<h3><b>Set Up Subscription Rules in Minutes</b></h3>
<p class="p3">Build subscription products that fit your store perfectly. Choose billing intervals, enable free trials, add sign-up fees, and set an optional end date.

<h3><b>Manage Subscriptions from One Central Dashboard</b></h3>
<p class="p3">Stay in control with a clean, streamlined admin view of every active subscription. See customer details, subscription status, upcoming renewal dates, and payment history at a glance—without digging through orders. This makes it easier to reduce support time, avoid missed renewals, and keep recurring revenue running smoothly.</p>

<h3><b>Offer Customers a Self-Service Subscription Portal</b></h3>
<p class="p3">Cut down on support tickets by letting customers manage subscriptions directly from their WooCommerce account. They can review renewal dates, update payment methods, switch plans, or cancel (based on the rules you set). A simple self-service experience builds trust, reduces churn, and keeps management easy for everyone.</p>
<p class="p1"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006215663" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/myaccount.webp?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="782" /></p>

<h3><b>Automatically Generate Renewal Orders Each Billing Cycle</b></h3>
<p class="p3">For physical products, replenishment items, or recurring delivery services, every successful renewal should create a fresh WooCommerce order. Each cycle generates a new order for packing, shipping, and tracking—keeping your fulfillment workflow consistent and subscription revenue aligned with real-world logistics and inventory needs.</p>
<p class="p1"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006215664" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/recurringorder.webp?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="440" /></p>

<h3><b>Control Shipping with Flexible Delivery Schedules</b></h3>
<p class="p3">Separate shipping frequency from billing cycles to match how you fulfill orders. Ship every X days or weeks, or align deliveries to a fixed schedule—like the first of the month. These options help you streamline operations, reduce costs, and deliver a better experience to subscribers.</p>
<p class="p1"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006215665" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/separatecycles.webp?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="440" /></p>
</div>
<div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow">
<h3><b>Automate Failed and Unpaid Payment Handling</b></h3>
<p class="p3">Stop chasing payments manually. Define what happens when a subscription payment fails or stays unpaid: pause access for a set period, retry later, or cancel automatically after your chosen timeframe. This keeps policies consistent, reduces revenue loss, and ensures subscription status always matches payment reality.</p>
<p class="p1"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006215667" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/unpaid-payment.webp?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="440" /></p>

<h3><b>Prevent Last-Minute Cancellations with Custom Rules</b></h3>
<p class="p3">Protect your revenue with cancellation limits that fit your business. Set a cancellation window after signup, or block cancellations shortly before the next renewal. These rules reduce misuse, improve retention, and help you plan inventory, fulfillment, and billing with confidence.</p>
<p class="p1"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006215661" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/cancellimits.webp?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="440" /></p>

<h3>Rule-Based Blocking</h3>
<p>Build your own defense with powerful, flexible rules. Target orders by email address, domain, phone number, IP address, country, city, postcode, billing or shipping address, customer name, payment method, or shipping method. Choose from exact match, contains, wildcard, or regex matching. Set rules to block, hold, or flag — and add expiration dates for temporary rules.</p>
</div>
<div class="">
<h3>Intelligent Risk Scoring</h3>
<p>Every order is automatically assessed against six configurable risk signals: disposable email detection, IP reputation tracking, billing/shipping country mismatch, suspicious address keywords, new account age, and high-value order thresholds. Each signal has an adjustable weight, and you set the thresholds that determine whether an order is blocked, held, or flagged.</p>
</div>
<div class="">
<h3>Real-Time Checkout Protection</h3>
<p>Shop Defender intercepts fraudulent orders at the earliest possible moment — before payment is processed. Full support for both the classic WooCommerce checkout and the newer WooCommerce Blocks checkout. When an order is blocked, draft orders are automatically cleaned up and the customer sees your customizable error message.</p>
</div>
<div class="">
<h3>Order Risk Assessment</h3>
<p>Every order gets a detailed risk assessment stored as metadata. A dedicated metabox on the order page shows a color-coded badge (blocked, on hold, flagged, or low risk), a visual risk score bar, and a breakdown of every risk factor that contributed to the score. Optionally display a fraud risk column directly on the orders list.</p>
