First payment date for WooCommerce Subscriptions

Beskrivelse

When you are using a site with WooCommerce Subscriptions you can change the first payment date using trial periods. But a trial period is a period, not a date. So you can set «1 month free» but you cannot set «this subscriptions will start being paid this date», whenever you make the bought of the subscription. This plugin solves this problem.

Basics

  • Set in every product or product variaition, which is the date of the first payment to be done. You can set a fixed date or a calculated one (first day of next month or first day of next year)
  • When a user buys your subscription, based in a product subscription or a product variable subscription, it will get the first payment in the specified date
  • User will see in cart and checkout how many days he can get the subscription for free until the first payment will be done

Additional features available only in PRO plugin version.

  • For each product or product variation, you can also set the date of the last payment to be made. You can use a fixed date or a calculated one: first day of next month, first day of next year, last day next month, last day this year, last day next year.
  • You will have full control of the payment schedule regardless of when the subscription purchase was made.
  • Show and check the payment schedule, check how many payments will be made, when and how much. Show it to your customers as well.
  • Custom the messages, customise WooCommerce Subscriptions strings to inform your customers in a natural and correct way.

Usage

Once the plugin is installed you can use it. Go to Product data, search «First payment date» and fill it. If you are using a variable product, you will find it in each variation.

FAQ

Field does not appear

Please, save your product subscription first. By default when you create a new product, this is created as simple product and this is not shown. When you save it and page reload, it will appear.

Product variations

You can set a first date of payment for each variation. Anyway, when a user visit your variable subscription product, he will see the first payment date of the first variation (in this way works WooCommerce Subscritpions with trial periods).

This plugin has been useful to us till the moment we changed the owner of our website and started to have problems with the new Stripe account. You must know that Codection will charge you for their help if you have any problems with their plugin and nobody else – either WooCommerce or Stripe help centers – is able to solve it. Other than that, everything is ok.

Hello, Can you also create an end date subscripition for woocommerce. currently they only give «day/month/year» but just like a start date our products also have subscription for end date. Or do you know any such plugin?

This plugin saved us! We had tried SO many of the official premium options but none of them worked for what we needed (even if they sounded like they would). Then we found this and it does exactly what it says it does and didn’t require any weird workarounds. Super easy to use, and allows our students to pre-register for courses, pay a registration fee, and only begin their subscription once the course begins. I can’t thank you enough!

Thank you so much for this plugin! I needed this feature and would’ve had to pay another 79.99 annually for a plugin that did this and a whole bunch of extra stuff I didn’t need. Thanks!

Me parece un plugin estupendo en todos los sentidos pero hice una consulta al desarrollador por email y tardó en responderme algo más de una hora. Aunque es verdad que luego me solucionó el problema.
