Not quite working with Woo Gift subscriptions

  • Hi,
    So we have a gift subscription that we’ve set up as well as a regular subscription.

    We then also have products that can only be bought if someone owns or has in their cart a subscription.

    For the regular subscription, everything works fine.

    For the gifted subscription, the account that purchased the gift subscription can purchase the products BUT the account that received the gifted subscription can not.

    We need to allow the recipient of the gifted sub to also be allowed to purchase the products.

    I have tried having the products that they should be allowed to purchase set to either ownership or purchase in the categories the products are in as well as either ownership or purchase of the specific subscription product listings. Neither work.

    How do we accomplish this and thanks!

    Hey there @mlotorocks,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    On our side, we do not currently maintain an integration with Gifting for WooCommerce Subscriptions to ensure that people who receive a Subscription as a gift are the owners of the Subscription product.

    The ‘Ownership’ dependency works by parsing all orders made by the current customer and checking if one of these orders includes the dependent product. In the Scenario you describe the dependent product will exist in the orders of the customer who purchased the Subscription product and not in the orders of the customer who received it.

    One workaround for this case would be to manually create a “dummy” WooCommerce order for the customer who received the Subscription as a gift that includes this Subscription product.

    Alternatively, you can also write custom code that evaluates the “Ownership” rule by checking both Orders and Subscriptions. If you intend to proceed with this, then it is a good idea to hire a Developer to help you. For WordPress/WooCommerce customizations, we highly recommend https://codeable.io/.

    Let me know how you decide to proceed with this!

    Cheers,
