Paid newsletter subscriptions
Build a subscriber base.
Earn recurring revenue.
If you create high-quality email content as a business, independent writer, or thought-leader, you’ve probably considered charging readers for access to all or part of your content.
Make it happen today with WooCommerce.
Manage everything in one place
Manage your website, blog, customers, transactions, and email content all in one place. All the tools that you need live comfortably within WordPress and your WooCommerce store.
Increase your profits
Third-party subscription tools often charge a percentage of your total revenue, excluding the transaction costs from payment service providers. With WooCommerce, you can increase your profit as you scale.
Grow with powerful ecommerce tools
WooCommerce gives you powerful ecommerce functionality right out of the box, with the freedom to customize and extend as your business grows. Want to sell physical products, downloads, or content memberships? No problem.
What you’ll need to get started
The WordPress.com Business Plan is a great way to get a hosted WordPress website up and running without needing any technical expertise. It has everything you need to run a fully functioning WooCommerce store.
WooCommerce transforms your WordPress website into a powerful ecommerce store. You’ll also need WooPayments and WooCommerce Subscriptions to manage your subscribers and collect payments.
MailPoet pairs perfectly with WordPress and WooCommerce so that you can craft and send beautiful email content right from your WordPress website.
