Email Reminders for WooCommerce Subscriptions

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

<h3>What is Groups?</h3>
<p>The Groups plugin for WordPress is an essential tool that helps you organize users on your website. Think of it like sorting people into different clubs or teams, where each club has its own set of rules about who can access and do what.</p>
<h3>Why use it?</h3>
<p>This plugin is very useful if you want to control who can see certain content or perform specific actions on your website. It helps you to keep some parts of your website exclusive to specific groups or to give special rights to some users.</p>
<p>Groups works great with WooCommerce, so you can make some products only available to members of certain groups.</p>
<h3>What it Does</h3>
<p>It allows you to create groups, assign users to these groups, and set permissions for what each group can do or see on your site.</p>
<p class="jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent">This slideshow requires JavaScript.</p><div id="gallery-0-1-slideshow" class="jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black" data-trans="fade" data-autostart="1" data-gallery="[{"src":"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Protected-Page.png","id":"18734004855583","title":"Protected Page","alt":"","caption":"","itemprop":"image"},{"src":"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Protected-Content.png","id":"18734004855587","title":"Protected Content","alt":"","caption":"","itemprop":"image"},{"src":"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Groups.png","id":"18734004855594","title":"Groups","alt":"","caption":"","itemprop":"image"}]"></div>

<h3>Ease of Use</h3>

<h3>Control Permissions</h3>
<p>Define what actions users in particular groups can perform, based on standard WordPress capabilities and custom capabilities provided by plugins.</p>
<h3>In a Nutshell</h3>
<p>The Groups plugin makes managing your WordPress site easier, especially if you need to control who can do what or see what. It is designed to be easy to use, reducing the complexity of user management and content access.</p>
