Membership Suite

<p>Add a customizable membership benefits program to your store with <strong>Membership Suite for WooCommerce.</strong></p>

<h2>Offer prepaid plans with additional delivery options</h2>
<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> is a great addition to </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">WooCommerce Subscriptions</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">, which helps you increase revenue by offering prepaid options for your subscription products. </span></p>
<p><strong>Features in a nutshell:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Add prepaid plans in addition to your regular subscription options. For example, an Annual plan in addition to a Monthly plan.</span></li>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Users can upgrade from the regular subscription to the prepaid plan.</span></li>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Deliver orders on a different schedule than billing (e.g., pay annually, ship monthly).</span></li>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Custom cancellation options help users keep their subscription until the prepaid period is over.</span></li>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Several product layouts and pricing string customizations.</span></li>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Three ways to charge for shipping.</span></li>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Add-to-cart link for each prepaid plan that you can insert anywhere on your site.</span></li>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Friendly UI sequence for each prepaid subscription and adjusted email notifications.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">When you add prepaid plans to your regular subscriptions, your customers may choose whether they want to pay for each delivery or pay upfront for a longer period to get the best deal possible. </span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8721687" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/1st-explainer.gif" alt="" width="980" height="551" /></p>
<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How is this different from variable subscriptions? </span></strong></h3>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Using variable subscriptions allows you to create limited variations for a subscription product, including various subscription durations. For example, when you offer three variations such as: for one week, one month or one year, these products will be delivered respectively once a week, a month or once a year. But when you want your customers to pay for one year and provide products every month, you have no option to do this by default. </span></p>
<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">lets you create as many prepaid plans for each subscription product as you want and make shipments regularly. It also helps you provide accurate information to your clients about subscription lengths and delivery schedules, offers them better deals for long-term subscriptions, and charge them for shipping the best way. </span></p>
<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Switching to a prepaid plan from a regular subscription. </span></h2>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Consider offering prepaid plans to make your revenue streams more predictable. When a customer signs up for a longer subscription plan and pays upfront, you can count on that revenue for the entire year. With Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions, you can offer upgrades from a regular subscription (e.g., monthly) to a prepaid plan (e.g., annually) directly from the user’s account:</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734001802068" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screenshot-2023-04-11-at-14.17.32.png?w=620" alt="" width="620" height="471" /></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Don’t forget that you can offer discounts for longer-term usage and highlight it with customizable pricing strings to make your offer more attractive to your current customers.</span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The prepaid plans may help you generate more revenue and increase the lifetime value of each subscription.</span></p>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How to deliver on a different schedule to billing (e.g. pay annually, ship monthly)</span></h3>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">There are two methods of selling prepaid plans: </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Offer prepaid options in addition to regular subscriptions. E.g., pay for one or two years and get a monthly delivery or pay every month as usual. </span></li>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Offer ONLY prepaid options and ship on a different schedule. E.g., pay upfront for three or six months and get weekly shipping without the option to pay every week.  </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">When the customer pays for a certain period in advance you can expect to generate stable and predictable profits. This feature is widely used by magazine publishers that may charge upfront for one year and ship every month on a particular date. With </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">and </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">synchronizing renewals </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">feature, you can offer such kind of subscription. </span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8763721" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bost-3.gif" alt="" width="980" height="551" /></p>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Features</span></h3>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Choose from</span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> two layouts for the product page. </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">You can adjust the subscription product page to display prepaid options favorably for clients.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8641282" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Layout-1-1.png" alt="Prepaid for woocommerce subscription" width="980" height="532" /><img class="alignnone wp-image-8640456 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/4-2.png" alt="Prepaid plans - woocommerce subscription" width="980" height="532" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Three payment methods for shipping: </span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Default payment </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">– charged regularly per every shipment as it is now with your usual subscription.</span></li>
<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Upfront payment</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> – your regular shipping cost multiplied by the number of subscription pieces in the prepaid plan and charged once for the entire prepaid period at the first checkout.</span></li>
<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Custom payment </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">– you can specify the flat-rate cost for each prepaid plan separately that will be charged once the customer signs up. </span></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Customize pricing strings</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> and add an </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">extra description</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> for every prepaid option using variables. It helps you adjust prepaid functionality and use a</span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> separated shipping schedule</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> that suits your preferred shipping options. </span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8763762" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/settings-2-1.png" alt="settings" width="980" height="569" /></p>
<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Adjustments to the cart, checkout, and user account pages</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> to let your customers track their subscription statuses. </span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-8640579 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/66.png" alt="how to sell subscriptions prepaid" width="980" height="532" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions</strong> has a <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">user-friendly admin interface</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> for managing prepaid subscriptions. You can find a prepaid sequence area in every prepaid subscription to help you figure out the delivery schedule for each client. </span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8640797" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/subs-orderzz.png" alt="" width="980" height="532" /></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Use </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">prepaid addition to emails </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">to inform your clients about what’s going on with their subscriptions, how many deliveries are left, and when the next renewal payments will come. </span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8640708" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/email22.png" alt="warning email - woocommerce subscription" width="550" height="250" /></p>
<p><strong>Canceling prepaid subscription. </strong>There are two options to prevent canceling ongoing subscriptions:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-18734000719994" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screenshot-2022-07-22-at-19.02.02.png?w=620" alt="Prevent subscription canceling " width="895" height="482" /></p>
<ol>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true"><strong>Regular cancel subscription button</strong> on user account – cancels prepaid subscription right away, no matter how many prepaid pieces have left. This one is needed in case you have any costs associated with delivering prepaid subscription products.  </span></li>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true"><strong>Cancel prepaid button</strong> – subscription won’t be canceled right off the bat but will wait until all prepaid pieces are delivered, and auto-cancels after the last piece is shipped. </span></li>
</ol>
<p>Each prepaid plan also has its own <strong>Add to cart URL </strong>which is used in those cases <span style="font-weight: 400">when you need to offer a subscription not from the product page, but from the pricing table or any other place outside of the product page. </span></p>
<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">works with almost any regular WooCommerce Subscription setup and setting (for both simple and variable subscription-based products).</span></p>
<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Limitations: </span></strong></h3>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions </span><b>works with both Simple and Variable subscription </b><span style="font-weight: 400">products (products should be subscription-based only, not the ones modified by the All Products for Subscriptions plugin). </span></li>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">There’s no option to</span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> switch between</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> regular and prepaid subscriptions. The only thing users can do is cancel one subscription and pay for another subscription type. </span></li>
<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Prepaid plans don’t work with the </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">prorated payments</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> option. You still </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">can </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">use </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">synchronizing renewals</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">, but only when prorated first renewal is set to never, and the full amount is charged upfront. </span></li>
