Overview
↑ Back to topExtend – Subscriptions Add-On is a powerful extension for WooCommerce Subscriptions that lets you seamlessly add subscription options to either the Cart Page or Product Detail Page (PDP). This gives your customers the flexibility to subscribe to products without requiring you to create separate subscription-based products.
Instead of restructuring your entire product catalog, the Subscriptions Add-On works directly with your existing simple and variable products. This allows you to easily offer subscription functionality alongside your one-time purchases, streamlining management while providing more choices for your customers.
