How to Give Customers More Access to Their Subscriptions in WooCommerce

I remember when the Subscription extension came out for WooCommerce. As it grew, it became more and more amazing. But there’s that moment when a plugin comes out that adds even more features to an existing extension, features and options you have wanted and needed. That is where the Toolbox for WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin comes in. Trust me. It’s really cool.

If you have a store and are using WooCommerce subscriptions for recurring orders, let me show you what you can do with this plugin.

The Toolbox for WooCommerce Subscriptions Plugin

There is a setting page where you can activate or deactivate any of the plugin settings. Let’s look at the different options.

When the customer is in their account page, this is what they will see if they click on the subscriptions tab:

The function of the first two tabs and the ability to turn it off and on is in the settings.

The Ship Now/Keep has the option to do the order now while keeping the next day intact and the Ship Now/Reschedule will move the date according to the subscription.

Also, if you want to change quantities. For example, in the above screenshot, I have quantity boxes available, so it could be changed and saved to up their order to two coffees a month.

What Can Be Changed on Single Subscriptions

There are several settings you can activate for single subscriptions.

Here you can see the details of those as well as the two I have already shared with you.

For example, if I click the Skip next payment option, you will see that now it shows as December 12 for the next payment vs. November that was shown in the previous screenshot of the individual account.

And if I do want to Change Next Shipping Date, I will get a date picker.

There are also options you can give to the subscriber to edit the details of their subscription, including, again, the next shipping date plus the frequency of their subscription as well as the quantity of the shipments. These are added to the default customer details that is done through the subscription extension.

Add to an Existing Subscription

On the product page, you can also give your customers this option:

And it will show up here:

Button Text Customization

Lastly, you can easily edit any of the text of any of the buttons added through this plugin.

As you can see, these are just a few features that can extend the Subscriptions extension and offer more options for your customers.

When adding options such as skipping a payment, etc., keep in mind your products and your customers. Think through how this will add a benefit to your customer but also not affecting your bottom line with drastic influxes of income. Although these are powerful features to have, make sure you fully understand how and when your customers will use them.
