<p>Online shopping comes with uncertainty because customers feel fear to place an order without trying, which leads to cart abandonment and reduces sales. Turn this fear into a confident buyer with our powerful WooCommerce Try Before You Buy solution.<br />
This extension allows you to offer product trials directly from your store, giving customers the opportunity to test items before making a final purchase decision. You can restrict trials to specific products, categories, brands, or user roles and set custom trial periods based on product type or quantity. It also lets you apply a trial fee, manage returns through a structured process, and enable trial options across your entire store. All trial activity can be tracked and managed from a detailed dashboard.<br />
A complete solution to make your store similar to popular brands that offer try-before-you-buy experiences.</p>
<h2>How does Try Before You Buy Work?</h2>
<p>Once activated, customers will be able to see a “Try Before You Buy” button on eligible products. When a customer starts a trial, their payment details are collected, and a trial fee is charged, if applicable. Customers can choose to keep or return the product. If they decide to keep it, the remaining balance is automatically charged; otherwise, they can return it by following your store’s return process.</p>
<div class="wccom-product-single__main--content">

<h2>Allow customers to try products before they buy</h2>
<p>Try Before You Buy for WooCommerce allows customers to try the product before making a purchase, which makes your store more engaging, reduces customer hesitation, builds their trust, and can increase your store’s sales. It can also allow you to restrict trials by user, country, or shipping zone, apply fees, and track activity easily.</p>

<h2>Option for customers to either return or keep products</h2>
<p>This feature provides flexibility to customers to return or keep a product after the completion of the trial period.
