Adding a subscription product with the WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin
Before being able to bill someone regularly, we'll have to set up a product that has special subscription billing details. Subscription products are very similar to simple products and only take a few extra steps to set up.
Getting ready
You must have the WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin installed and activated on your website.
How to do it…
In order to add a subscription product with the help of WooCommerce Subscriptions, implement the following steps:
- From the WordPress admin, go to Products | Add New.
- Add a Product name and Description as you would for any other product.
- Scroll down to the Product Data panel and change the product type to Simple subscription. You'll see several new fields appear.
- For a subscription product, you must fill out the Subscription Price ($) field. The Sign-up Fee and Free Trial fields are optional. You can also change the billing period right next to the Subscription Price field...
