Increase monthly recurring revenue!
I use WooCommerce Subscriptions for my own business and I help clients set up subscription products on their websites as well. Examples of subscriptions my clients and I use are monthly website maintenance and security, subscription-based membership programs, auto-ship products, coaching, retainers, directories, etc.
- Payment plans on higher-end products
- Monthly subscriptions or retainers
- Works well with WooCommerce members
- Perfect of group coaching and masterminds
- Better syncing to ActiveCampaign for renewal reminders
- Make it easier for clients to update their credit cards and have it automatically apply to all subscriptions
- Integration with WooCommerce Members
- Integration with LearnDash
- Integration with ActiveCampaign
- Smoothed out cashflow
- Added additional streams of income
- Gave me another tool to use to help my clients increase their revenue
Stripe subscriptions, PayPal subscriptions, LearnDash. I like that WooCommerce works with multiple payment processors and it makes it easy to remove people from a group or membership if they haven't paid that month.

Good subscriptions plugin for WooCommerce
WooCommerce Subscriptions powers a paid learning site for photographers. I needed a platform for processing regular subscription payments through my WordPress website that supported various subscription levels, renewal terms, coupons, etc. WooCommerce Subscriptions met these needs and helped launch our subscription website. It handles the registration, billing, and management of users and their subscriptions within our eCommerce store.
- Create and manage subscriptions on your WordPress website
- Connect with learning management systems for online courses
- Integrates with the rest of the WooCommerce suite
- The subscription pricing model is expensive, and may not work for low budget projects
- Integrations are good, but sometimes buggy or difficult to customize
- Creating a good user experience throughout the entire subscription workflow takes some time and energy
- Automated billing
- Stripe integration
- Multiple subscription tiers
- Increased recurring monthly/yearly revenue
- Decreased time spent managing billing and subscriptions manually
- Eliminated manual onboarding time, creating accounts by hand, etc.
We sell a print subscription and a digital subscription to our magazine. WooCommerce Subscriptions allowed us to ditch an antiquated fulfillment house (Palm Coast Data) that used to capture the transaction for our users and manage entitlements but didn't allow us the flexibility of design, tweaks, or split test landing pages or prices, install tracking code, or perform customer service in house. WooCommerce Subscriptions allowed us to properly monetize our WordPress based site without any overhead beyond the nominal yearly price of the plugin. It integrates with all sorts of WordPress plugins and actions, allowing for customizations that have allowed us to really control and optimize the user journey from first interaction all the way to checkout and service.
- Perfect native integration with the WordPress ecosystem.
- Zapier integration to support external integrations.
- Excellent support of coupons, free trials, reduced price trial periods, etc.
- Failed payment retries.
- Multiple payment gateway support.
- Analytics aren't as detailed and user friendly as they could be.
- Free trials are easy to implement but reduced price trials aren't.
- Gift subscriptions are only supported through a third party extension, leaving functionality to be desired.
- I haven't calculated it in exact numbers, but easily a huge ROI. The bigger the business, the bigger the ROI since WooCommerce is a flat fee every year ($140 or so) and there's no transaction fees or other variable costs, so the bigger the business, the better the ROI.
- It has enabled us to use paid media profitably and ditch tens of thousands of dollars a year of outdated services from our fulfillment house.
- Has really made it possible for us to run proper marketing.
- Stripe
It's just much better than simply using Stripe or other WordPress payment plugins that only rely on Stripe. We can incorporate non-Stripe supported payment gateways such as PayPal and Amazon Payments which support recurring payments. More options for the user means less friction at checkout. Also, everything is seamlessly integrated within WooCommerce and WordPress, which is our bread and butter, synchronizing all our customer service within a single CRM.
WooCommerce Subscriptions is being used by our organization to offer and manage subscriptions we have implemented this for the first time last year and has helped generate new revenue that we did not get before. It is used by sales and operations - sales sells and operations manages it. This is a great tool for organizations looking for additional revenue streams.
- Charging customers on a set time frame
- Ease of use
- Reports
- More options to charge customers over custom time frames
- Allow for more customization
- Integration with other tools
- More revenue, more reporting in less time.
I have not used other subscription platforms so it is difficult to say how WooCommerce Subscriptions stacks up against them. We selected WooCommerce Subscriptions because we moved our site over to the Word Press platform. It has been a great plugin and does exactly what we need it to do.

WooCommerce gives us the ability to charge customers on a recurring basis. We allow customers to pay for Care Package with all of the hearing aid supplies they need to clean and care for their hearing aids. We automatically charge the customer every 3 months and send the package. It is integrated with Salesforce so our shipping department sees these orders and ships them out.

The people the support Woo Commerce subscriptions have to have good attention to detail. Some skills that are required to help support WooCommerce Subscriptions in the most effective manner are Python, Debt Collection, Financial Analytics, a good eye to catch errors and make sure all subscriptions are being charged and shipped properly. We have 3 external developers that help with some more complicated integrations.
- Charging customers monthly
- Generating revenue
- Managing subscriptions
- Used it as a workaround for a private sale financing option - pay over time for your hearing aid
- 0% APR financing plan workaround
- Free Trial - charge at the end
Yes
Shopify Subscriptions, we replaced Shopify with WordPress and then needed to replace the subscription tools available.
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Vendor Reputation
The single most important factor in our decision was features and usability. It is important for a product to have strong features with ease of use. I find that some products have too many features and not a good usability design for the user. It is necessary for the features to be easy to use.
We can always evaluate and select products in more methodological manner. We have had to scramble to get new products in due to the nature of a fast paced changing business.
- Implemented in-house

I do not have an instance when Automattic provide us with exceptional support for the WooCommerce subscription product. Overall we found that most of our questions are answered in the documentation and instructions associated with the product so there has not been much need to work with Automattic.
- Updating subscriptions
- Reporting on subscription revenue
- Adding new subscriptions
- Extracting data - python required
- custom subscription intervals
