Subscriptions for WooCommerce Pro manages recurring payments, membership billing, recurring orders, and automatic renewals for WooCommerce stores. Merchants can create plans for physical goods, downloadable products, virtual offerings, and recurring services.

Possible uses include OTT platforms, gyms, milk services, online courses, subscription boxes, membership sites, SaaS businesses, and services billed weekly, monthly, or annually. Stores can also provide members with guides, eBooks, and audiobooks while restricting access for non-members.

Product type determines how subscription terms are set

Admins can create simple and variable subscription products. For a simple product, configure the billing interval, expiry, signup fee, and free trial. For a variable product, set subscription options for each applicable variation so customers can choose among the options configured for that product.

• Offer physical, downloadable, virtual, and recurring service products.
• Allow customers to add multiple quantities of a subscription product.
• Offer a one-time purchase option, so customers can pay a fee of their choice for a product instead of continuing with a subscription.

For curated products, the subscription box function lets customers choose and shop for their favorite items.

Payment options support renewals and failed-payment retries

The plugin works with Payfast, Amazon Pay Payment, WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway, and WPS Paypal Payment Gateway. It also provides automatic retries for failed recurring payments for a specific subscription plan.

Cancellation rules and email notices keep customers informed

Customers can cancel subscriptions at any time. A subscription is automatically canceled when its related order is canceled. Automated email notifications can be sent for cancellations, expirations, and renewal orders.

Store utilities provide subscription details and health information

A shortcode displays a subscription table anywhere on a website. The REST API provides subscription details, and error logs help track subscription-related issues. An AI subscription health widget displays subscription health information for performance tracking.

Setup follows the product structure

Use the multi-step setup to configure the subscription model. For a simple product, open it in the WooCommerce product area, enable the subscription option, then configure its billing interval, expiry, signup fee, and free trial. For a variable product, configure the subscription option for each applicable variation.

After setup, customers can purchase available subscription products through the store. Merchants can manage recurring orders, cancellations, renewal activity, subscription details, and subscription-related errors with the available tools.
