Features

Recurring revenue for WooCommerce

🔄

Subscription products

Mark simple or variable products as subscriptions under Product data → General. Variable products store config on parent; variations inherit.

  • Bill every N days, weeks, months, or years
  • Optional signup fee (one-time cart fee on first order)
  • Free trial period in days (delays first renewal)
  • Max active subscriptions per customer (per product)
📋

Subscription records (CPT)

Internal wow-subscription post type under WooCommerce → Wow Subscriptions. Admin status dropdown, activity log (200 entries), renewal tracking.

⏰

Scheduled renewals

Cron every 15 minutes processes up to 50 due subscriptions. Creates pending renewal orders; optional Customer Invoice email with payment link.

💳

Manual renewal payments

Customers pay renewal orders through normal WooCommerce checkout. No automatic off-session card capture — gateway-dependent.

👤

My Account

New Subscriptions menu. List view + detail view with status, next payment, renewals count, Pay now, and optional cancel.

🔐

Privacy / GDPR

WordPress personal data exporter and eraser. Exports title, status, next payment. Eraser unlinks user ID and sets anonymized flag.

⚠

Past-due & grace period

When renewal is due, subscription goes past-due and pending order is created. Configurable grace days (default 14) — subscriptions expire if still past-due with no pending order. 120-second lock prevents duplicate renewal orders.

Renewal flow

How billing works

Initial purchase

Customer buys subscription product. On payment complete, subscription record created with next payment date (trial + interval applied).

Renewal due

Cron detects due date. Pending renewal order created. Subscription status → past-due. Invoice email sent if enabled.

Customer pays

Customer uses Pay now link. On payment, next date recalculated, renewal count incremented, status → active.

Where are records stored?
Custom post type wow-subscription under WooCommerce → Wow Subscriptions in admin.
Can customers cancel?
Yes, when enabled in settings. POST handler with nonce and ownership verification on My Account detail page.
What developer hook exists?
wow_wsub_subscription_status_changed — fired when status changes via the subscription class.
