The post All Products for WooCommerce Subscriptions first appeared on CODIBU.

WooCommerce Subscriptions has a few standard emails built into the plugin. These emails notify your subscribers about subscriptions events, such as renewal orders or failed payments. However, WordPress isn’t really a great tool for sending emails, as its scheduling mechanisms aren’t robust, and email deliverability from your site is not ideal (using a dedicated email service is better).

While Subscriptions does cover basic emails, you can use Jilt for advanced subscriber emails. Jilt can send a single email or series of emails for subscription events, automating your subscriber lifecycle emails.

Comparison

Requirements

In order to use Jilt with WooCommerce Subscriptions, your site must meet the following requirements.

• WooCommerce Subscriptions v2.1 or newer
• You must have a Jilt account (free accounts are available)

Jilt for WooCommerce v1.5 or newer

• PHP 5.6 or newer (you can see this on your site under WooCommerce > Status)

Setup

• Follow the guide here to connect your store to Jilt.
• Once connected, if WooCommerce Subscriptions is active on your site, you should already have subscriber emails available! 
  If not, you can manually enable this integration in your Jilt account. In Jilt, go to Settings > Integrations and click “Enable” for WooCommerce Subscriptions.

You can now use subscriber emails. When Jilt connects to your site, it automatically starts to sync your member data, and it will get updates from your store via the WooCommerce webhooks for subscriber updates. Therefore, it’s very important that the webhooks Jilt has registered for subscription events are not deleted.

Email types

Jilt supports several subscriber emails with pre-built templates. These campaign templates can let you send 1 or more emails for different subscription lifecycle events.

Each campaign has a set of default rules and emails to get you started, and these rules and emails can be customized for your store.

Welcome new subscribers

You can send an email or series to welcome new subscribers as subscriptions are created. You can target specific subscription products or product categories (collections) as well to scope the audience for this campaign.

This email can insert subscriber data dynamically as well. See the notes on email content below for more details.

Trial ending notifications

You can notify subscribers in a trial period when their trial end date is approaching. This lets you answer any questions before the initial subscription payment is processed, and can target subscribers hours, days, or weeks before the trial ends.

Pre-renewal reminder

Need to keep customers informed before a payment processes? You can use a pre-renewal notification email or series to let them know of an upcoming payment. This is especially helpful for subscriptions with longer billing intervals.

Pending cancellation notification

When a subscriber cancels a subscription, it’s helpful to let them know when their access will end, and confirm that they won’t be charged going forward. The pending cancel notification is able to do this for you, and will email subscribers when their subscription is set to the “pending cancellation” status.

Post-expiration win-back

The “post expiration” template in Jilt can be used to win-back expired subscribers. Some sites use a single campaign to notify subscribers immediately as a subscription expires, then create a new campaign to send emails with a longer delay, or you can combine these into a single campaign with several emails.

If the subscription status changes due to renewal, Jilt will automatically exit the subscriber if your site uses Subscriptions 2.3.5 or newer, so they won’t receive any further emails as soon as their subscription is re-activated. This is helpful, for example, if you include a discount code, so subscribers won’t see this after they’ve already renewed.

Post-cancellation win-back

Post-cancellation emails can be sent after a subscription has been changed to the “cancelled” status. These emails can be used to win-back subscribers, or get feedback as to why the subscriber cancelled.

If the subscription status changes due to renewal or repurchase, Jilt will automatically exit the subscriber if your site uses Subscriptions 2.3.5 or newer, so they won’t receive any further emails as soon as their subscription is reactivated. This is helpful, for example, if you include a discount code, so subscribers won’t see this after they’ve already become active again.

Ending soon notifications

An Easter egg template! If you subscription has an end date or set number of billing cycles, you can repurpose the welcome template, and turn it into an “ending soon” notification by removing the “date created” rule, and swapping in an “end date” rule instead.

While the “after subscription created” text is misleading in this case, the delay is essentially “send this X time after someone enters this campaign (matches these rules)”.

Email content

Jilt’s email builder support blocks, such as buttons, images, or text. However, it also supports HTML blocks and liquid (a template language). This means that emails can use liquid tags to insert content, while developers can do advanced customizations like conditional content.

