The subscription for WooCommerces Pro Plugin has advanced features that allow the admin to perform other important functions related to subscription products.

Enable automatic payment retry for failed attempts: Toggle this option to set automatic retry for subscription plan payments. Thus, ensuring the WooCommerce recurring orders are fulfilled properly

Enter the number of failed payment attempts: After a certain number of failed attempts, the subscription will be canceled.

Here is how the notification looks when you put the left amount in user’s wallet

Ability to accept prorate signup fee during Upgrade/Downgrade: You can allow proration on sign-up fees for upgrading or downgrading subscription plans

Ability to take renewal payment from a certain date: You can take the subscription renewal payment from the users on a selected day. 

The subscription payment will be cut on this day after every subscription interval

Thereafter, the admin can synchronize the payment day from the subscription settings of variable and simple subscription products.

Prorate price for certain date of month: Admin can decide the types of proration on subscription plans. In this way, the customer pays for their subscriptions based on the time they are using it.

There are 3 options in this setting; below is the detailed overview of those options:

1. Charge Prorate Amount for Subscription:

This option is mainly to prorate the first payment. If there is a difference of days between the start of the subscription plan and payment submission day, the admin can decide to take or not take payment for the rest of the days. 

An initial fee based on the days left in the present billing cycle shall be charged from the customer if the first payment is prorated. 

For example, let us assume that a customer takes up a subscription of 30$ per month on the 15th of July. But, the admin calculates the WooCommerce recurring payments from the 20th of every month. In that case, if this option is enabled, the admin can charge (5$) the 5-day amount from the user at the time of sign-up. (As the difference here between 15th and 20th is 5 days) And, from the next 20th the billing cycle will be refined.

Please note, this addition will be made along with sign up fees if any. Admin also needs to allow the feature of ‘enable subscriptions from a certain date of the month’ for this setting.    

2. Do Not Charge Prorate Amount:

If this option is enabled, no prorated amount will be charged from the customers. Merchants will not be able to take payments for the remaining days of the subscription plan.

Taking the same example, if this option is enabled then the customer will pay 30$ for a subscription plan starting from the 15th of this month till the 20th of the next month as the first recurring payment. In short, customers will not pay any fees for the first 5 days and directly pay 30$ next 20th.

3. Charge Prorate Amount For Subscription Even Free Trial:

This option will charge a prorated amount for the subscription plan. It will also include the free trial fees. 

Understanding with the same example, if a 30$ per month subscription plan starts from the 15th and the payment date is the 20th, but the admin has set a free trial of 2 days. Then, the prorated amount will be charged after a 2 days trial.

As in this case, the free trial will end on the 17th. So, customers will have to pay 3 days prorated amount (3$ as the difference between the 17th and 20th is 3 days) at sign-up.

Allow shipping cost during checkout only: Toggle this option to charge shipping cost on subscription products during checkouts

Allow Shipping Costs for Renewals: Toggle this option to charge shipping costs on renewal orders

Ability to checkout with BACS, COD and Cheque Payment Gateways: Toggle this option to allow your users to checkout via manual payment gateways like BACS, Cash on Delivery and Cheque

Allow start date on subscription products: Toggle this to  set the start date of subscription products and services. The start date will be visible on the subscription product page

NOTE: In This WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin, when you set a start date for a subscription product. The product or service subscription starts from the set date, but the first subscription amount is taken when the order is placed. Subsequently, the recurring payment will be taken from the following payment date after the start date.

For example, a user buys a subscription product of 99$ from your store on 25 January with a start date of 15 February. In this case, the subscription will start from 15 February. Still, the first payment by the user will be made on 25 January itself on the checkout page(including sign-up fees, if any). After that, the next recurring payment of the subscription product shall be taken from the user on 15 March (as set by the admin in synchronization).

A new detailed report view has been added to display key subscription data. The report includes metrics such as Total Subscription Sales, Top Subscribed Products, Total Renewals, Canceled Subscriptions, Renewed Subscriptions, and Monthly Renewal Revenue. The data is available in both graph and table formats for easy reference and analysis. You can view the Average Recurring Revenue (ARR) and Subscription Churn rate

After that, the customer will pay the recurring fees in the upcoming week, month or year. 

Merchants can take renewal subscription payments from a particular day of a week, month or year. The renewal subscription payment from the certain date setting is for a recurring payment cut on the selected day. This means the admin can synchronize days depending upon the subscription per interval, i.e.:

• Monday, Tuesday, etc. in case of weeks
• Day1, Day 2, etc. in case of months
• January, February, etc., in the case of years.    

The recurring payment shall be cut from the subscriber account on this day.

Subsequently, you can select from the day for synchronization of your payments. That is to say, the subscription payment gets credited to the admin account every month, or week on this specific day.  It depends on the subscription per interval you have chosen. It will show days of the week for weeks, and for years, it will show months.

Pay Now, Start Later:
