Payment Methods supported by Subscription for WooCommerce

Last updated on December 1, 2021

Subscription Plugin for WooCommerce is one of the best plugins that can integrate a subscription model eCommerce system into your online WooCommerce store efficiently. With subscriptions, choosing an appropriate payment method is an important decision to consider. The role of a payment gateway in a subscription plugin is inevitable as it authenticates the recurrence transactions carried out in a subscription.

Recurring payments for subscriptions are accepted broadly in two ways:

Automatic
Manual

Most of the subscribers would want the renewals to happen automatically otherwise the subscriber will have to visit the site every recurring period whether it is monthly weekly or yearly to make the respective payment for the subscription to remain active. Any methods used for manual renewals supports suspending, canceling and reactivating subscriptions as well as changing the next recurring amount, payment date and billing schedule.

Once an automatic payment method is configured for subscription, then the successive payments for the recurrences will be taken automatically from the same payment mode unless it is been changed manually by the subscriber or admin at a later time.

Some of the major payment gateways supported by Subscription for WooCommerce plugin are the following:

Provider	Payment Gateway	Automatic Renewal	Manual Renewal

  Hi Eduardo,
  
  Greetings from WebToffee! As we haven’t tested the plugin with the FirstData payment plugin we cannot confirm the compatibility and in order to process subscription/automatic recurring payments, the payment gateway used should support the feature natively. If the mentioned payment gateway plugin has a recurring payment feature, it is likely to work with our subscription plugin without any issues. Thanks for understanding.

  Hi Chad,
  
  We have tested PayFast in sandbox mode for subscription product purchases and it is working fine. We don’t have the opportunity to check in live mode and hence cannot confirm the same.