If you want to learn more about liquid, check out this cheat sheet from Shopify. While Jilt doesn’t support everything in that cheat sheet, it shows you the basic syntax of liquid. If you don’t want to learn it, that’s okay!  You can reach out to Jilt support — they’ll help you get set up.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can I send different emails based on subscription products?
A: Absolutely! By default, templates apply to all subscribers. However, you may want to change your content based on the subscription product — your welcome email is a great use case for this. If so, you can add a “products” rule, and pick which subscription products to target. This limits the subscribers who receive this campaign based on what they’ve purchased. You can use “product collections” rules to target categories as well.

You can then add multiple campaigns to reach other subscribers. For example, if I have three subscription products, I could have three separate welcome campaigns to target each one.

Gifting for WooCommerce Subscriptions makes it possible for one person to purchase a subscription product for someone else. It then shares the subscription between the purchaser and recipient for the rest of its life-cycle.

Customers can choose to purchase subscriptions for others by entering the recipient’s email address on the single product page, cart or checkout pages.

After a subscription has been purchased, Gifting will manage on-boarding the recipient to setup an account with the store.

Usage

Purchasing a gift

There are three pages where a customer can choose to purchase a subscription for someone else:

• the single product page,
• the cart page, and
• the checkout page.

When purchasing a subscription for a recipient, the customer only needs to enter the recipient’s email address.

The single product page

To purchase a subscription for another customer via a product page, the customer can:

1. Go to a subscription product’s Single Product Page.
2. Click the checkbox This is a gift.
3. Enter the recipient’s email address.
4. Click Sign Up Now.

The cart page

To gift a subscription via the cart page, the customer can:

1. Add a subscription product to the cart.
2. Go to the Cart page.
3. Click the checkbox This is a gift.
4. Type in the recipient’s email address.
5. Click Update Cart.

The checkout page

To gift a subscription via the checkout, the customer can:

1. Add a subscription product to the cart.
2. Go to the Checkout page
3. Click the checkbox This is a gift
4. Type in the recipient’s email address
5. Once the checkout form is complete, click Place Order

Recipient account creation

In the event that a recipient does not have an account with your store at the time of being gifted a subscription, an account will be created for them. This is so they can manage their subscription.

Account login details, as well as information about where they can manage their new subscription, is sent to the recipient via email.

The first time the new recipient logs into their account, they will be prompted to enter their shipping address (if applicable) and change their password.

View Subscription page

The recipient is able to view and manage the subscription they received via the My Account > View Subscription page.

Importantly, when visiting the View Subscription page, the recipient will not see any product prices or billing information.

The View Subscription page for a purchaser, and non-gifted subscription, displays all the orders related to that subscription, with details on the amount of those orders.

In order to provide a level of privacy between purchaser and recipient and to make sure recipients cannot see prices for the products purchased for them, recipients cannot visit the subscription’s related orders pages. The parent order will also be hidden, as that order could contain information about other products purchased in the original order not related to the recipient.

The purchaser’s name will also appear under the related order to indicate that they paid for the order.

Completing an order with a subscription gift

Once an order with a subscription gift is placed, customers are given an overview of their order. Here the purchaser can see which products in their order have been purchased and for who.

Store Manager’s View

Processing orders with gift recipients

When an order containing a gifted subscription product is created, the gift recipient email is stored alongside their order line items. When processing orders, this allows store managers to see which line items in an order are being purchased for a recipient.

Add or modify the recipient

Store managers can add and edit a subscription’s recipient from the Edit Subscription administration screen.

If the recipient does not already have an account with your WordPress site, you should add the user via the Users > Add New administration screen before proceeding.

To manually add a recipient to a subscription:

1. Click the Recipient select box.
2. Type the first few letters of the name or email for the user.
3. Click the recipient, after a matching account is loaded.
4. Click Save Subscription.

Once you have added a recipient to the subscription, enter the recipients shipping addresses to be used for subscription shipments if applicable.

To add these details:

1. Click the pencil icon next to Shipping Details.
2. Fill in each shipping address field, entering the recipient’s details.
3. Click Save Subscription.

Shipping address

When a subscription gift is purchased, the shipping address of the subscription is set to the recipient’s shipping address. This streamlines the process for customers proceeding through the checkout when purchasing subscription products for other users.

If the recipient does not have an account or has not set the shipping address on their account at the time of purchasing the subscription, the subscriptions shipping address will not be set and will display as N/A. This will then be updated when the recipient logs in and enters their details via the Account Details page.

