About WooCommerce Subscriptions 4.0.2
WooCommerce Subscriptions turns WooCommerce products into recurring-payment products. A customer pays on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, and the store can renew automatically or manually. It works for physical, virtual and downloadable products, and adds subscription fields to the normal product editor.
The slug carries an older version number, but the file on record is version 4.0.2, dated 2022. Whether renewals run automatically depends on your payment gateway. Test the full cycle, sign-up, renewal and cancellation, on a staging site with your current WooCommerce and gateway before you sell subscriptions.
Requirements
- WooCommerce
- A payment gateway that handles recurring payments, if you want automatic renewals
Key features
- Flexible billing periods
- Choose daily, weekly, monthly or yearly billing, with a renewal cycle.
- Automatic or manual renewals
- Renewals can run automatically or be paid manually by the customer.
- Any product type
- Subscriptions can be created for physical, virtual and downloadable products.
- Customer self-service
- Subscribers can manage their own plan without contacting you.
- Emails and reports
- Automatic emails and receipts, plus reports on recurring revenue and subscriber numbers.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Stores selling recurring products such as boxes, services or digital access
- Shops that want to track recurring revenue inside WooCommerce
Look elsewhere if
- Stores with one-off sales only
- Sites that need a membership content system on its own; that is a different type of plugin
How to install WooCommerce Subscriptions 4.0.2
- 1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
- 2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
- 3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.
Notes for this product
- Automatic renewals depend on the payment gateway. A gateway that cannot store payment details only allows manual renewals.
Setup: using WooCommerce Subscriptions 4.0.2
- Add a subscription product. Create a new product and choose the simple subscription type.
- Set price and billing period. Enter the recurring price, interval and any length or sign-up options.
- Pick a compatible gateway. Enable a gateway that supports recurring payments if you want automatic renewals.
- Test sign-up and renewal. Buy as a test customer, then run a renewal and a cancellation from the admin.
Common problems and fixes
Renewals are not processed on schedule
- Why it happens
- WordPress scheduled tasks are not running, or the gateway does not allow automatic payments.
- How to fix it
- Make sure scheduled tasks run on a real server cron schedule and check the gateway's automatic payments setting.
Customers are asked to renew by hand
- Why it happens
- The chosen gateway does not support automatic renewals.
- How to fix it
- Switch to a gateway that does, or accept manual renewal for those orders.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
