OwnPay Roadmap

This roadmap shows where OwnPay is headed on the path from Public Beta v0.1.0 to a stable 1.0 and beyond. It's a living document - priorities shift with community feedback, and dates are intentionally avoided in favor of a quality-driven "ship when it's ready" approach.

Have an idea or a priority you care about? Open a discussion or feature request. The roadmap is shaped by the people who run OwnPay.

Legend: ✅ Shipped  ·  🚧 In Progress  ·  🔭 Planned


✅ Shipped - Public Beta v0.1.0

The foundation is live and self-hostable today:

  • ✅ Multi-brand (multi-store) architecture with full tenant isolation
  • ✅ 120+ payment gateway integrations (plugin-based)
  • ✅ Hosted checkout, payment links, invoices & payment intents
  • ✅ Refunds with atomic, balance-validated reversals
  • ✅ Double-entry ledger engine (bcmath precision)
  • ✅ White-label custom-domain checkout + per-brand theming
  • ✅ Sandboxed plugin/add-on system with a domain hook engine
  • ✅ REST API (merchant / mobile / admin) + webhooks
  • ✅ Mobile companion app foundation (device pairing, JWT, SMS verification)
  • ✅ Full internationalization (admin panel + customer checkout)
  • ✅ Staff RBAC - granular roles & permissions
  • ✅ Signed, atomic, rollback-safe self-update engine
  • ✅ Security hardening - AES-256-GCM PII, Argon2id, CSRF, CSP, rate limiting, SSRF guards
  • ✅ Quality gates - PHPStan level 9 + automated test suite

🚧 Now - Stabilizing the Beta (road to 1.0)

Our focus during the beta period:

  • 🚧 Real-world feedback loop - triaging issues from beta self-hosters
  • 🚧 Public live demo at demo.ownpay.org
  • 🚧 Expanded API documentation at docs.ownpay.org
  • 🚧 Guides & tutorials at learn.ownpay.org
  • 🚧 Hardening, edge-case validation, and performance tuning
  • 🚧 Broader gateway coverage and gateway-specific test coverage

🔭 Next - Toward 1.0 Stable

  • 🔭 1.0 stable release once the quality bar and feedback goals are met
  • 🔭 Plugin marketplace at plugin.ownpay.org - discover & install gateways and add-ons
  • 🔭 Mobile companion app general availability
  • 🔭 One-click / scripted deployment tooling (VPS provisioning, container images)
  • 🔭 Enhanced reporting, analytics & reconciliation dashboards
  • 🔭 Expanded webhook event catalog and developer SDKs

🌅 Later - Beyond 1.0

Longer-term directions we're excited about (subject to community demand):

  • 🌅 Marketplace ecosystem with third-party plugin publishing
  • 🌅 Additional regional payment methods & MFS coverage
  • 🌅 Advanced fraud/risk tooling and configurable rules
  • 🌅 Broader governance - a distributed maintainer team

A Note on Timing

OwnPay handles real money. We do not commit to calendar dates - features ship when they meet our security and quality bar, not before. Star and watch the repository to be notified the moment new releases drop, and follow blog.ownpay.org for release notes.

This document reflects current intentions, not promises. Anything here may change as we learn from the community.
