WooCommerce Subscriptions

With Woocommerce subscriptions we are able to automate reoccurring orders for our customers without the need for an external subscription management system. The software seamlessly integrated with out existing woocommerce store and payment gateway. The setup was very straightforward and since launching on our store it has become one of the primary online revenue streams.

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.

We use WooCommerce Subscriptions to manage and track our long term subscription orders for both retail and wholesale customers. It's an integral piece that we have slotted in specifically to manage some of our Wordpress tailored micro-websites where we offer a subscription model for our products. The plugin is easy to use by our sales staff, and pretty easy to work on in our IT department. We limit ourselves on how 'crazy' we get with customizing the plugin, though, due to complicating matters (updating code) when core updates come through on the plugin.

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.

We started using WooCommerce Subscriptions as a way to enhance our store offerings and better manage data month to month. We are a subscription box company and of the different options out there, this one seemed like the most cost-effective way to do what we wanted without giving up a significant portion of sales to an outside party. The learning curve is reasonable and there is a lot of documentation about how to set things up properly. There are some quirks in functionality and if you want to get very serious about a WooCommerce site, you can hire a developer, but I've found we can accomplish about 90% of what we are hoping for with this service.

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.

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.
