Which products can use recurring plans?

YITH WooCommerce Subscription Premium lets stores sell physical, simple, virtual, and downloadable products through subscriptions. It also supports recurring offers such as training, memberships, consulting, coaching, and hosting. Set a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or other selected payment schedule. Product variations can carry different subscription plans and pricing.

Customers can review subscription information in the My Account area. Store managers can manage subscription conditions and payment-related statuses through WooCommerce.

What determines billing dates and payment status?

You can set a trial period before a customer subscribes, add a sign-up fee, and synchronize payments to a chosen weekday or day of the month or year. For example, monthly payments can be aligned with the first day of each month.

Status changes can follow order and payment events: a subscription can be canceled when its associated order is canceled, or suspended when a periodic payment fails. With Stripe or PayPal, it can be set to the Canceled status after three failed payment attempts. You can also delay automatic status changes for active, overdue, and suspended subscriptions by a selected number of hours. The payment workflows identify Stripe and PayPal; WooCommerce PayPal Payments is available for PayPal-based processing.

Which subscription changes can clients make?

• Renew Now: Users can force payment after the first failed attempt.
• Pause and resume: Allow customers to pause a subscription a specified number of times and resume it later. The expiration date updates when the subscription resumes.
• Access after expiration: Keep access to subscription content available while waiting for payment.
• Suspend access: Suspend access on the expiry date without deleting the subscription.
• Resubscribe: Let users resubscribe from My Account under the same conditions as the expired plan.

How do delivery schedules and boxes work?

For subscription deliveries, synchronize fulfillment to a selected day, such as a specific weekday or the first day of the month. Print a PDF list of shipping labels with delivery addresses, and charge shipping once during the subscription period through one-time shipping.

The Subscription Box module lets customers choose the quantities and types of products in a box, which can fit recurring bundles with customizable contents.

What do setup and compatibility depend on?

Install and activate the extension in a WooCommerce shop, then make a subscription product. Choose its recurring schedule, set any trial or sign-up fee, configure payment and status behavior, and review the customer-facing information in My Account. For delivery products, set shipping and synchronization rules before publishing the subscription offer.

Compatibility with every theme is not guaranteed. Themes developed according to WordPress and WooCommerce guidelines are generally compatible. YITH themes are continually updated and tested with YITH add-ons.
