For those of us that ship physical products, having all of the subscriptions for a day print out prior to us showing up for work is pretty essential. Right now, we manually adjust every subscription so that it will renew on whatever day of the month people sign up, but then we adjust the hour to be in the 5:00am range. This way we can prepare shipments early instead of waiting for them to come in at whatever hour of the day the user originally signed up.
Having an option to set this time in settings would be amazingly helpful.

Hi there,
Thank you for your suggestion!
Great news! There are already several ways to achieve this with WooCommerce Subscriptions (as of version 8.7.1):
– **Synchronized Renewals** can align all subscribers to the same renewal date and time. Synchronized renewals are scheduled to run at 3:00 AM in your site’s timezone — on stores with many subscriptions, some may process a little later (e.g. 4:00 AM). More details: https://woocommerce.com/document/subscriptions/renewal-synchronisation/
– You can also **manually adjust the Next Payment date and time** on individual subscriptions. By default, next payment dates are scheduled based on the most recent successful payment, so they will naturally spread through the day over time.
– The free **Preserve Billing Schedule** plugin prevents next payment times from drifting: https://github.com/Prospress/woocommerce-subscriptions-preserve-billing-schedule
– **AutomateWoo** (automatewoo.com) can automate editing the Next Payment date/time as soon as a new subscription is created.
Our support team is also happy to help you find the best approach for your store at https://woocommerce.com/contact-us/
Therefore, I am marking this request as completed.
