Adding a subscription product with the WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin

Before being able to bill someone regularly, we'll have to set up a product that has special subscription billing details. Subscription products are very similar to simple products and only take a few extra steps to set up.

Getting ready

You must have the WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin installed and activated on your website.

How to do it…

In order to add a subscription product with the help of WooCommerce Subscriptions, implement the following steps:

  1. From the WordPress admin, go to Products | Add New.
  2. Add a Product name and Description as you would for any other product.
  3. Scroll down to the Product Data panel and change the product type to Simple subscription. You'll see several new fields appear.

  4. For a subscription product, you must fill out the Subscription Price ($) field. The Sign-up Fee and Free Trial fields are optional. You can also change the billing period right next to the Subscription Price field.
  5. Click on the Publish button.

You can now see your subscription product on the frontend of your site.

There's more...

You'll notice that in addition to the Simple subscription product type, there is a Variable subscription product type. These work just like Variable Products, with the added subscription fields. If you have very similar subscriptions, it may be worth putting them all under one Variable subscription product type to save space in your store.
