WooCommerce Subscriptions

by  Woo
Let customers subscribe to your products or services and pay on a weekly, monthly or annual basis.

Subscriptions that ship on a different schedule to billing e.g. pay annually, ship monthly.

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.

    This Idea is very Important to our company!

  2. Agustin says:

    Please add this functionality.. It´s very useful for many business models.

    295 votes only in this thread. As development team says 150 votes guarantees they will make it I take it this is being done something about?

    I need to charge customers weekly but ship monthly or quarterly or half yearly or yearly

  5. mattmikulla says:

    Please integrate payment up front for multiple renewal cycles.

    We need to offer a year at a discount for a quarterly subscription but still need to generate the quarterly orders in our system for the customer and shipping.

  6. anonymous says:

    Yes, want this.

  7. anonymous says:

    Come on guys, 4 years and nothing?

  8. Richard Ellison says:

    This is so key for so many subscriptions. Is it really that difficult to add in a feature of ‘pay monthly receive quarterly’ for example??

  9. Mian Rashid says:

    I vote for this cos our subscription plan is shipping the product each month for 3 months than after 2 months for unlimited period…

    Any update from WooCommerce on this. This is desperately needed

    I need this feature too. We are a restaurant which sells weekly and monthly meal subscription.
    We need to deliver the food daily, but we will charge for the full period at the beginning of subscription.

  12. anonymous says:

    need this feature

  13. Chantal Edouard-Betsy says:

    Need this desperately!

  14. Guillermo Rodas says:

    Yes! I need this!

  15. Kyle H says:

    yes yes yes yes yes!

  16. Rich Mackey says:

    This really needs to be addressed. Been checking to see if it’s in 3.0 but it doesn’t appear to be. 🙁 You can fake it with a non-auto renewing variable product, but you can’t make it work AND make the subscription auto-renew.

    Desperately needed.

    I’m contemplating paying large sums to make this happen with a third-party developer. Seriously am in high need of this. Any feedback/timeline would be great.

    New to WooCommerce and disappointed this feature is not available. In addition to a monthly option, I would like to offer customers a lower price for locking in upfront payments of 3, 6 and 12 months. So for example, the customer is charged a lower price every 3 months, 6 months or 12 months, but they are still shipped the product every month. I assumed this would be a standard feature. An update on this feature would be great. Thanks.

    Still confused as to why this isn’t being commented on as a viable addition to the plugin by woocommerce devs. I sell a magazine subscription, which is of course a yearly subscription payment, but need to ship the magazine separately throughout the year. Definitely not alone in my need for this.

  20. anonymous says:

    I have my fulfillment using shipstation so they see the monthly orders come in from that dashboard. The current work around with the sign up fee might work operationally to have a new order come in each month but the customer facing part is confusing $sign up fee and $0/month for x months. We need to be able to have a product that sells for $x upfront with a subscription duration period that triggers a new order each month for x months.

  21. Miki says:

    Need this for sure

  22. Eniko says:

    This is the bread and butter of subscription boxes, you need to be able to offer a monthly, quaterly, 6 month and yearly subscription options. Check out Cratejoy, they do a nice job of this. I ended up setting up shipping classes to make sure that I can offer these with proper shipping charges, but I had to go to a flat rate for all of my shipping for this.

  23. Kate Raymond says:

    This seems like a pretty basic option to include. I want to offer a 12 month subscription, with options to pay monthly, 2-monthly or 3-monthly, to a product that is shipped weekly. Only weekly.

    There is high demand for this feature!

  24. anonymous says:

    I can’t believe this isn’t here yet. Why is Woocommerce silent on this clearly very popular issue?

  25. Jorge says:

    Please, add this feature!
