Create Subscriptions / Recurring Payments in WooCommerce (FREE PLUGIN)

[@rex-stax]

thanks for the great tutorial. I appreciate that you come straight to the point without a long intro 👌

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thank you!

[@sueliwebpro]

Thank you. Straight to the point.

[@m-ar]

Great tutorial, Thanks, but I have a question, don't you need to set up a strip subscription plan too? as make it combined with that?

[@WadeMcMaster]

It all seems to be handled by the plugin from my experience. However I haven't used stripe a tonne with it. I'd check with wpswings.com directly to be certain, or download the free version and test it out

[@gelamegeneishvili130]

Thanks, Wade, super helpful!

[@chandanapradeep6251]

very good tutorial. is this not supported to 2checkout ?

[@WadeMcMaster]

It doesn't appear to on the payment gateway list sorry mate

[@mentalfix]

great tutorial, but I cant update the plug in, it keeps asking me to buy a license to get updates, and now the store stopped working, is the plug in not free any more?

[@WadeMcMaster]

It's still free in the WordPress repository. I'm not sure why that has happened sorry mate. What if you download the zip direct from the WordPress.org page and upload / replace the current plugin?

[@mentalfix]

@@WadeMcMaster Maybe I am using the wrong plug in, can you post a link to which one I should have installed?

[@WadeMcMaster]

No worries, this should be it: wordpress.org/plugins/subscriptions-for-woocommerce/

[@dang.erzone2688]

great video. Very helpful. Have you got another one on how to actually attach the product/service to it?

[@WadeMcMaster]

I see what you mean, like protected content or something like that? I would look for more complete solutions for that. Otherwise, I would tick 'virtual' for products that aren't existing in within the website itself (external memberships, coaching, etc).

[@osaznatotvorene]

Unfortunatellly I can`t find this plugin. Any other ideas? Tnx

[@WadeMcMaster]

That's odd. You can download it from here: wordpress.org/plugins/subscriptions-for-woocommerce/ then upload

[@osaznatotvorene]

@@WadeMcMaster thanks

[@fitzygolfpro]

Hi Wade. I set up the subscription on WooCommerce following your intstructions. When I click the Proceed To Check Out button I get a message saying you must be logged in to check out. Have you had this happen. There is no option to log in. Its great to hear a fellow Aussie on YT. Brian

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thank you man! Us Aussies need to get onto it haha. Unfortunately i havent had that issue, but the guys at wpswings, who made the plugin, may have some insight. Sorry i cant be more helpful mate :(

[@fitzygolfpro]

@@WadeMcMaster We do.indeed Wade. I have sent off a request and awaiting a reply. Thanks for replying. Brian

[@henryleestudio]

Yes in subscription plugin a customer needs to login first to place a subscription order. But you can enable the login over the checkout page directly from WooCommerce >> settings >>accounts & privacy >> enable to create an account on checkout as shown in the below image.

[@fitzygolfpro]

Please help me sir😭😭

[@BilalAlakrami]

Thanks for the tutorial. I just have one question, when clicking on view cart, it says page not found. How do I fix this issue?

[@WadeMcMaster]

It sounds like your cart page in WooCommerce is gone. In WooCommerce settings can you see if your cart page is linked up? Under 'Advanced'. You may need to republish or create a new cart page, link it up there and even potentially add the cart shortcode to that page if it doesn't show. [woocommerce_cart]

[@BilalAlakrami]

@@WadeMcMaster Thank you so much! It finally worked.

[@craciunator99]

any suggestions for creating variable product subscriptions?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Not sure sorry mate, maybe theres a another plugin but i cant say for sure.

[@FunLearningPiano]

Hi, Thank you for your video. I am a private piano teacher that run a small studio on my own. Is this plugin good for me to charge my students automatically?

[@WadeMcMaster]

I think it could be used that way, however I would think there are far simpler solutions out there.

[@Brett7183]

Great video! I’m a little new to website purchases and I was wondering how customers could cancel the subscription if they wanted too or how you could cancel it for you, thanks!

[@WadeMcMaster]

Customers can for sure. In their account area there's a subscription tab you can manage from there. Check out this part of the ifficial WP Swings video if you want to check: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4uyYYSVebljn80

[@umagongdi]

Hi, can I add this to bookings? Once my client books an online class payment is taken weekly until they cancel. Please help.

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thats a good question. I guess it depends on how the product is set up. If its a standard woocommerce product with added functionality to make the booking (with payment upfront) i dont see why it wouldnt work. Its quick to setup so id consider testing it out to be certain.

[@ehtashamshami6969]

what about local payment methods?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Not sure sorry mate, it's more an automated style of plugin for payment gateways.

[@successwithloraine]

Hi just tried this WP Swings and it would not activate on my WP site. WordPress and other plugins must be conflicting.

[@WadeMcMaster]

Could be, have you tried deactivating some temporarily to test? Could be theme too. Itherwise id message the wp swings team they may have some answers for you.

[@jakese7en1]

Could it be WooCommerce wasn't installed first? I noticed this behaviour when I installed the plugin.

[@kidsquizkitten]

how do i cancel subscription . i couldnt find it

[@WadeMcMaster]

I got this from the WP Swings site: Cancel Subscription Plan Both user and admin canceling subscription functionality are provided in the plugin. For admin, the steps are: Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins > Subscriptions for WooCommerce > Subscriptions Table Hover over the subscription plan you want to cancel. docs.wpswings.com/subscriptions-for-woocommerce/

[@arijit004u]

Can I have Clover payment plugin for subscription?

