Create your recurring income system with products and services sold on a subscription basis

Selling products on a subscription basis lets you get regular payments and monitor your income growth month by month.

This has become the most popular business model in recent years: users pay for a subscription – typically weekly, monthly, or annually – to use software, to access training courses, to read a magazine, to get unlimited access to an archive of useful resources (like the audio file library offered by Amazon Audible or sites with photos stocks) or to benefit from a hosting service. But this applies also to gyms, video games, libraries, consulting or coaching services, legal advisory, etc… It’s a winning business model that suits most of the products or services available for sale.

Thanks to the full integration with YITH WooCommerce Membership, you will be free to create subscriptions for online products and give exclusive access to those who purchase them, like video courses, monthly podcasts, etc.

The trial mode will let your customer access your products for free and for a limited time: you can ask them to register in your shop (an effective way to build a good mailing list) and increase conversions: it’s easier to push customers to buy after they could test the strengths of your product by themselves.

Additionally, the reminder system that is included in YITH WooCommerce Subscription will prompt your customers to activate or renew their subscription.

Automatic charges on renewal orders are available with the following payment methods: PayPal standard, YITH PayPal Braintree, YITH WooCommerce Stripe Premium, YITH WooCommerce Stripe Connect Premium, YITH PayPal Express Checkout for WooCommerce, YITH WooCommerce Account Funds Premium, WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway, WooCommerce Amazon Pay, WooCommerce eWay Gateway, WooCommerce Payments, and WooCommerce Redsys Gateway.

Use product variations to create different subscription plans

Use product variations to create unlimited subscription plans for your product or service and allow your users to easily upgrade and downgrade or switch from one plan to the other. You can set the conditions, for example, if a customer will need to pay the difference between the old and new subscription plan.

Allow users to switch, pause or cancel the subscription plan

Choose whether to let the user pause a subscription (set limits like the maximum number of pauses or the maximum number of paused days allowed before it automatically gets reactivated), to switch to another plan or to cancel a subscription right from their account.

Set a free trial period to create a list of customers and push them to buy later

A free trial period might be the most effective tool to encourage your users to subscribe and test your products or services for free: on the trial expiration, it will be easier for you to push them to buy and increase conversions.

Choose how to handle failed payments and when to suspend or cancel a subscription

Thanks to some advanced options, you can choose how to handle subscriptions with failed payments: set the number of days allowed before the subscription gets suspended and how long it can stay suspended before it gets canceled.

A wide range of e-mail notifications for admins and customers

The plugin allows sending different kinds of email notifications both to the admin and to the subscribers. For example, the user can be notified multiple times about the expiring subscription, the expired subscription, a failed payment or successful payment, if the subscription is getting suspended and so on.

Set a sign-up fee on your subscriptions

Choose whether to ask for a sign-up fee on your subscription-based products.

Two additional coupon types to apply discounts on the sign-up fee or on the recurring payment price

Create a coupon to offer your customers a discount on the sign-up fee or on the recurring fee.

A dashboard to easily track all subscriptions and subscription activities

Monitor the status of every subscription (start and end date, next payment date, payment amount etc.) from the built-in dashboard.

A Gutenberg block to easily create and show subscription modules in your shop

If you are using Gutenberg, you will be able to find the “Subscription plan” block and create custom forms in a couple of clicks to visually display your available subscription plans. You can customize colors, typography, add gradients, icons and much more.

Integration with YITH WooCommerce Membership

Integrate our Membership plugin and let your subscribers access to private contents and to sections with restricted access.

Integration with YITH WooCommerce Stripe

Stripe is one of the integrated payment gateways to let your customers join and renew a subscription plan automatically.

NEW

Synchronize all recurring payments to a specific day (of the week, of each month etc.)

Streamline the management of your store subscriptions by synchronizing all recurring payments to the same day (the first day of the month, every Monday and so on) and decide how to handle the first subscription payment: you can charge the user a prorated amount or postpone the payment of the total amount to the day selected in the synchronization options.

NEW

Export all the subscriptions to a CSV file

Do you want to download and print an overview of all the subscriptions of your store? Download the CSV file with all the subscription details in one click right from the dashboard.

NEW

Schedule the delivery of products linked to a subscription

Do your subscriptions involve scheduling the shipping of products (like a product box, a printed magazine etc.)? Take advantage of the dedicated Delivery Schedule option and decide if you want to sync all deliveries on the same day (ex. every Monday, every 1st day of the month and so on)

NEW

Print a list of PDF addresses to manage the shipping easily

If you sell subscription-based products that need to be shipped, you can download a list with your customers’ addresses into a PDF file and print the shipping labels in one click.

NEW

Monitor your subscriptions and income from the built-in dashboard

In the first page of the plugin settings, you will find a modern and powerful dashboard to monitor the most popular subscriptions, the net income, the monthly average income, the conversion percent rate from the free version, and much more.

NEW

Create a discount coupon that can be applied to recurring payments

The new “Subscription Recurring Discount” option allows you to offer your customers a discount on, for example, the first three months of their subscription.

NEW

Create an order and the related subscription manually and assign it to one of your users from the backend

One of your customers has decided to subscribe and you want to handle the subscription manually? Thanks to our plugin, you can create an order, assign it to the user and finally convert the order into a subscription to one of your products. This is also the easiest solution to manage payments in cash or prevent losing sales from those customers that would have trouble with subscribing by themselves (because of their age, lack of time, or non-familiarity with the e-commerce system, etc.).

    When you need support, they don't give you (even if you have paid Premium)I have been losing sales for almost 1 month and I have not received a response even by paying for the premium subscription. While it works... perfect, it is a pluggin that allows automatic payments, but it has caused a critical error on my website and then it does not allow payments to be processed. And the worst thing: no one answers you here.

    • Alessandra Giuliani

      Hi there,
      thank you for the review!
      We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with our service. We checked the ticket history and noticed that you opened several requests for the same issue and updated them before receiving our response. This, unfortunately, caused the ticket to lose the priority acquired since the system handles tickets by the order of the last response. We, therefore, recommend waiting for our developers' reply before updating, especially in urgent situations such as the issue you were experiencing.
      That said, our team has made the appropriate checks, the details of which you can find in their response to the ticket, which we encourage you to read if you have not already done so.
      We keep ourselves available to further help you, certain of your cooperation.
