WooCommerce Subscriptions
WooCommerce Subscriptions is a paid WooCommerce extension for selling physical, virtual, downloadable, or service-based products on recurring schedules. It supports subscription plans, renewal management, customer account controls, failed-payment retries, and reporting, but payment behavior depends on the gateway configuration and supported renewal method.

Overview
WooCommerce Subscriptions fits stores that have an ongoing fulfillment, service, membership-billing, or software-payment model rather than one-time sales alone. Store owners can define recurring schedules, optional trials and sign-up fees, finite or ongoing terms, and synchronized renewal dates. The extension also supports offering one-time and recurring purchase choices where that model makes sense.
Create subscription plans for simple, variable, bundle, and composite products.
Set weekly, monthly, or annual billing schedules, including intervals between one and six periods.
Add free trials, sign-up fees, discounts, expiration limits, and synchronized billing dates.
Offer physical, virtual, downloadable, and service-based subscription products.
Allow customers to suspend, cancel, upgrade, downgrade, or cross-grade subscriptions from their account area.
Let customers update their shipping address and payment method for future renewals.
Process automatic recurring payments through supported payment gateways; manual renewal payments are also available through WooCommerce gateways.
Retry failed recurring payments when the failed-payment retry system is enabled.
Compatibility and setup context
- Requires WooCommerce; the official product page lists minimum requirements of WordPress 6.9, WooCommerce 10.9, and PHP 7.4 for the currently listed release.
- The official documentation states that the extension is compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
- The official product page states compatibility with WooCommerce Cart and Checkout blocks.
- The extension is compatible with WordPress Multisite, but extension subscriptions and subscriber accounts remain associated with their individual sites.
- Automatic recurring payment support varies by payment gateway, so the chosen gateway should be checked against the official compatibility guide before launch.
- Renewals, expirations, retries, and related events depend on scheduled actions; busy stores should verify scheduled-action processing and consider the documented dedicated-processing or web-cron options.
