Find Out More About WooCommerce Subscriptions Plugin
WooCommerce Subscriptions Plugin allows you to introduce a variety of subscriptions for physical or virtual products and services. Moreover, the subscription coupons make it easy to create and manage products with recurring payments. First thing to remember is that all your clients will have the option to upgrade or downgrade their personal plan, without needing you for this.
One of the perks is that the subscription-based model will let you capture more residual revenue. For this, all you have to do is ship all the purchases.
Why Use EffectIO’s Deal on WooCommerce Subscriptions Plugin?
Firstly, you have multiple billing schedules available to suit your needs.
Secondly, you can make convenient automatic payments with over 25 payment gateways.
Thirdly, it supports manual renewal payments through any payment gateway. Not to mention that it goes along with automatic email invoices and receipts.
In addition, it delights customers by offering subscribers special discounts on their payments or sign-up fee. It is using a subscriptions coupon such as a recurring discount.
More than this, this plugin gives subscribers the ability to manage their own plan, including upgrading or downgrading, without needing to wait on you for help.
Also, it offers free trials to increase trust and boost conversion rates.
Last but not least, it has built-in renewal notifications. Those notifications will let you and your customers know when subscription payments have been processed thus preventing any surprises.
WooCommerce Subscriptions is one of our favorite since is one of the most useful plugin. Checkout some of our tips in using it properly:
Secure Environment
Offer your customers the best security for recurring payments.
Payments
Give your customers different alternatives by providing more than one payment provider.
Free trials
Boost your conversion rates by offering free trials. Doing so you will win more trust from your customers.
Discounts
Your subscribers will be thrilled if they receive special discounts at sign-up or when they are making payments.
You have a Woocommerce store and you want to make sure that your users get to pay every month for their subscription without constantly clicking on the “Buy Now” button? Save time both for you and your users by introducing the Woocommerce Subscription plugin to your site!
Get the plugin from EffectIO and install and activate it on your site. Then go on the left bar to “Woocommerce” and click on “Settings”. The subscription based plugin will appear there. From that place, you can set the settings for your products, may they be physical or digital.
As you can see, there are some default settings. If you want, you can leave them like that or change them. You can change therefore both the “Add to Cart Button Text” and “Place Order Button Text” with whatever you want. For a better user experience, we recommend “Add to Cart” for the first label and “Sign Up” for the second.
Renewals
In order to keep track of your active and inactive users, you must choose their roles. The trick here is that you can’t set yourself or your team as “administrators”, in order to prevent being locked out.
Switching
If you want to allow your users to change their minds regarding their subscription type, you can do that by the “Allowing Switching” option. They can either do that between subscription variations or between grouped subscriptions. If you want to allow both options, you can do so by clicking on them both.
Sync
If you want to get your money on a specific time of a week, year or month, you can do that by setting a date.
When users get a paid membership, they usually want to pay their own way. However, if you want to have all the money one day, you can do so.
Tips and tricks for Woocommerce sites
A good idea would be to allow your users to pay for their products as they wish. Installing the PayPal and Stripe options are always a great idea, especially if you have a downloadable product. There are tons of Woocommerce plugins for doing this.
Also keep your subscription prices reasonable, because nobody wants to pay a lot of money for a product they can find somewhere else at a lower price. Remember that there are tons of providers just like you. So use the Woocommerce Subscriptions extension wisely.
Allowing customers to immediately get their digital downloads would be another important aspect. You don’t like waiting years to get your product, so why should anyone?
Quick recap
So with this plugin you can use multiple billing schedules, as well as setting a trial period for your users. In fact, trial periods are recommended in order to make sure that your products are compatible with your users’ expectations. Maybe a user wants to return your product after a while because he/ she is not satisfied with the services. This could be solved with the trial period option. In other words, this plugin allows you to successfully integrate the subscriptions into your site and is compatible with multiple WordPress themes.
Moreover, you can simply set sign up fees for your users, as well as simple and variable subscriptions. What is really cool about this plugin is that you can set the subscription renewal date whenever you want. There are also the membership plans, which you can allow users to switch between.
If, for example, a user wants upgrading or downgrading their subscription, they are also able to do so. Simply enable that option, in order to make sure that your users are always satisfied with your services.
