How Do I Sell a Subscription in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 10:37 pm

If you’re looking to sell subscriptions on your WooCommerce store, you’re in luck! WooCommerce makes it easy to sell subscriptions, and there are a few different ways you can go about it.

First, you’ll need to install the WooCommerce Subscriptions extension. This will give you all the necessary tools to sell subscriptions on your site.

Once the extension is installed, you can start setting up your subscription products. To do this, go to the product page for the product you want to sell as a subscription and scroll down to the ‘Subscription Options’ section. Here, you can select how often the subscription will recur, as well as any other options like trial periods or sign-up fees.

PRO TIP: If you are selling a subscription in WooCommerce, it is important to make sure that you have the proper SSL certificate installed on your website. Without an SSL certificate, your customers’ credit card information could be at risk. Also, be sure to keep your subscription prices up to date, as WooCommerce will not automatically update them for you.

Once you’ve got your subscription products set up, it’s time to start selling! You can do this in a number of ways:

-Add a ‘Buy Now’ button to your product pages using the WooCommerce shortcodes.
-Use the WooCommerce Subscriptions widget to display your subscription products on your homepage or other widgetized areas of your site.
– showcase your subscription products in a dedicated section on your homepage, using the ‘Products’ block available in most WordPress themes.

Conclusion:

Setting up a subscription product in WooCommerce is easy and only requires a few steps. With the WooCommerce Subscriptions extension installed, simply create a new product or edit an existing one, scroll down to the ‘Subscription Options’ section and select your preferences. Choose how often the subscription will recur, set up any trial periods or sign-up fees, then start selling via ‘Buy Now’ buttons, widgets or by showcaseing products in a dedicated section on your homepage.
