Release history
- Gifting security improvements:
- Early renewal security and double-charge protections:
- Paying pending or failed renewal orders through checkout now preserves product subtotals before tax and keeps the order's coupon discounts in sync with checkout.
- Category-restricted coupons no longer discount products outside their selected categories when customers pay a pending subscription order.
- Customers who log in at checkout while paying a renewal are no longer charged twice for the product when their cart also held the same subscription product added separately.
- The 'woocommerce_subscriptions_disable_manual_renewal_stock_validation' filter once again lets customers pay a manual renewal for an out of stock product.
- A subscription switch the store no longer allows is now refused when the order is placed, on the block checkout as well as the classic one.
- Adding a cart to an existing subscription no longer fails with "Your cart cannot be added to subscription" when the cart item is on a plan created in the Subscriptions plans screens since 9.0.0.
- Percentage-based add-ons are now charged on top of subscription plans that set their own price, instead of being dropped from the cart total.
- Subscription plan prices on Product Bundles and Composite Products no longer show placeholder values on stores where the bundle or composite script loads before ours.
- Removing a line item by link now follows the same rules as the remove control in My Account > Subscriptions. The last remaining item, items on a subscription that is not active, on hold or pending, and items an extension marks as unremovable, such as a bundle's child items, can no longer be removed this way.
- Undoing an item removal from My Account no longer fails with a critical error on some stores with a persistent object cache, which left the subscription total and later renewals at the reduced amount.
- Stale download permissions for removed subscription products are now cleared when permissions are regenerated.
- A subscription switch that keeps the same product, such as a quantity change, no longer removes the customer's access to its downloadable files.
- Saving a product's Subscription Downloads links now only changes links to products you have permission to edit. Changes to any other product are refused and its existing links are kept.
- Saving a subscription product whose linked downloadable product has since been deleted no longer fails with a fatal error, and clears the stale link.
- Subscription status notes created by the Cancel bulk action now identify the administrator who performed it instead of appearing as system notes.
- Sorting the Subscriptions list by Last Order Date no longer takes tens of seconds on stores with thousands of subscriptions.
- Setting a subscription or renewal order line item's quantity to zero in the admin no longer fails with a fatal error on stores that enter prices inclusive of tax.
- Saving an order or subscription in the admin can no longer change the recorded base location tax on another order's line items.
- Linking a subscription to a parent order that does not exist, or that you cannot edit, now shows an error instead of a fatal error or a silent link.
- The Pa
- A recipient paying a renewal or renewing early through the checkout no longer replaces the purchaser's billing name, email and address on the subscription. The shipping address still updates to what the recipient enters.
- On the classic checkout, a recipient now sees their own billing details instead of the purchaser's. Previously, submitting the form unchanged saved the purchaser's contact onto the recipient's own account.
- Saving My Account > Account details with the renewals billing contact box ticked no longer writes the recipient's name and email onto subscriptions gifted to them, which sent the purchaser's renewal invoices to the recipient.
- A recipient can no longer open or submit the billing address form for a gifted subscription. They can still change its shipping address.
- When a downloadable product is removed from a gifted subscription, or the subscription is switched away from it, the recipient's download links now stop working. Previously they kept working.
- Two early renewal requests arriving together for the same subscription, such as a double-click on Pay now or a browser prefetching the link, no longer charge the payment method on file twice for one billing period.
- A Pay now link stops working once its renewal order has been paid or is awaiting payment confirmation, so following it again does not charge again. Links issued before this release also stop working. Opening the subscription from My Account > Subscriptions issues a fresh one.
- An early renewal link that was not issued in the customer's own logged-in session, including the one in a renewal reminder email, now takes them to their subscription to choose whether to renew, instead of emptying their cart and sending them straight to checkout.
View changelog
- We've redesigned the WooCommerce Subscriptions settings page — a single-column layout with clearer labels and inline help:
- When a subscription's scheduled event - a renewal payment, payment retry, trial end, expiration, end of prepaid term or customer notification - is cleared and not replaced, the failed-scheduled-actions log now records which subscription and event were affected and when the event should have run. Previously nothing in the WooCommerce logs identified the subscription, so a subscription left with a date and no scheduled action could only be found by hand.
- Early renewal payments are now on by default on stores that never saved the "Allow early renewal payments" setting. Turn it off under WooCommerce > Settings > Subscriptions.
- "Turn off automatic payments" now requires "Accept Manual Renewals" to be enabled.
- "Suspensions per Billing Period" is now a number field instead of a dropdown.
- "Switch Button Text" now defaults to "Switch" for new stores.
- Gifting is now set per product instead of storewide. A background migration carries the storewide default onto existing products, so they keep their current behavior; new products are off by default.
- A new bulk edit action on the Products screen enables or disables gifting across multiple products at once.
- A product name containing HTML is now shown as plain text on the Subscriptions by Product report, instead of being rendered into the page.
- A finished Subscriptions health check scan now reports how many subscriptions it went through, matching the subscriptions list, instead of the smaller number of subscriptions the checks shortlisted.
- Visiting a change payment method link without its 'key' query argument no longer emits an "Undefined array key" PHP warning.
- An order-pay URL carrying an empty order key no longer triggers a fatal error when the order it names does not exist.
- On stores that display prices including tax, recurring totals in the block cart and checkout now note the tax included in the total, matching the "Total due today" row.
- The recipient of a gifted subscription is no longer shown the remove item control on My Account > Subscriptions. The control was never usable by them — removing a line item has always required the subscription's owner.
