It is very common for companies to allow a customer to pay up front for a subscription and still receive the product monthly. It would be great to have this option in the subscription plug-in. Payment settings and how often the product ships should be separate settings.

A few months ago (or more) they implemented pending cancellation that helped us for this issue
‘@woocommerce, when is version 2.3 ready of WC subscriptions? In teh roadmap its been in active development for quite some time now and this will solve a lot of customers issues stated below as it will include a way to charge the full recurring payments for a synchronized subscription product at the time of sign-up
Just wanted to share a good news.
WooCommerce Pre-paid / Upfront payment plugin now supports shipping cost, synchronised renewals.
You can take the pre-paid period’s shipping cost along with the subscription cost. Example: If a customer pays 6 months upfront for a monthly subscription, you can take the 6 month’s shipping cost of the product as well.
Similarly, if you use synchronised renewals, woocommerce does not charge when customer purchases in a different date. If you implement upfront payment, then the customer will be charged upfront. When his upfront / pre-paid period ends, he will be returned to the normal billing cycle (to the synchronised renewal date).
Just google for “flycart woocommerce prepaid subscriptions”. I am not allowed to share a link here 😉
Hope the plugin helps you.
Twan, I tried the gifting subscription plugin and it was not ready for prime time. There are many issues. Primarily, it does not update the shipping address when the recipient adds it. It also doesn’t let you know when a subscription is a regular subscription or a gifted one. You would have to manually check each order one by one. That said, I’m not sure why you think those plugins would be a good substitute for the issues of having payments and recurring orders processed separately.
I am working on this extension.
Need suggestions.

We are selling a quarterly magazine with subscriptions for one year. The current implementation of the Subscriptions plugin simply doesn’t work for our use case.
Please separate billing cyle from shipping cycle and let us generate an order for each shiping cycle.
Thanks!
Please allow a custom shipping schedule that is not dependent on the renewal. Adding all these customers manually without order details is a pain.
A one-time payment with a monthly (or perhaps even semi-monthly in the case of consumable products dependent on freshness) subscription is highly important. I sell freshly roasted coffee, if someone purchases an annual subscription, I can’t send them a year’s worth of coffee at once, as the product would deteriorate far too quickly.
Please implement this solution as soon as possible!
Bumping up this feature request!
btw you can use subscription exporter in the meantime that way you get all active and pending cancellation subscriptions
but hope they add this
This feature would be a real asset to my company.
I sell my monthly box either monthly or 3,6 or 12 months prepaid.
Having to renew the order at 0.00 each month is painful.
Would be easier to just add a new shipment date and it automatically add a new number to the end of the subscription i.e #737.2 for box 2 and create a new order for it
This option is vital for our business model. We wish to offer several one-pay timeframe options for our customers (1 month, 3 months, 6 months,…), but we will be shipping to our active subscribers on a monthly basis. The fact that the price appears at “free /month” with a $210 “signup fee” is off-putting to a potential customer and simply does not look right. In the setup for a subscription product, we need to play with these options so that the product appears to the customer as just ‘$210 for 6 moths’.
I feel like I have been waiting for this feature forever! When will it be provided?
Yes please
Hi, I really need this feature. We sell organic produce and charge clients four weeks or for the entire season and ship weekly: This is absolutely a feature that is needed. I you want to take a look at your competition in Shopify search for “Recharge Payments”, they´ve had this feature for a long time.
