What your Subscription Shipping Schedule plugin does

A focused plugin that separates how often a customer pays from how often you ship. It creates a shipment for each delivery date inside the billing period.

Separate schedules
Set billing to yearly and shipping to monthly, or any other pair.
Shipment per delivery
Each delivery date creates a shipment order with the right items and address.
Delivery calendar
See upcoming shipments for every subscriber in one list.
One settings page
Its own item in your WordPress admin menu, so options are easy to find and change.
Good to know: It covers one billing schedule and one shipping schedule per product. Choosing different products on each delivery is a separate build.

Tell Ora what you need. Check the plan before you pay.

Describe your WooCommerce Subscription Shipping Schedule Plugin in your own words. Ora replies with a plan and a price. Nothing is built until you approve it.

Example request

How to set up Subscription Shipping Schedule

Here is how to get a Subscription Shipping Schedule plugin from idea to working plugin on your site. Most of the work is a few decisions, and these steps walk through them.

1. Decide the two schedules
Choose how often the customer pays and how often you ship, for example yearly and monthly, and which products use it.
2. Plan what each shipment contains
Say whether every shipment has the same items, and which address is used if the customer moves.
3. Describe it to Ora
Paste your own version of the example request on this page, or start from one of the examples, and change the details. Ora replies with a plan and a price, and nothing is built until you approve it.
4. Test on the practice site
Buy a test subscription on the practice site, move the dates forward and check shipments are created on each date without a second charge.

Questions

Is there a free WooCommerce Subscription Shipping Schedule plugin?

Free ones may exist. Build your own when you want exact behavior and nothing extra.

Does the customer pay each month?

No. They pay on the billing schedule you choose, such as once a year. The shipping schedule only controls when shipments are created.

What if the customer cancels?

Remaining shipments stop at the date you set, and you choose whether to refund unshipped months.

Do I need WooCommerce?

Yes. This plugin is built for WooCommerce stores and works with your products and payment gateway. You don't need to buy the paid WooCommerce Subscriptions extension from WooCommerce.

Can I get a refund?

The trial fee is refunded automatically if a build fails. A purchased plugin can be refunded within 14 days if it doesn't do what the approved plan said and Ora can't fix it, as long as it hasn't been downloaded or installed.
