YITH WooCommerce Subscription

Description

YITH WooCommerce Subscription is the complete solution to sell products or services with a subscription plan in your e-commerce, manage recurring payments and loyalize your customers.

Selling products on a subscription basis lets you get regular payments and monitor your income growth month by month.

This has become the most popular business model in recent years: users pay for a subscription – typically weekly, monthly, or annually – to use software, to access training courses, to read a magazine, to get unlimited access to an archive of useful resources (like the audio file library offered by Amazon Audible or sites with photos stocks) or to benefit from a hosting service. But this applies also to gyms, video games, libraries, consulting or coaching services, legal advisory, etc… It’s a winning business model that suits most of the products or services available for sale.

With this plugin you can easily create subscription products and get recurring payments in your WooCommerce shops.

FAQ

Is it compatible with all WordPress themes?

Compatibility with all themes is impossible, because they are too many, but generally if themes are developed according to WordPress and WooCommerce guidelines, YITH plugins are compatible with them.
Yet, we can grant compatibility with themes developed by YITH, because they are constantly updated and tested with our plugins. Sometimes, especially when new versions are released, it might only require some time for them to be all updated, but you can be sure that they will be tested and will be working in a few days.

Reviews

Efficient plugin. Complete and simple. Good support

DptoWebAV November 12, 2024

I’ve been using it for a short time but so far everything has gone perfectly. Easy to configure, it integrates very well with Woocommerce. It facilitates subscription sales and adds many informative emails to the native Woo ones. It also allows easy style and text modifications. The right and necessary functions to configure easily and quickly. I’m talking about the paid version. If you’re going to sell seriously, you need the premium version of the plugin. And I recommend it. Just one drawback. In the learning area, ??courses sales, it lacks native integrations and automations to communicate well with the most relevant plugins in the sector and that makes the sale a little less proactive. In the rest of sectors, business models, product types, etc… The plugin is excellent. In e-learning it is also valid, but if you are going to sell courses, make sure first if this plugin is the most suitable or you need Woo’s own, because you can find surprises. It will simply make course sellers work a little harder or depend on third-party plugins and special developments. And depending on the course sales engine you use, the interaction with the other is greater. But in everything else, for other types of stores and products… 10 points! And cheaper than its competition. The support is very good. Fast and very willing to help. Highly recommended.

Excelente!!!
