YITH Subscription

YITH WooCommerce Subscription is an Extension Plugin for WooCommerce which allows you to easily offer your customers any number of subscription-based products, with different conditions and recurring periods.

It enables the possibility for users to purchase subscriptions from your site. Basically, a subscription is a service provided at a regular interval (weekly, monthly or yearly) that has a setup fee and then some variable fees for each unit of time that passes until the user cancels the subscription.

YITH WooCommerce Subscription can be used by:

Shops offering multi-period subscriptions
Service providers (SaaS - Software as a Service)
Gym or Fitness Centers
Educational institutions
Shops selling digital products (eBooks, videos, music, themes) which are frequently updated.
Non-profit associations or groups.

It was founded by Nando Pappalardo.
