Introduction

If you would like to sell subscription-based products, you could do just that with our Subscriptions and Membership app. This app allows you to sell products and services with recurring payments.

Important Note: If you are using PayPal as your payment method for your subscription products, you should enable Reference Transaction on your paypal account.

It is very convenient for the customers to have their membership auto-renewed with automatic payments (Current supported in 3 payment gates : PayPal, Stripe, Mollie. More gateway support is coming up)

Now you could offer free trials for your users with the help of the free trial option available on the subscription product type. It lets you add the duration for which you would like the users to try the free trial before the subscription is active.
