Subscriptions that follow the agreement.
Recurring products, including physical deliveries.
Configure monthly or annual plans. Renewals preserve the agreed product, shipping address, method, cost and taxes. Stock is checked before a new charge; paid physical orders stay ready for fulfillment.
Let customers preview their next schedule.
Offer the intervals you allow. Customers review the next date, following date and installment amount before confirming. Already paid history and the next payment date stay unchanged.
Start later. Finish on the agreed date.
Set a future first installment and a fixed final service date for virtual courses. Offer a separate ordinary pay-in-full product. This is a dated agreement, not a zero-price trial.

Ready to make it yours?
Choose your license View plans and pricing at the top of this page.Let customers adjust the schedule you allow.
Enable monthly choices such as one, two or three months. Customers preview the amount and next dates before confirming. The installment amount stays the same; paid history remains unchanged.
Start a course later. End it on a fixed date.
For simple virtual courses, collect authorization through a native saved payment method without charging at enrollment. The first installment is requested on the agreed date. A final date stops later renewals, with the final installment charged in full.
Offer a separate pay-in-full WooCommerce product for the same service period. Its price is set by the merchant; it creates no recurring mandate.

Your WooCommerce gateways. One subscription record.
Keep Stripe and PayPal configured in their existing WooCommerce plugins. Manage the recurring plan, paid periods and cancellation in Subscriptions.

Compatibility
Selected local checks; open the details for exact versions and limits.
Tested scenarios and limits
Tested scope, stated clearly.
The 1.0.0-beta.1 candidate has passed local service tests for Classic and Blocks order creation, Stripe 11.0.0, PayPal Payments 4.1.3, virtual products, physical deliveries, automatic renewal, payment recovery and cancellation. Provider responses are simulated in these local tests. Earlier protected-staging sandbox purchases proved Classic and Blocks checkout on previous candidates; this exact archive still requires its own staging acceptance.
This does not establish compatibility with every theme, WooCommerce extension, gateway version or live account. Contracts preserve the test/live mode selected in the installed gateway. New calendar and enrollment behavior is still undergoing final staging acceptance; no live-payment certification is claimed.

Astra and WPML: tests of 6 October 2026
Subscriptions 1.0.0-beta.1 passed selected product display and persistence checks on WordPress 7.1.2, WooCommerce 11.1.0, PHP 8.2.29, HPOS, Astra Free 4.14.0/Pro 4.13.10, WPML CMS and String Translation 5.1.0, and WooCommerce Multilingual 5.6.2. The configured monthly plan appeared; checkout without an eligible payment provider stayed closed as designed.
This does not qualify Stripe or PayPal purchase journeys, renewals, 3-D Secure, account flows or translated emails. Sales remain closed pending those checks. These selected local checks do not certify every theme module, translated custom field, currency, browser, builder or cache setup.
Elementor Free and Pro: 9 October 2026
The monthly-plan product preview was checked with Elementor active and through the Free Shortcode product path. The beta purchase guard kept the product unavailable without its qualified purchase configuration.
This is product-preview coexistence only. It does not qualify Elementor subscription checkout, Stripe/PayPal purchases, renewals or 3-D Secure; existing beta sales restrictions remain.
Checked with Elementor Free 4.3.4 and Pro 4.3.1 on WordPress 7.1.3, WooCommerce 11.1.0 and PHP 8.2.29.

Questions before you start.
Does it include a new payment gateway?
No. Subscriptions integrates with supported WooCommerce payment plugins. Accounts and credentials remain in WooCommerce payment settings. Only the verified Stripe and PayPal plugin versions are integrated. Test and live contract contexts are kept separate.
Can I sell physical products?
Yes, in the tested sandbox scope. The renewal preserves the original shipping method, address, cost and taxes. Stock is checked before a fresh charge; paid physical orders remain processing for fulfillment. Delivery tracking and a separate shipping calendar are not included.
Can customers cancel?
Customers can stop future renewals in My account → Subscriptions. Cancellation preserves the already paid period until its expiry; it does not issue an automatic refund.
What happens after a failed payment?
The customer can complete a supported Stripe authentication/recovery flow or approve a replacement PayPal payment after a confirmed instrument decline. Uncertain outcomes require reconciliation rather than another automatic charge. A recovery does not change future PayPal wallet terms.
Will my existing gateway work?
Not automatically. Current sandbox tests cover WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway 11.0.0 and WooCommerce PayPal Payments 4.1.3. PayPal requires a merchant account enabled for saved payment methods. Other providers and versions are not verified. Live-mode behavior has automated tests with simulated responses, not a real live-payment certification.
Are memberships and course calendars included?
Dated virtual courses now support a future first charge, a fixed final date and a separate ordinary WooCommerce pay-in-full product. Customers can change intervals only among the choices the merchant enabled for their purchase. Membership restrictions and LMS content access are not included.
Is there a free edition?
No free edition is planned for this launch. The controlled beta is Premium: $79 for the first year on 1 site, $179 on 5 sites or $379 on 25 sites, renewing at $99, $199 or $399 per year. We will reconsider a separate Free edition after the beta using support cost, activation and conversion data.
Can I use it in production today?
Not yet. The controlled beta can open only after this exact archive passes protected staging with real Stripe and PayPal sandbox purchases in Classic and Blocks checkout, plus hosted private delivery and update verification.
What was tested with Astra and WPML?
Selected local scenarios were run on WordPress 7.1.2, WooCommerce 11.1.0, PHP 8.2.29, HPOS, Astra Free 4.14.0/Pro 4.13.10, WPML CMS and String Translation 5.1.0, and WooCommerce Multilingual 5.6.2. Results differ by edition; the compatibility section above records the observed behavior, failures and untested paths.
