Support » Fixing WordPress » Customizable Monthly Subscription Product

  • I am creating a site for a business that sells cookies. They have 2 subscription products, 6 count and 12 count. Each month the customer can choose if they want one of each flavor, only two flavors, or random flavors to go inside their 6 or 12 count boxes.

    How do I set that up? Is it a subscription or membership?
    Is there a way for the customer to select between those options once inside the 6 or 12 count product?

    What happens if in any given month the user makes no selection at all? If they receive nothing, then it’s more like a membership. If they by default get what they ordered last or some standard assortment, then it’s a subscription. IMO anyway, it’s a matter of semantics. As long as the customer understands what they are committing to you can call it what you like.

    You could create a form that is essentially like a one off ordering form. If need be, it could dynamically change fields based on whether a 6 or 12 count was selected. The selections could be saved with the customer’s other subscription data.

    You can also have WP send out reminder emails on a periodic basis that their order will ship soon and that they should make a new selection if they so desire.

    This all could be custom coded of course, but certain elements could likely be accomplished with existing plugins to minimize how much custom coding is needed. It’s unlikely you’d find one plugin to do it all, but certain needs could be met by existing plugins, with custom coding to fill in the gaps.
