WooNooW's Subscriptions module seamlessly integrates with your store, enabling recurring revenue streams for your products or services.

## Setup Requirements
To use Subscriptions, ensure:
1. The **Subscriptions** module is toggled ON under **WooNooW > Settings > Modules**.
2. Your payment gateway supports tokenization / recurring payments (e.g., Stripe, PayPal).

## Creating a Subscription Product
1. Go to **Products > Add New** in WordPress.
2. In the Product Data dropdown, select **Simple Subscription** or **Variable Subscription**.
3. Configure the billing schedule:
   - **Subscription Price:** The recurring amount (e.g., $15).
   - **Billing Interval/Period:** How often they are charged (e.g., every 1 month).
   - **Expire After:** When the subscription automatically ends (leave empty for "Never expire").
   - **Sign-up Fee:** Optional one-time fee added to the first payment.
   - **Free Trial:** Offer an initial period at no cost (e.g., 14 days).
4. Publish the product.

## Managing Subscriptions (Admin)
Store owners can view and manage all active, paused, or cancelled subscriptions directly from the Admin SPA.
1. Navigate to **Store > Subscriptions**.
2. Click on any Subscription ID to view details.
3. From the detail view, you can:
   - **Pause** an active subscription.
   - **Cancel** a subscription.
   - **Change Next Payment Date**.
   - **Process Renewal** manually.

## Customer Experience
When a customer purchases a subscription, they gain access to a self-service dashboard in their account:
1. Customers navigate to **My Account > Subscriptions**.
2. They can view the status, next payment date, and associated orders.
3. They have full autonomy to actions like **Pause**, **Resume**, or **Cancel** their own subscriptions based on the permissions you configure in the module settings.
4. If a payment fails, customers will see a clear **Pay Now** button to update their billing details.

## Automated Emails
The notification system automatically handles subscription lifecycle events:
- **New Subscription:** Welcome email for the recurring plan.
- **Renewal:** Receipt for a successful periodic charge.
- **Failed Renewal:** Action required notification to update payment info.
- **Cancelled/Expired:** Confirmation of plan termination.

You can customize these templates under **Settings > Notifications**.
