Über dieses Produkt

Turn your WooCommerce store into a recurring-revenue business without surrendering your data to a hosted SaaS. WooCommerce Subscriptions & Recurring Billing is a build-to-order plugin: ECOSIRE designs, codes, installs and supports it directly on your WordPress site, so your subscription products, customers and renewal schedules live in your own database under your control.

The plugin registers a shop_subscription custom post type alongside your orders and ties renewals to a hardened WP-Cron scheduler (with a recommended real system-cron trigger via wp-cron.php so renewals fire on low-traffic stores). It is engineered for HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage / custom order tables), so it scales past the legacy wp_posts order model.

You get recurring billing across multiple intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, annual), free and paid trials, and sign-up fees. When a renewal card fails, the dunning engine runs a configurable retry schedule with branded recovery emails fired through WooCommerce's WC_Email system and standard WordPress hooks. Customers manage everything from a My Account → Subscriptions endpoint: pause, resume, upgrade, downgrade or cancel, with proration and mid-cycle plan switching handled automatically.

Recurring charges are taken via gateway tokenization — Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.Net and other token-capable gateways — so card data never touches your server and renewals are PCI-friendly. Everything is exposed through clean WordPress actions and filters and the WooCommerce REST API, and we build with WPML and multisite compatibility where your store needs it.

Because it is built to order, scope, gateway choices and edge cases are confirmed with you up front — then delivered, installed and supported. This is not an instant marketplace download; it is a tailored engine with a clear lead time and a human behind it.

Häufig gestellte Fragen zu WooCommerce Subscriptions & Recurring Billing

How long does delivery take, and how is it installed?

This is a build-to-order plugin, not an instant download. After a short scoping call to confirm your gateways, billing intervals and edge cases, typical delivery is around 2 to 4 weeks depending on complexity. ECOSIRE then installs and configures it directly on your WordPress site (or a staging copy first), tests renewals end to end, and hands it over working. You receive the plugin files on your own server.

What ongoing support and updates do I get after launch?

Every build includes a defined post-launch support window for bug fixes and compatibility help. Because the plugin runs on your site, we also keep it aligned with WooCommerce and WordPress updates (including HPOS changes) during that window. Extended support and maintenance retainers are available afterward so renewals keep firing as WooCommerce evolves.

Which payment gateways support automatic renewals?

Any gateway that supports tokenization and off-session charging — commonly Stripe, PayPal and Authorize.Net. We wire the chosen gateway's token vault so renewal payments run without storing raw card data on your server, keeping the flow PCI-friendly. We confirm your specific gateway during scoping before building.

Is it compatible with HPOS and my existing theme and plugins?

Yes. The plugin is built for High-Performance Order Storage (custom order tables) and follows WooCommerce template and hook conventions so it works with standard themes. During scoping we review your active plugins (and WPML or multisite if used) to flag and resolve conflicts before delivery.

How do customers manage their own subscriptions?

A dedicated Subscriptions area is added under WooCommerce My Account where customers can pause, resume, upgrade, downgrade or cancel, and update their saved payment method. Plan switches apply proration automatically, which cuts down on support tickets and manual admin work in wp-admin.

Will renewals fire reliably on a low-traffic store?

Renewals are scheduled through WP-Cron, which depends on site traffic to trigger. For stores with low or uneven traffic we recommend and help configure a real system cron job that hits wp-cron.php on a fixed schedule, so renewal charges and dunning retries run on time regardless of visitor activity.
