WooCommerce Subscriptions

by Woo
WooCommerce Subscriptions is a WooCommerce extension that lets customers subscribe to your products or services and pay on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis. It integrates with over 25 payment gateways for automatic recurring payments and supports automatic rebilling on failed subscription payments. Subscribers can manage their own plan — upgrading, downgrading, suspending, or canceling — and update their shipping address or payment method. It's a paid annual extension with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Extend Subscription Plugin to Include “Bill Upon Release” Option

Currently, the only options for subscription billing are based on intervals of set time (monthly, yearly etc). Would be great to have an option for subscribing to a set of products (in a singular category for instance) and billing for new products in that category once they are released/published.

    Hi there,

    Thanks so much for taking the time to share this.

    After reviewing, we’ve decided to close this one for now. It’s been open for a while without gathering broader demand from other users, and we aim to prioritize the features that will benefit the largest portion of our community.

    What you’re describing — billing customers when a new product is published — is closer to a pre-order model than a recurring subscription. The WooCommerce Pre-Orders extension may cover this use case. Our support team can also help you find the best approach at Contact us

    If this becomes a more widely-requested feature down the road, we’re always open to revisiting it.

    Thanks again for your suggestion!
