Detailed feature highlights

Subscription products built for recurring revenue

Turn WooCommerce products and variations into subscription products with flexible billing intervals, free trials, signup fees, limited or unlimited duration, and recurring price changes after a defined number of payments. ArraySubs helps customers understand recurring charges clearly across product pages, cart, mini-cart, checkout, and order screens.

Recurring billing with renewal control

ArraySubs automates recurring billing for WooCommerce by creating renewal invoices ahead of the due date, supporting trial conversion, and moving overdue subscriptions through a configurable grace-period timeline. Instead of abrupt billing behavior, merchants can define how long subscriptions stay active, when they move on hold, and when they are finally cancelled.

Customer subscription portal

Customers get a dedicated Subscriptions area inside WooCommerce My Account where they can review active and past subscriptions, check next payment dates, inspect billing details, and use allowed self-service actions. Depending on your settings, they can cancel, renew early, switch plans, skip a renewal, pause a subscription, or reactivate when appropriate.

Plan switching and churn reduction

Offer upgrades, downgrades, and crossgrades without forcing customers to cancel and start over. ArraySubs supports switch rules, proration behavior, rounding options, minimum charges, and optional switch fees. Combined with cancellation reasons and targeted retention offers, this gives you more ways to save revenue before a customer leaves.

Refunds and lifecycle visibility

ArraySubs works with WooCommerce refunds so subscription-related orders, refund records, notes, and lifecycle changes stay aligned. You can support prorated refunds, define what a full refund should do to the subscription, and give support teams a clearer audit trail when resolving billing issues.

Membership-style access control

Need more than billing? ArraySubs can also power membership-style experiences by restricting content, URLs, downloads, products, and entitlements based on subscription status, ownership, roles, and related conditions. That makes it a strong fit for premium content, member areas, course access, private stores, and digital download businesses.

Member-only discounts and members-only commerce

ArraySubs helps turn a membership into something customers can feel at checkout, not just in restricted content. You can create member-only discounts for eligible subscribers across products, categories, and tags, and you can build members-only WooCommerce store rules that hide products, block purchases, or redirect non-members until they qualify.

Toolkit access controls for cleaner member experiences

If you want your site to feel like a polished frontend membership app instead of a raw WordPress backend, ArraySubs includes toolkit settings to hide the frontend admin bar, restrict /wp-admin access for customer-type users, and redirect /wp-login.php to a friendlier WooCommerce login flow when appropriate.

Admin tools for real operations

ArraySubs includes a dedicated subscription management interface for store owners, support teams, and operations staff. Search subscriptions by customer details, filter by status, export to CSV, create subscriptions manually, inspect notes and order history, and take manual actions when a customer needs hands-on help.

Flexible settings without custom development

The built-in settings control center lets merchants tune subscription behavior across billing, reminders, customer permissions, cancellation policy, retention offers, refunds, plan switching, skip, pause, membership restrictions, member discounts, ecommerce access rules, and toolkit access controls. That means you can adapt the subscription experience to your business model without editing code.

Built for real subscription businesses

ArraySubs is designed for stores that need more than basic recurring payments. It helps merchants manage the full subscription lifecycle, from product setup and checkout to renewals, customer self-service, retention, and access control.

Use ArraySubs to power:

• SaaS and software subscriptions
• Membership sites
• Premium content access
• Members-only ecommerce stores
• Subscription boxes
• Digital downloads
• Service retainers
• Recurring product plans

Use cases

For SaaS and software stores

Sell monthly or yearly software plans, offer free trials, manage renewals, and let customers upgrade or downgrade without opening support tickets for every change.

For membership businesses

Combine WooCommerce subscriptions with content restriction, member-only discounts, members-only shopping rules, and customer self-service so members can pay on a recurring basis and unlock protected pages, downloads, products, or member-only resources.

For private stores and wholesale-style commerce

Create members-only WooCommerce shopping experiences by restricting product visibility or purchasing to qualified users, while also rewarding active members with special catalog discounts.

For digital product businesses

Use recurring billing for premium downloads, updates, resource libraries, or educational content, while controlling access by subscription status and managing refunds with better visibility.

For subscription boxes and physical products

Set up recurring shipments, flexible billing schedules, signup fees, and customer pause or skip options for shoppers who want temporary flexibility instead of a full cancellation.

For service retainers and recurring client plans

Offer recurring service packages, manage renewal timing and payment reminders, and maintain a central record of notes, plan changes, and customer history.