- A single product that fails to migrate no longer stops the All Products for Subscriptions product data migration for the whole catalog. Products it cannot migrate are logged and may be left at the default "Sell one-time only" mode; the completion notice reports how many failed with a link to the log so they can be checked and set up by hand.
- On stores using high-performance order storage, the Orders screen now warns before trashing a parent order that will also trash its linked subscriptions.
- Restored automatic completion of zero-total subscription switch orders placed through the block checkout on WooCommerce 10.9 and newer.
- Scheduled downloadable products linked to a subscription product now grant download permissions to existing subscribers when published at their scheduled time, instead of only when published manually from the admin.
- Saving a subscription product with no linked downloadable products no longer logs a PHP warning.
- Scheduled renewal payments no longer fail with a fatal error when another plugin checks an order's status while the renewal order is created in the background, which left subscriptions on hold and customers uncharged.
- The subscription plans script now loads only on pages that can show subscription options, instead of on every page of the store.
- Selecting a subscription plan inside a theme's quick view modal updates the price and the add-to-cart button again, as it did before 9.0.0.
- Paying for a pending or failed switch order from My Account or an emailed invoice link now completes the switch, instead of creating a second subscription alongside the one being switched.
- On stores with prices entered inclusive of tax, paying for a renewal through checkout now charges the correct total for subscriptions with a manual discount, instead of applying the discount inflated by the tax rate and under-charging the renewal.
- Subscriptions created from the admin screen now record whether the store enters prices inclusive of tax, so their orders are charged and discounted at the right total instead of treating tax-inclusive prices as tax-exclusive.
- Line items bought under a plan set to "Do not stop until cancelled" before All Products for Subscriptions was merged into Subscriptions in 9.0.0 are matched to that plan again. They had stopped being recognized as subscriptions, so recurring and sign-up fee coupons were rejected as not applicable to the product, plan pricing was not applied, and a customer could switch to the plan they were already on instead of being told they cannot switch to the same subscription. On affected stores, switch quotes for these subscriptions now use the purchased plan's billing schedule and free tr

- Removed the onboarding notice and walkthrough shown after activating Subscriptions, which pointed merchants at the "Simple subscription" and "Variable subscription" product types — both off by default since 9.0.0.
- Invalid subscription switch payment links no longer attach an unrelated order to checkout.
- Order fields containing serialized text now retain their original value when copied to subscriptions on HPOS stores.
- On stores using legacy (posts) order storage, restoring a subscription's parent order from the trash now makes the subscription reappear on the customer's My Account > Subscriptions page.
- A subscription plan's sign-up fee shown on the product page (the "Sign-up fee:" line, plan option rows and pre-selected plan details) now passes through the 'woocommerce_subscriptions_product_sign_up_fee' filter, so currency and multi-currency plugins can convert it to match the cart, checkout and charged amount.
- Deactivating or updating WooCommerce no longer triggers a site-wide fatal error for up to an hour while Subscriptions' cached WooCommerce version check is still fresh.
- Coupons are now correctly applied when paying for a renewal via the Checkout block (previously the discount showed in the total, but was not deducted from the amount charged).
- Renewal carts now calculate the correct total when the subscription used a recurring percentage coupon. On tax-inclusive stores, sub-cent rounding could make the coupon's discount look manually applied and produce a wrong total.
- Setting a yearly "Align Renewal" date on a subscription plan no longer silently discards the alignment when only a month is chosen, or fails with an invalid-date error after the month is switched to one with fewer days.
- On stores using legacy (posts) order storage, restoring a trashed subscription now returns it to its recorded status (e.g. cancelled) instead of pending, matching the behavior on High-Performance Order Storage.
- Enabling web cron support for the first time now generates the web cron URL on the first save, instead of repeatedly asking to save changes without ever producing the URL.
- The "New web cron URL generated" confirmation after generating a web cron URL now shows only once, instead of re-appearing on every subsequent save of the Subscriptions settings screen.
- Storewide subscription plans now appear on the WooCommerce > Settings > Subscriptions screen when the admin language translates "WooCommerce" into non-Latin characters (e.g. Hebrew) — the screen previously showed an empty, unstyled table even though the plans were still saved.
- Upgrading a subscription that was purchased through a resubscribe now credits the amount already paid for the current period, instead of quoting the full prorated price of the new plan.
- On stores that prorate sign-up fees, switching a subscription purchased through a resubscribe now charges the new plan's sign-up fee in full, instead of wiping it with a credit for a sign-up fee that was never paid.
- A stale edit page no longer overwrites the billing schedule after a subscription changes status. Saving an affected Active subscription now clears its stale cancelled date, allowing the remaining schedule to be repaired from the edit screen.
- The My Account > View Subscription page no longer triggers a PHP deprecation notice for subscriptions purchased with PayPal Standard.
- Classic cart and checkout no longer overstate the "due today" item subtotal for a prorated subscription switch or a synced product billed on a later date.
- Checkout no longer saves the order an extra time when the cart contains no subscription switch — previously a redundant database write on every checkout.
- Improved the dedicated Action Scheduler queue debug log so routine skipped runs no longer read as failures.
- Clearer error message on the Subscriptions settings page when "Prorate until the next billing date" is saved without choosing a product type to prorate.
- Hardened permission and ownership checks across subscription bulk actions, the REST API, and several AJAX and My Account request handlers.
- Dev: Deprecated WC_Subscriptions_Cart::get_formatted_product_subtotal() and get_due_today_subtotal() - the "due today" item subtotal now renders on the 'woocommerce_cart_item_subtotal' filter, and Subscriptions no longer filters 'woocommerce_cart_product_subtotal', so code calling WC()->cart->get_product_subtotal() directly gets standard WooCommerce output.
