Name Your Price: Subscription plans

Note:

Subscription plans are new in WooCommerce Subscriptions 9.0. They come from All Products for WooCommerce Subscriptions, which is now part of Subscriptions. On an older version of Subscriptions, you need the separate All Products extension for them.

With subscription plans, one Name Your Price product can be bought once or as a subscription, at an amount the customer chooses. Plans are a WooCommerce Subscriptions feature, set on the product’s Subscriptions tab. To set up a product that’s always a subscription instead, see Subscriptions.

Storewide or custom plans

  • Storewide plans are set up once and shared by every product that uses them. Add them under WooCommerce > Settings > Subscriptions > Storewide subscription plans.
  • Custom plans belong to one product and replace the storewide plans for that product.

Add plans to a product

On a variable product, the plans apply to every variation. The customer picks a variation, enters an amount, and chooses how to buy.

What the customer sees

↑ Back to top

The customer chooses One-time purchase or Subscribe, then enters their amount.

  • The amount they enter is what recurs.
  • The option reads Subscribe every month, without an amount, because the customer sets it.
  • If they change the amount from the cart with Edit amount, the plan they chose is kept.

Note:

Plan discounts don’t apply. A discount on a plan doesn’t change a Name Your Price amount. The customer pays what they enter.

Sell as a subscription only

↑ Back to top

To sell the product only as a subscription, with no one-time option:

  1. Open the product’s Subscriptions tab and set up its plans under Purchase options, as described above.
  2. Under One-time purchases, untick Customers can buy this product without subscribing.
  3. Click Update.
Left: the Subscriptions tab of Strawberry Soda with weekly and monthly plans, and Customers can buy this product without subscribing unticked. Right: the product page asking the customer to choose a subscription plan, with Every week selected

The One-time purchase option is gone, so every purchase is a subscription. With more than one plan, customers choose how often from a list, for example Every week or Every month, then enter their amount. With a single plan there’s nothing to choose, so they just enter their amount.
