Move off YITH WooCommerce Subscription.
YITH lists their subscription plugin at €199.99 a year. Milo does the recurring billing for nothing and charges one percent on payments instead, so a quiet month costs you nothing at all.
What you stop paying
€199.99
a year, renewed every year
The Milo engine is free on WordPress.org. We earn one percent on payments processed through Milo Payments, and nothing at all if you keep your own gateway.
Moves with you
- Subscriptions, with their status and their history
- Next payment dates, exactly as scheduled
- Billing period, interval, trial and sign-up fee
- The customer and their billing address
- Related orders, kept linked to the subscription
Stays where it is
- Your gateway account, which is yours and stays untouched
- Saved payment tokens, when the gateway is one Milo speaks
- The old plugin, deactivated rather than deleted, until you say so
Four steps, and a staging copy first.
01
Install Milo Subscriptions on a staging copy.
02
Run the migrator, which reads the existing subscriptions in place.
03
Spot check the dates and the amounts against YITH.
04
Switch over, and keep YITH installed until the first renewal cycle has run.
Worth knowing
Billing is the one part of a store where a surprise costs money. These are the things we would want told to us.
- Waiting for one full renewal cycle before deleting anything is the advice we would give for any billing change, ours included.
- The eleven transactional emails, the customer portal and plan switching are in the free Milo core rather than sold separately.
Try it on staging. That is the whole risk.
The migrator reads before it writes, and tells you what it found first. Nothing is deleted, and the old plugin stays installed until you decide otherwise.
