WooPayments supports selling subscription products. Unlike other payment gateways, which require the use of the Subscriptions extension, WooPayments offers built-in subscriptions functionality that can be used without any other plugin.
Our overview document explains the requirements you must meet to use subscriptions, how to set up subscription products, and other such basics.
Comparison to the Subscriptions extension
The standalone Subscriptions extension is one of our most popular extensions. If you’re wondering how it compares to the subscriptions functionality built into WooPayments, we have a document that outlines the differences.
Also note that many extensions which are intended to work with Subscriptions will also work with the WooPayments subscriptions functionality.
