Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records HLX Donate version 1.2.2 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
HLX Donate adds a clean, single-page donation form to any post or page via the [hlx_donate] shortcode. Donors pick an amount, fill in their details, and (if WooCommerce is active) are sent through your normal WooCommerce checkout to pay with whatever gateway you already have configured — Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal, or any other WooCommerce-compatible processor.
Core features
One-page donation form, no page reload — quick amount pills, custom amount, one-time/monthly frequency
WooCommerce checkout integration for real payment collection — requires WooCommerce and a configured payment gateway
Automatic PDF donation certificate emailed to every donor, no external PDF library required
Certificate email delivery log, viewable from the admin dashboard
Donations list and analytics dashboard (today/this month/total raised, top donors, last 7 days)
Monthly donor reminder emails, sent automatically ~30 days after a monthly donation
Configurable FAQ section and “where funds go” allocation breakdown shown on the form
Optional social sharing icons (WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn)
Fully theme-able button color, currency symbol, and copy from the Settings screen
Roadmap
Planned for future releases: direct payment gateway integration without requiring WooCommerce, recurring/subscription billing, campaign goal progress bars, and CSV export of donor data. If you’d like to see a specific feature prioritized, please open a topic in the support forum.
