Subscription Settings #
This section enables automatic recurring billing for this product.
Enable Subscription Checkbox #
When CHECKED:
- Product uses DMSI DDLS’s subscription tracking system
- Subscription record created with renewal date
- Admin notified when renewal is due
- License extended when renewal order is paid
When UNCHECKED:
- One-time purchase
- Customer must manually renew by purchasing again
- No renewal tracking
Important: DMSI DDLS has its own subscription tracking system built-in, so you don’t need WooCommerce Subscriptions extension.
