Email Reminders for WooCommerce Subscriptions

<p>Keep customers informed of upcoming changes to subscriptions via email.</p>

<div class="woo-sc-box info">Before purchasing this add-on, you will first need to purchase and install <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/">WooCommerce Subscriptions</a>.</div>
<h1>Capture Every Type of Buyer — With One Product Page</h1>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Not every shopper is ready to commit to a subscription on their first visit. Some want to try a product before they commit. Others already know they want it regularly and are looking for the best deal. With Buy Once or Subscribe for WooCommerce Subscriptions, you don’t have to choose which customer to cater to — you can serve them both, from a single product page, without complex setups or duplicate listings.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Take a <strong>natural skincare brand</strong> as an example. A first-time visitor lands on a moisturiser product page and isn’t quite sure yet — they pick the one-time purchase option to try it out. A returning customer who already loves the product sees the subscription option offering a 15% discount and switches to a monthly plan on the spot. A third customer adds the moisturiser directly to an existing subscription they already have, without ever leaving the product page. Three different buyers, three different needs — all handled seamlessly, with no extra SKUs, no separate product listings, and no support tickets.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The result? Higher conversion rates, more predictable recurring revenue, and a shopping experience that meets customers exactly where they are.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">With Buy Once or Subscribe, your store can:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><b>Create subscription plans for your existing simple and variable products</b></li>
<li><strong>Set global subscription plans (for entire product categories)</strong></li>
<li><b>Create subscription plans for each product or product variation</b></li>
<li><b>Sell simple or variable products as subscriptions from the same product page</b></li>
<li><b>Use the same product SKU for one-time purchases and subscriptions </b></li>
<li><b>Add percentage or value discounts to subscription plans to incentivise customers</b></li>
<li><strong>(NEW) Add products to an existing subscription from the product page</strong></li>
<li><strong>(NEW) Allow customers to change plans on the cart page</strong></li>
<li><strong>(NEW) Subscription availability period</strong></li>
</ul>
<hr class="wccom-product-heading__hr" />
<h3>This is a WooCommerce Subscriptions add-on/extension</h3>
<p>This extension requires that <strong>subscription functionality first be enabled</strong> on your website.</p>
<h2>Who Is This For?</h2>
<p><strong>Perfect for:</strong> subscription box stores, beauty and skincare brands, food and beverage businesses, supplement and wellness stores, pet supply shops, digital product sellers, and any WooCommerce store looking to grow predictable monthly recurring revenue without rebuilding their product catalogue.</p>
<h2>How can your business benefit?</h2>
<h3>Turn Any Product Into a Recurring Revenue Stream</h3>
<p>Buy Once or Subscribe works with your existing WooCommerce products — no rebuilding your catalogue, no duplicate pages. Simply define your subscription plans and start offering recurring billing alongside one-time purchases on the same product page, from today.</p>
<h3>Give Every Customer the Option That Suits Them</h3>
<p>Some shoppers want to try before they commit. Others already know they want a product regularly and are looking for the best value. By presenting both options together, you remove friction at the point of purchase and capture buyers you would otherwise lose — whether they’re ready to subscribe or just testing the waters.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-18734005029740 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Buy-once-or-subscribe-selection.png" alt="Buy Once or subscribe selection" width="1017" height="651" /></p>
<h3>Easily create and sell subscription boxes in your online store</h3>
<p>Buy Once or Subscribe for WooCommerce Subscriptions is fully integrated with the <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/product-bundles/">Product Bundles</a> and <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/composite-products/">Composite Products</a> extensions. This gives you the possibility of <strong>creating and selling</strong> <b>subscription boxes</b>.</p>
<h3>Let Customers Add Products to an Existing Subscription in One Click <em>(NEW)</em></h3>
<p>Give subscribers a fast, frictionless way to grow their order without leaving the product page. Customers can add new items directly to an active subscription with a single click — no cart juggling, no support tickets, and no lost sales.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-18734005911813 size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Add-product-to-subscription.png?w=737" alt="" width="737" height="705" /></p>
<h3>Increase Subscription Sign-Ups With Built-In Discount Incentives</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Show customers exactly how much they save by choosing a subscription over a one-time purchase. Offer percentage or fixed value discounts on any subscription plan to make the recurring option the obvious choice. Customers can also compare both options on the cart page and switch plans before they check out.</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18734005232244" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Change-subscription-plan-in-cart.png" alt="Change subscription plan in cart" width="980" height="481" /></p>
<h3>Scale Subscription Plans Across Your Entire Catalogue</h3>
<p>Define subscription plans globally across product categories, per individual product, or per product variation. Whether you’re running a ten-product store or a catalogue of hundreds, you can roll out flexible subscription pricing at whatever level makes sense for your business.</p>
<h3>Manage One-Time and Subscription Sales Without Extra SKUs</h3>
<p>Sell the same product as a one-time purchase and as a subscription using a single SKU. No duplicated product listings, no inventory complications, and no extra management overhead — just a cleaner catalogue and a smoother experience for you and your customers.</p>
<h2>Get More From Your Subscriptions — Bundle and Save 10%</h2>
<p>Buy Once or Subscribe helps you convert one-time buyers into subscribers. The <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/self-service-dashboard-for-woocommerce-subscriptions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Self-service Dashboard for WooCommerce Subscriptions</a>. helps you keep them.</p>
<p>Once a customer is subscribed, the Self-Service Dashboard gives them the freedom to manage their own subscription — pausing it, changing the next payment date, updating quantities, swapping product variations, and more — all without contacting your support team.</p>
<p>The result is fewer cancellations, fewer support tickets, and a higher Customer Lifetime Value across your entire subscriber base.</p>

<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Product-specific subscription plans</span></li>
<li>(NEW) Variation-level subscription plans</li>
</ol>

<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-18734006312555 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Global-subscription-settings-1.png" alt="Global subscription settings" width="1723" height="764" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Product-specific subscription plans will let you set individual subscription frequencies for each product, allowing you more control over your product offering.</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-18734006312559 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Product-subscription-settings.png" alt="Product subscription settings" width="1418" height="679" /></p>

<h2>Set discounts for each subscription plan</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">For all subscription plans, you have the option of adding a percentage discount. Adding a discount will generally incentivize customers to buy regularly, using the subscription option.</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-18734006312564 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Discount-settings.png" alt="Discount settings" width="1421" height="679" /></p>
<p><strong>(New)</strong> For both product-specific and variation-specific subscription plans, discounts can be set as a percentage or a fixed value. Setting the discount as a fixed value will let you achieve a more precise discounted price.</p>
