How Subscription Billing Works

Subscriptio runs a structured subscription flow to keep transactions and account management running smoothly:

1. Customer places an order and payment is received.
2. Subscription is activated, or enters an optional trial period.
3. Renewal requests are generated automatically.
4. Payment reminders are sent to the customer.
5. Automatic payment processing is attempted if the gateway supports it.
6. If payment fails, the subscription enters a grace period.
7. Overdue payment reminders are sent (optional).
8. The subscription is suspended if payment is still not received (optional).
9. Cancellation notices are sent (optional).
10. The subscription is cancelled or expires after the maximum duration.

Billing Options

Subscriptio offers two billing modes to fit different business needs:

Semi-automatic billing: At the start of each billing cycle, customers receive an email with a Pay Now link and manually complete their payment. This mode works with all WooCommerce payment gateway extensions.

Fully automatic billing: Recurring payments are processed automatically without any customer action. This requires a gateway with subscription functionality. Subscriptio includes Stripe and PayPal Express Checkout extensions that support fully automatic billing out of the box.

How It Can Be Used

Subscriptio supports a wide range of subscription-based business models:

• Magazine and publication subscriptions
• Online membership programs with recurring payments
• E-learning and course packages
• Digital product subscriptions
• Physical product subscription boxes
• Service-based recurring billing
