WC Autoship

WC Autoship allows your customers to add their favourite items to future autoship orders aka purchase products as recurring orders, e.g. monthly or bi-monthly. It is capable of handling both one-time purchases and auto-ship products within the same cart and checkout. They are then going through the default intuitive shopping cart and checkout and can self-manage all aspects of their orders via their account.

That being said, store operators do not need to change their products or checkout process for this to work. Also, WooCommerce shipping options are available for autoship orders.

Difference between Subscriptions & Auto-Ship

You probably ask yourself why not just go for subscriptions? Well, even though they sound to be very similar in terms of functionality there are some important differences. An auto-ship solution allows customers to proceed to checkout with multiple one-time or auto-sip items and not just one item.

The Autoship payment gateways do not make any difference between orders. Thus you are not limited to the payment workflow of any given subscription payment gateway.

Whilst subscriptions can only be updated or cancelled completely, Autoship allows your customers to change upcoming orders with ease. Items can be added or removed and delivery schedules can be changed. Also payment and shipping methods as well as addresses can easily be updated.

Free Trial

[Update] Prior to Autoship v4 you have been able to download a trial version which allowed you to test it free of charge. The free version had come with limited features, e.g. no sales will be processed. However, both checkout and autoship payments could have been tested via PayPal.

Unfortunately the trial version is no longer available. However, they are providing a 30 day evaluation period with every license purchase.
