Subscription Management

Every subscription on your online store is managed from one place. See who is active and who is about to renew, then change a billing cycle, switch a plan or cancel on a customer’s behalf without leaving WordPress. Customers get the same subscription management tools in their account area, so most routine changes never reach your inbox.

Subscription management also covers the quieter side of recurring billing: activity logs for every subscription, renewal order history, and email notifications that fire automatically at each stage of the subscription lifecycle.

Recurring Billing & Payment Gateways

Recurring billing runs on a schedule you choose — daily, weekly, monthly or yearly — and charges automatically at the start of each cycle. Stripe and PayPal recurring payments are included in this free plugin , so credit card renewals are taken without anyone touching an order.

Stripe payments cover the usual credit card work on their own: cards are charged on schedule, failed payments are retried, and customers can update an expired credit card without your help. Further payment gateway options — Mollie, Razorpay and Xendit — are available in the Pro version, and Paddle recurring billing is supported through the separate WP SmartPay plugin.

Installment Payments

Not every product suits an ongoing subscription. Installment payments let a customer pay for a one-off purchase across a fixed number of charges, on whatever schedule you set, and the plugin stops billing automatically once the final payment clears. It is the same recurring billing engine, limited to a payment count you define.

This makes expensive items easier to sell on a small online store without adding a third-party financing service or a separate payment gateway.

Purchase Options and Layouts

A product that sells plans shows its options as cards a shopper can compare at a glance: each billing interval with its own price and saving, the regular price struck through, and a One-Time card beside them when you allow a one-off purchase. Choose how they look in Settings > Product page — stacked cards, a classic radio list, a dropdown, an accordion, a grid of tiles, a grid that leads with the saving, or a button row — and set the colours and corner radius with a live preview. Any product can use a layout of its own.

Each plan can add a tag ribbon such as “Most popular”, a list of benefits, and a “learn more” link or details panel. Themes can override every layout’s template, and developers can add layouts and content through filters.

Subscription Boxes (Pro)

The Boxes screen in the free plugin previews subscription boxes. The boxes themselves come with WPSubscription Pro: build-a-box and curated box products, a box price that follows its contents, a one-time box, “Add to a box” and “Frequently bought together” on item pages, a box contents list in the cart, customers editing their next box until it locks, editions planned ahead, and a pick list and shipments for packing.
