<h2>Offer prepaid plans with additional delivery options</h2>
Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions is a great addition to WooCommerce Subscriptions, which helps you increase revenue by offering prepaid options for your subscription products. 
Features in a nutshell:
<ul>
<li>Add prepaid plans in addition to your regular subscription options. For example, an Annual plan in addition to a Monthly plan.</li>
<li>Users can upgrade from the regular subscription to the prepaid plan.</li>
<li>Deliver orders on a different schedule than billing (e.g., pay annually, ship monthly).</li>
<li>Custom cancellation options help users keep their subscription until the prepaid period is over.</li>
<li>Several product layouts and pricing string customizations.</li>
<li>Three ways to charge for shipping.</li>
<li>Add-to-cart link for each prepaid plan that you can insert anywhere on your site.</li>
<li>Friendly UI sequence for each prepaid subscription and adjusted email notifications.</li>
</ul>
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.

<h3>How is this different from variable subscriptions? </h3>
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. 
Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions 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. 
<h2>Switching to a prepaid plan from a regular subscription. </h2>
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:
<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" />
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.
The prepaid plans may help you generate more revenue and increase the lifetime value of each subscription.
<h3>How to deliver on a different schedule to billing (e.g. pay annually, ship monthly)</h3>
There are two methods of selling prepaid plans: 
<ul>
<li>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. </li>
<li>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.  </li>
</ul>
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 Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions and synchronizing renewals feature, you can offer such kind of subscription.

<h3>Features</h3>
Choose from two layouts for the product page. You can adjust the subscription product page to display prepaid options favorably for clients.

Three payment methods for shipping: 
<ul>
<li>Default payment – charged regularly per every shipment as it is now with your usual subscription.</li>
<li>Upfront payment – 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.</li>
<li>Custom payment – you can specify the flat-rate cost for each prepaid plan separately that will be charged once the customer signs up. </li>
</ul>
Customize pricing strings and add an extra description for every prepaid option using variables. It helps you adjust prepaid functionality and use a separated shipping schedule that suits your preferred shipping options.

Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions has a user-friendly admin interface 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.

Canceling prepaid subscription. There are two options to prevent canceling ongoing subscriptions:
<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" />
<ol>
<li>Regular cancel subscription button 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.  </li>
<li>Cancel prepaid button – 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. </li>
</ol>
Each prepaid plan also has its own Add to cart URL which is used in those cases 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. 
Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions works with almost any regular WooCommerce Subscription setup and setting (for both simple and variable subscription-based products).
<h3>Limitations: </h3>
<ul>
<li>Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions works with both Simple and Variable subscription products (products should be subscription-based only, not the ones modified by the All Products for Subscriptions plugin). </li>
<li>There’s no option to switch between regular and prepaid subscriptions. The only thing users can do is cancel one subscription and pay for another subscription type. </li>
<li>Prepaid plans don’t work with the prorated payments option. You still can use synchronizing renewals, but only when prorated first renewal is set to never, and the full amount is charged upfront. </li>
</ul>
<h3>Requirements</h3>

Subscriptions can be canceled for many reasons. By learning these reasons through surveys and responding with appropriate offers, you can turn a potential cancellation into a continued subscription.
Cancellation Survey and Offers for WooCommerce Subscriptions helps you keep more subscribers by addressing their concerns when they decide to cancel. With this plugin, you can gather insights on why users consider canceling and respond with options to stay, like discounts or the choice to skip their next renewal period.
The plugin works with WooCommerce’s recurring coupon codes to offer discounts when someone tries to cancel their subscription. It includes all the features of recurring coupon codes, such as fixed amount off, percentage off, or discounts for a set number of renewals. Now, beyond discount offers, it also allows subscribers the option to skip their next renewal, providing an alternative retention strategy.
Additionally, since the discount system is based on regular WooCommerce coupons, you can enhance your discount strategies by integrating with other plugins that enhance coupon codes. This combination gives you greater control over your discount offers, making it easier to tailor them to specific subscription scenarios.

By offering skipping next renewal or discounts, and collecting feedback during the cancellation process, the Cancellation Survey and Offers for WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin helps you address subscriber concerns effectively, encouraging them to reconsider their decision to cancel.
<h3>Why Use the Plugin:</h3>
Boost Retention Rates 
The primary goal of this plugin is to reduce churn by addressing subscriber concerns in real time. For instance, if a significant number of subscribers are canceling because they find your product too expensive, offering them a targeted discount can encourage them to stay. This not only retains the customer but also increases their lifetime value.
Gain Valuable Insights 
By understanding the reasons behind cancellations, you can make informed decisions to improve your products and services. For example, if many subscribers indicate that they found a better alternative, it might be time to innovate or enhance your product features.
Retention Offers for Different Segments 
Use the plugin’s ability to create segmented surveys and offers to cater to different subscriber types. For instance, you can create a survey for premium subscribers with high-value products and offer substantial discounts to retain these valuable customers. Alternatively, for regular subscribers, a smaller discount might suffice to keep them engaged.
<h3>Use Cases:</h3>
<h4 class="p1">Offer Discount When a Specific Reason Is Selected</h4>