[@WadeMcMaster]

I don't think so, here's the list of compatible plugins I found: WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway (Support for the credit card, debit card, and Stripe SEPA Direct Debit) WooCommerce PayPal Standard WooCommerce PayPal Checkout Payment Gateway MultiSafepay plugin for WooCommerce Payment Plugins for Stripe WooCommerce WooCommerce Eway Gateway (Supported by in some countries only) Authorize.Net Payment Gateway For WooCommerce by Pledged Plugins WooCommerce Payment Method for subscription pro plugin Mollie Payments for WooCommerce (Support for credit card and debit card)

[@RajShekhorcoder]

Great. Keep it up please. Thanks Man

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thank you very much man!

[@drewn8818]

Is this an alternative to the Woocommerce subscriptions plug-in? (Or in addition to it?)

[@WadeMcMaster]

An alternative plugin, so different author

[@godswillodogwu7269]

I tried the plugin and it doesn't charge on next payment, which is the main purpose of it, why is that?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thats odd, im not sure why its.not working. Id contact wp swings about it

[@ethigreenz]

How do i use woocommerce payments instead of stripe or paypal? I have regular products as well on my website but need some subscription ones.

[@WadeMcMaster]

Not sure sorry mate, I'd hit up WP Swings to see if they can help.

[@aakashshelke5008]

When I try to make the payment using wps paypal gateway, it shows as unable to create order ? is it a problem with this plugin or the payment gateway as i cannot even change the payment gateway for this subscription plugin, it only accepts payment from wps paypal gateway...pls help

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thay sounds odd, a bit more than ibcould diagnose from here. Try sending amessage to wpswings they may have seen this before and have a better idea.

[@ASharpPhoto]

I want to create a subscription page to link to from the home page. Do you have a subscription template that you recommend?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Not particularly, whatever fits best with your site and allows you to showcase the benefits best

[@jennyfallon19]

Hi does this enable a product to be sold with a choice of one time purchase and subscription?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Sorry mate I'm not sure as I haven;t set up a product with both options - I don't think so but you could try (theres a free version) product variations maybe. Or consider emailing WP Swings to check.

[@lemaitreduciel]

Hi ! does it only work with Paypal and stripe ? or we can add a 3rd party payment gateway within Woocommerce ?

[@WadeMcMaster]

All are listed here: docs.wpswings.com/subscriptions-for-woocommerce-pro/?#woocommerce-payment-gateway-compatible I think you can do manual aswell

[@egeibrahim]

Doesn't work with dokan. You can only edit from the admin panel.

[@WadeMcMaster]

Sorry to hear mate :(

[@BaXiStA]

Hello, question? Once their subscription ends, if you have the enabled/disabled subscription checked does that mean that the users won't be automatically charged when the subscription is done or do they need to manually disable their own subscription?

[@WadeMcMaster]

I believe so, however let me double check!

[@BaXiStA]

@@WadeMcMaster Please come back to me once you confirmed it. Thank you very much!

[@WadeMcMaster]

Hey mate, one of the developers answered with this: "You can set the subscription expiration period in the product backend, then it will automatically expire the customer subscription as per the subscription expiration time period." So it does end the subscription.

[@BaXiStA]

@@WadeMcMaster Thank you so much!!

[@majidbinaziz5151]

well for automatically charged we must have their card detail. which i guess we don't have , so that's subscriber must enter his or her card detail to renew the membership . so this app is not that usefull

[@StephanBrown]

Does this allow subscribers to select their preferred payment method during checkout (for sites with multiple payment method options available in WooCommerce)?

[@StephanBrown]

Based on your video, it seems like it may. I'll check this plug-in and test it out!

[@WadeMcMaster]

Id definitely experiment, it may restrict to payment methods that support repeat payments.

[@StephanBrown]

I'm hoping not. We don't have such options in The Bahamas (unless we use a gateway that caters primarily to the US market, like Stripe).

[@AustrianTutorialHD]

Cheers mate! This is the best Subscription Plugin you know, right?

[@WadeMcMaster]

I havent done a thorough conparison, but it does seem to be a solid free option :)

[@sepsmusic]

Anyone know if this works with Learndash courses?

[@WadeMcMaster]

I have no idea sorry :(

[@sepsmusic]

@@WadeMcMaster Ok, no worries!

[@elyoussefimehdi8221]

i opened the link, ils not free as the videos title says

It is a free plugin with a premium version. I set it up on the video for free.

[@elyoussefimehdi8221]

@@WadeMcMaster nah mate it says Buy now, there aint no download Button :/

[@webgeneral]

@@elyoussefimehdi8221 Hi. You can just install the plugin from the WP repository and set it up as described in the video... it's free...

[@jfdd43]

I bought this plug in. I would avoid it at all costs. Code was buggy, and when I wrote to them for support they wanted my admin name and password. Sketchy af

[@WadeMcMaster]

Sorry to hear mate, it sucks when a paid plugin simply doesn't deliver. However, it is pretty normal to give a software site login credentials for support, but understand if you're not comfortable with that. This video is getting old too so it may have changed a bit since.

[@sabaskitchen7768]

Nice video

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thank you mate!

[@farazfrank]

That plugin allows you to create only ONE subscription plan. 😭😭😭

[@WadeMcMaster]

Double check the pro version, im not sure if it offers more.

[@jomuir2268]

create another product with a different plan and offer both products. thats what I did

[@MohamedSalah-jk7ku]

Thanks allot bro 🥹
