How Do I Transfer a WooCommerce Subscription?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:53 pm

When it comes to eCommerce, WooCommerce is one of the most popular platforms used by businesses. If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you might need to transfer a subscription from one customer to another. In this article, we’ll show you how to do just that.

There are a few reasons why you might need to transfer a subscription from one customer to another. For example, if a customer cancels their subscription and you want to give their spot to someone else, or if a customer upgrades their subscription and you need to move them to a different subscription level.

PRO TIP: If you are considering transferring a WooCommerce subscription, be aware that there are some potential risks involved. There is no guarantee that the new owner will be able to successfully activate and use the subscription, and there is a possibility that the subscription could be lost or canceled during the transfer process. Be sure to carefully consider all of these factors before proceeding.

Whatever the reason, transferring a WooCommerce subscription is easy to do. Here’s how:

  1. Log into your WooCommerce store. You’ll need to be an administrator in order to transfer a subscription.
  2. Go to the “Subscriptions” page. This page can be found in the WooCommerce menu on the left-hand side of the screen.
  3. Find the subscription you want to transfer. Click on the “View” button next to the subscription.
  4. Click on the “Transfer” button. This button is located at the top of the screen, next to the “Cancel” button.
  5. Enter the email address of the new customer. This is the person who you want to transfer the subscription to.
  6. (Optional) Enter a message.

    This message will be sent to the new customer along with an email notification about their new subscription.

  7. (Optional) Choose when to transfer the subscription. By default, the transfer will happen immediately. However, you can choose to delay it by selecting a date from the drop-down menu.
  8. (Optional) Set up auto-renewal. If you want the new customer’s subscription to automatically renew when it expires, select “Yes” from the drop-down menu. If not, select “No”.

The process for transferring a WooCommerce subscription is simple and straightforward. Just follow the steps outlined above and you’ll have your new customer set up in no time.