In order to maintain a gifted subscription’s shipping address when paying for a renewal order through the checkout, the recipient’s shipping address will automatically be entered into the shipping fields on checkout.

Email notifications

In order to keep recipients up-to-date with their gifted subscriptions, Gifting for WooCommerce Subscriptions sends the following emails:

• New Recipient Account email: Sent to a recipient when an account is created for them. This email is sent instead of the WooCommerce Customer New Account email for accounts created for gifted subscription recipients.
• New Recipient Subscription email: Sent to recipients when an order has been placed which contains subscriptions purchased for them. The email contains the purchaser’s name, email and subscription information including the line items included.
• Processing Renewal Order email: Sent to a recipient when payment has been processed for a subscription now awaiting fulfillment for that billing period.
• Completed Renewal Order email: Sent to a recipient when the subscription renewal order is marked complete, indicating that an item for the renewal period has been shipped.

Like WooCommerce emails, you can enable, disable, edit and customize these emails through settings. To edit emails sent by Gifting for WooCommerce Subscriptions, go to: WooCommerce > Settings > Emails.

Shared Subscription Management

When a subscription product has been purchased for a recipient, both the recipient and purchaser have access to view and manage certain aspects of the subscription over its life-cycle via the My Account > View Subscription page.

The table below outlines the actions recipients and purchasers can make on subscriptions:

WooCommerce Memberships Integration

Gifting for WooCommerce Subscriptions is also compatible with WooCommerce Memberships.

Purchasing subscription products tied to a membership plan for a recipient will grant the benefits of the membership to the recipient rather than the purchaser.

All the features of managing the memberships granted through subscription gifts remain intact – store managers can pause, edit, cancel, and delete memberships granted to recipients just as normal through the WooCommerce > Memberships administration screen.

Downloadable Products

Gifting for WooCommerce Subscriptions includes special handling for downloadable products purchased as a gift.

When a downloadable product is purchased for a recipient, by default the recipient is granted the permissions to download the files attached to that product. It is also possible to grant download permissions to both recipient and purchaser.

To enable dual permissions:

1. Go to the WooCommerce > Settings administration screen
2. Click the Subscriptions tab
3. Scroll down to the Gifting Subscriptions section
4. Click Downloadable Products to enable or disable dual permissions

Similar to the normal process for downloading files, recipients can download the files they have been granted access to from the My Account page and the My Account > View Subscription page.

FAQs

What happens if I delete a recipient’s account in WordPress?

When a website administrator deletes a recipient’s user account in WordPress, the recipient will also be removed from any subscription(s) he or she is associated with.

A warning message will be displayed outlining which subscriptions the user will be removed from.

It’s important to note that the subscription(s) will not be deleted. The subscription(s) will continue to behave as normal for the purchaser once the subscription recipient has been deleted.

How do I restrict the gift field to specific products?

Out-of-the-box Gifting for WooCommerce Subscriptions will enable the option to gift all your subscription products.

To restrict the option for your customers to gift certain products, developers can use the 'wcsg_is_giftable_product' filter.

The following code snippet is an example of how to restrict the gifting option to just a few products by their ID.

	/**
	* Plugin Name: WooCommerce Subscriptions Restrict Gifting to Products
	* Description: Restrict the option to gift to specific products.
	* Author: James Allan
	* Version: 1.0
	* License: GPL v2
	*/
	function wcsrgp_is_giftable_product( $is_giftable, $product ) {
	$giftable_product_ids = array( 24, 12859, 11418 );
	return in_array( $product->get_id() , $giftable_product_ids );
	}
	add_filter( ‘wcsg_is_giftable_product’, ‘wcsrgp_is_giftable_product’, 10, 2 );

FAQs

Can I connect a downloadable product to multiple subscription products?

Yes. WooCommerce Subscription Downloads allows for connecting a downloadable product to multiple subscriptions listed in your store.

Is it possible that I can add more downloads products to a subscription like monthly basis so customers can download it?

When you add a subscription to a downloadable product then anyone with an active subscription will have access to the downloads from that product. So both the users that have already purchased the subscription and any new users that purchase the subscription.

What would happen if the subscription expires / cancelled? Will they get access to the old downloads or they wont get access to any of the downloads?

The downloads will only remain available during the time that the user has an active subscription. So as soon as the subscription is cancelled / suspended or expired the user won’t have access to the downloadable files anymore.
