How Do I Add Monthly Subscription to WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 1:00 am

Adding a monthly subscription to WooCommerce is a great way to increase your recurring revenue. There are a few different ways to set up a subscription, but the most common method is to use a plugin like WooCommerce Subscriptions.

Once you have installed and activated the plugin, you’ll need to configure it for your site. The first thing you’ll need to do is create a subscription product. This can be done from the Products -> Add New page in your WordPress admin panel.

On the product page, scroll down to the Subscription Options section and select “Yes” for the Is this a subscription product? option.

You’ll then need to enter the price and billing cycle for the subscription. The price can be either a fixed amount or a percentage of the original price.

For example, if you have a product that costs $100 and you want to offer a 10% discount for subscribers, you would enter $10 as the price. You can also offer a free trial for your subscription by checking the Enable free trial checkbox.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to add a monthly subscription to your WooCommerce site, you should be aware of a few things. First, you will need to have a WooCommerce compatible theme installed and activated. Secondly, you will need to install and activate the WooCommerce Subscriptions extension. Once you have done that, you can follow the instructions in this article to set up your subscription products.

Once you’ve configured the subscription product, you’ll need to set up your payment gateway. WooCommerce Subscriptions supports all of the major payment gateways, so you’ll just need to install and activate the gateway plugin of your choice. For example, if you’re using PayPal for payments, you’ll need to install and activate the WooCommerce PayPal Gateway plugin.

After your payment gateway is set up, you’re ready to start selling subscriptions! When customers purchase a subscription product from your store, they’ll be automatically charged every month (or whatever billing cycle you’ve configured).

Overall, adding monthly subscriptions to WooCommerce is fairly straightforward. By using a plugin like WooCommerce Subscriptions, you can easily add recurring payments to your online store.
