You are now ready to accept payments through Beyond Pay Gateway on your WooCommerce store! WooCommerce Subscriptions Integration Beyond Pay for WooCommerce offers automated recurring billing functionality through integration with the official WooCommerce Subscriptions Extension. The Subscriptions Extension must be purchased from WooCommerce before recurring payments can be accepted with Beyond Pay for WooCommerce. Setting up your subscriptions is simple: Create a subscription product in the Products module of WooCommerce and define the price and terms: e.g., “$5.90 every 2nd month”. As customers purchase subscription products on your store, they will be prompted to create a user account and save their payment method on file. When the payment is due, Beyond Pay for WooCommerce will automatically charge the card on file without you having to do anything. The status of each scheduled payment is reported back to your WooCommerce Subscription extension in WooCommerce, whether successful or failed. Your customers can change their payment method on the WooCommerce “my-account” page. Here, customers can also click the “Renew Now” button and pay their subscription ahead of the due date. All card on file data is securely tokenized by Beyond Pay and never touches your server.
