WPSubscription is a WordPress plugin designed to add subscription and recurring‑payment functionality to WooCommerce. It lets store owners configure daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly billing cycles and enables customers to upgrade, downgrade, or switch subscription tiers. The plugin centralizes subscription management, supports free trials, automates renewal handling, and sends customer notifications. It integrates with Stripe, PayPal, and Paddle (via a separate payment gateway plugin) and includes additional tools such as delivery scheduling and role assignment for paywalled content. The plugin focuses on offering a simpler and more affordable alternative to WooCommerce’s official subscription extension.
