WooCommerce Renewals
Provide a simple, manual renewal system to your customers
Best WooCommerce recurring payments plugin for manually paid subscriptions, recurring products and reorders.
Why prefer manual recurring payments over automatic payments?
Recurring payments or recurring billing is a great option for consistent and steady income. It also helps retain customers. Digital downloads, monthly magazines, courses, tutorials, etc, it is easy to renew subscription products.
Now, there are two renewal options – automatic renewals and manual renewals. One of the biggest advantages of having automatic renewals is payment gets automatically debited from the customer’s account.
However, not all payment gateways support automatic recurring payments. Automatic renewals won’t give flexibility for customers to change payment method, shipping method, billing and shipping address. All the same. And only recurring discount coupons will be applied.
On the other hand, manual WooCommerce recurring payments give full flexibility to customers to choose their preferred payment gateway, shipping method, billing and shipping address for each renewal. They also enjoy the privilege to apply multiple coupons (product and cart), and paying taxes applicable at the time of renewal.
So if you want a simple solution that does these and a lot more for manual orders, this WooCommerce recurring payments plugin called WooCommerce Renewals is an ideal choice.
