Follow-up question:

Now that I’ve tested this several times with subscriptions (both WooCommerce and others) and various payment gateways/wallets (both yours and othes), I’ve run into one major downside that actually causes me to not pursue this option any more:

Each daily renewal creates a full WooCommerce order. This order triggers workflow, shows up in the user’s “order list” on My Account page, takes up database space and generally clutters up the system in a way not realized when I first was looking to find some sort of payment gateway that worked with Woocommerce Subscription renewals via points (or funds like in the wallet)

So, if you know of a way to accomplish the following with your plugin(s), I’d be very interested, and I would bet others would be as well.

The basic goal is to be able to run a point-funded subscription service where customers pre-purchase point packs, and the service is provided daily. Customers can start/stop the service, and as long as the service is active, it consumes points per day. However, the point decrement should integrate with point plugin and not create an order in WooCommerce.

Given:
– Customer can buy “point packs” (this is already achievable with several available plugins) where they spend actual dollars via existing payment gateways (stripe, paypal, etc) and “points” get deposited into “account”.
– Volume discount applies. One point for $1. 30 points for $15. 90 points for 30. 270 points for $75 This would be specified on Product settings
– Store has WooCommerce subscriptions installed (or similar subscription plugin)
– Store has some points plugin installed

Need:
– Ability to have a daily subscription defined in subscription plugin that has a daily renewal
– The renewal is funded through a definable point price. IE, “Basic Service” is 1 point per day. “Plus Service” might be 3 points per day. This would represent the “list price” and also the “maximum price” for the service.
– The act of renewing would NOT create an order in WooCommerce
– Instead, it integrates with the points plugin by creating a “remove funds” call of the points plugin. This call should use the point plugin’s published endpoint to decrement a point and add a reason, and the point plugin handles the “history” and audit aspect.
– For chart/refund/cancel, whatever the subscription plugin supports with common payment gateways should apply. This is already published by the subscription plugin documentation

Wow, thank you. I’m testing it out now and so far, everything you mentioned makes sense. I am able to create products to fund the wallet, and create a subscription that can use virtual funds only.

I don’t know if it’s a setting I’m missing or not, but when I tried to check out with a subscription, I get a message

Some items in your order must be paid with your Virtual Wallet.

I have the following set:
– global setting for only real money to be allowed
– subscription product override for only virtual money to be allowed on that product
– Wallet credit can’t be bought with the wallet
– Partial payment not enabled
– woovirtualWallet set up as payment gateway,a nd it’s enabled (enable virtual wallet payments)
– wallet option shows up on checkout with no other payment (expected)
– Allow subscription payment enabled: (Virtual money can be used for recurring payment with WooCommerce Subscription plugin.)
– Show balance enabled: (The payment method title includes the customer’s wallet balance.)

I add the product to my cart, and I see the product, setup fee, subscription, recurring total and current balance. I click the ‘I have read adn agree to website” and click Sign up Now button but it shows the red error

Some items in your order must be paid with your Virtual Wallet

I can’t see what in the order might be causing that because only one item is in the cart, and it’s an item that requires virtual wallet. There’s only one payment option, and that’s the woovirtual wallet, which also shows a positive balance.
