemberPress Square require paid licenses

Pricing: MemberPress itself costs between $179.50 to $399.50 per year, while the MemberPress Square addon is priced at $79 for one website license.

You can also use our MemberPress coupon code to get 50% off.

Why we recommend MemberPress Square: We picked MemberPress Square for its easy integration with Square, offering a wide range of payment options. It’s particularly useful for membership sites needing a versatile payment solution with recurring billing capabilities.

5. Formidable For Square Payment Gateway

Formidable Forms is a powerful WordPress form plugin that we use on some websites that require advanced form features. APIExperts.io offers a third-party Formidable for Square Payment Gateway integration to connect your forms with Square and accept payments.

After adding Square and setting it up in the plugin, you can easily add the Square field to your form. You can then customize it to enable payment methods like ACH Payment, Afterpay, and Cash App.

In your account, you can see detailed information about each transaction, including payment status. You can filter transactions by specific forms, which helps you analyze and manage them better.

You can easily check transaction details, see which payments are paid or unpaid, and keep track of your finances. We’ve found these features to be helpful for managing cash flow, identifying popular products or services, and quickly resolving any payment issues that may arise.

In our experience, advanced calculation is where Formidable Forms really shines. For example, you can use it to create online calculators for car dealerships or realtors.

For more information, check out our Formidable Forms review.

Pros of Formidable For Square Payment Gateway:

• Easy Square integration by adding the Square field to your forms
• Multiple payment methods, including ACH, Afterpay, and Cash App
• Reports that show your Square transaction details
• Powerful calculation fields for complex pricing scenarios

Cons of Formidable For Square Payment Gateway:

• There is no free version

Pricing: The Square integration is an additional purchase that costs $59 per year for one website. Meanwhile, Formidable Forms offers a free version with basic features. Paid plans range from $39.50 to $299.50 per year.

Why we recommend Formidable For Square Payment Gateway: We selected this plugin for its ability to create sophisticated Square payment forms and handle complex calculations. On top of that, you can view all your Square transactions easily on your WordPress admin.

6. GiveWP

GiveWP is a top-notch WordPress plugin for non-profits looking to raise funds online. It ranks third in our list of tip jar plugins, and for good reason. While it may not be as user-friendly as some other options, it offers powerful features for creating customizable donation forms that can accept Square payments and other payment methods.

With GiveWP, you can set up forms that allow donors to contribute to your cause and automatically generate donation tax receipts. This is particularly helpful for non-profits that need to provide proper documentation for their donors.

To accept Square donations, you’ll need to add the Square Gateway addon. This integration allows you to easily accept major credit card payments directly through your WordPress site and in person.

One feature we really appreciate is the fast next-day deposits. This means you can quickly access the funds and use them for your cause. The built-in fraud detection also adds an extra layer of security to your donations.

Pros of GiveWP:

• Fast next-day deposits with Square integration
• Comprehensive reporting for managing donations
• If you run an online store, you can add a one-click upsell for donations on the checkout screen

Cons of GiveWP:

• Square addon is an extra cost on top of the main plugin price
• Not as intuitive to use as some other donation plugins

Pricing: GiveWP comes in a free version and paid versions that start from $149 to $499 per year. The Square addon costs $79 per year.

Why we recommend GiveWP:  GiveWP stands out as a comprehensive donation platform that works well with Square payments. While it requires some investment, both in cost and learning curve, it offers the tools needed to run successful donation campaigns.

7. Gravity Forms

Gravity Forms is a powerful custom form builder plugin that ranks fourth on our list of contact form plugins, and it’s compatible with Square through a dedicated addon. It’s packed with advanced features, but keep in mind there’s no free version available.

That being said, they do have a built-in Square addon for Pro, Elite, and Nonprofit licenses, so you don’t have to pay for it separately. With this, you can accept both one-time payments and subscriptions. This is great for setting up recurring monthly payments on your site.

We really like the flexibility Gravity Forms offers with Square payments. For instance, you can authorize a payment but only withdraw the funds later, which is useful if you want to process payment after completing work or shipping a product. 

We also found it simple to process refunds directly in WordPress, which pulls money from your Square account and sends it back to your customers’ credit cards.

You can check out our comparison piece on WPForms vs. Gravity Forms vs. Formidable Forms for more information.

Pros of Gravity Forms:

• Built-in native Square addon at no extra cost
• Option to authorize and capture payments at a later date
• Visual form editor for easy drag-and-drop field placement
• Ability to handle both one-time and subscription payments

Cons of Gravity Forms:

• No free version is available, and you’ll need the two highest-paid plans to use Square

Pricing: The Square addon is available in the Elite and Pro Licenses, which cost $159 per year and $259 per year, respectively.

Why we recommend Gravity Forms: Despite not having a free version, Gravity Forms stands out for its seamless Square integration and flexibility in payment processing.

8. WP EasyPay

WP EasyPay is a dedicated payment form plugin for accepting Square payments in WordPress. We found its ‘Sandbox OAuth’ feature particularly impressive, as it allows you to connect to your Square account without manually copying credentials or tokens from the developer app.

Because of that, setting up Square payments is straightforward. You simply log into your Square account and open the Sandbox test account in another tab. Once done, you’re connected and ready to add Square as a payment option for your customers.

While WP EasyPay offers similar functionality to other form builders, it has a standout feature we really like. You can add multiple tabs to display products on your payment form, with options like prices and labels. Customers can then use these to add products, and the form will calculate the price automatically.

However, it’s worth noting that WP EasyPay is primarily focused on Square payments. This means it may not support as many payment methods as other platforms like Stripe. Businesses needing to accept payments from multiple providers might need additional plugins.

Pros of WP EasyPay:

• Dedicated Square payment plugin for WordPress
• Easy connection to Square account without manual API credential entry
• Includes a Gutenberg block for easy payment form display
• Payment forms with multiple product tabs to make it easy for customers to add products

Cons of WP EasyPay:

• Limited to Square payments, may require additional plugins for other payment methods

Pricing: Ranges from $59 for one website to $249 for fifteen websites.

Why we recommend WP EasyPay: WP EasyPay stands out for its focus on Square payments and user-friendly setup process. It’s a solid choice for businesses primarily using Square.

9. WP EasyCart

WP EasyCart is a WooCommerce alternative that provides a straightforward setup process for Square payments.

Simply select Square as your payment option, enable it, and log into your Square account to grant permissions. The process also allows you to enable digital wallets and choose your store location, giving you flexibility in payment options.

We like that the plugin comes with a product syncing system between Square and EasyCart, similar to WooCommerce. This keeps your inventory up-to-date across both platforms, which is crucial for businesses managing both online and in-store sales.

While WP EasyCart is available for free, it’s important to note that the free version includes a 2% application fee on top of Square fees. To avoid this additional charge, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan.

Pros of WP EasyCart:

• Native Square integration with automatic inventory syncing
• PCI compliance is handled by the WP EasyCart team
• Supports 30+ payment gateways
• Includes a convenient sales report visible throughout the plugin interface

Cons of WP EasyCart:

• Many advanced features and extensions require upgrading to a paid plan
• Fewer free extensions compared to WooCommerce

Pricing: A free version is available with a 2% application fee. To remove that fee, you can upgrade to a paid plan, which ranges from $69 to $89 per year.

Why we recommend WP EasyCart: WP EasyCart stands out for its seamless Square integration and comprehensive eCommerce features. It’s an excellent solution for businesses looking for an all-in-one eCommerce solution with strong Square support.
