Pro Question:

If you have a Subscriptions for some kind of BookClub, and you want to ship different products (Issue Nr) on recurring Orders is there any way to do this ?

Example:
The Customer orders to a Superman Book Series Starting by Issue Nr1
The first order obviously will send the Nr. 1 (wich is the Prodcut that is the Default Prodcut associated with the Subscription)
When the Subscription is doing the next Recurring Order, the Order Item should be Issue Nr 2

Pro Question Advance (if there is a Solution to above Question)
Since Variations are kind of their own unique Subscritpions, i think Automate Woo can Trigger from specific Subscription Variations ?


A Guess for the solution would be something like to create kind of rules with AutomateWoo (for every possible Issue) e.g. :
- Triggered after "Subscription Renewal Payment Complete"
- Subscription Prodcut "Superman"
- Subscription Payment Count is X (i think i have to start with 2 here, when 1 would be the initial order)
- Remove Superman
- Add Superman Issue X

Hi Simon! Great video! Thank you for doing this. I just have a question. Can stripe process multiple subscription products in a single cart? Will it be able to renew the subscriptions even it has different dates?

[bang-bangtv]

One thing is fuzzy in my mind. If you're building a membership website and you want monthly payments, you have to use both Subscription for woocommerce and Membership for woocommerce ? or can you manage level of visibility with another plugin like dynamic contents for elementor and roles ? Can we dedicate a role per subscription type ? I'd like to avoid too many plugins but I need this to be robust and evolutive.

[Capie]

I can't find out how to make te subscription lengt custom.

For my webshop it is important that the customer can choose there own renewall dates. Example: Customer 1 needs the products every 2 weeks and customer 2 needs the product every monht, customer 3 needs it every 2 months.

What are the options for this?

Thanks in regards!

[shannanoel]

Thank you so much for your videos! They are AMAZINGLY helpful! I have a question for you! In the example of the soap company you've shared let's say they have the subscription for the soap but one month they want to add in the natural brush or dryer balls to their order. Are they able to do that? Or do they need to place a whole separate order and pay additional shipping? Or is there a way to combine them once they have placed that new ordeR?
THank you again!! Have a lovely day!

[ThomasMoralez]

How would you suggest implementing a cancellation fee for subscriptions?

[AndreFauth]

Great video!
I'm still confused on how to manage subscriptions. I have payments on-hold for a long time and their subscriptions don´t expire. How do you manage expired subscriptions? There's no video or content about that.

[talons]

Hi great info. Question I have 4 different plans, let’s say the starter plan. How do I add a radio or checkbox option to include a hosting subscription then click the button to go to checkout? Or would it be better to add the hosting subscription option at checkout and how to do that? This is my bottleneck.

[fabiennewintle]

Thanks for the video Simon. At 22.08 I see your install mentions 'Allow switching between subscription plans".
Is this extra functionality from a plugin or custom code perhaps?
I am trying to find out what the process would be to allow customers to change from one subscription product to another subscription product and if that is possible or if it is a new checkout and I need to manually work the pro-rata. Was hoping that this "allow switching between subscription plans" is what this could be. Many tahnks

[Christiandbist]

Hi, thanks for the informational videos. How can I set a product so that the customer commits to a 12 month subscription that is paid monthly (its a subscription box), and can only cancel it after the 12 months he committed to?

Hello Simon, thanks for your video! It's possible to pause a subscription during 2 months and then charge again the client without action from their part?
