To create a subscription product in WooCommerce, install the WooCommerce Subscriptions extension. Once active, go to Products > Add New, enter your product details, and under the Product Data dropdown, select Simple Subscription or Variable Subscription. Set the subscription price, billing interval (e.g., every month), and optional trial period or sign-up fee. Configure stock, shipping, and downloadable settings if applicable. Publish the product, and it will now appear as a recurring item on your store. Customers can subscribe and get billed automatically based on the set schedule, enabling steady income and easier customer retention.

To add a shopping cart to your WordPress website, install WooCommerce. Go to Plugins → Add New, search “WooCommerce,” install, and activate it. Then run the setup wizard to set currency, shipping, and payments. WooCommerce automatically creates key pages like Cart, Checkout, and My Account. To show the cart link in your menu, go to Appearance → Menus and add the Cart page. You can also add a cart icon using a theme option, WooCommerce block, or a plugin like a mini cart widget. For block themes, insert the Mini Cart block in the header template.

The best server for WooCommerce is a fast, stable Linux host built for WordPress. Choose managed WooCommerce hosting if you want easy setup, backups, security, and expert support. Look for PHP 8.3+, MySQL 8/MariaDB 10.6+, HTTPS, and at least 256MB WordPress memory (512MB+ for larger stores). NVMe SSD storage, Redis object cache, page caching, and a CDN improve cart and checkout speed. For small to mid stores, providers like SiteGround, Kinsta, WP Engine, or Hostinger work well. For high traffic, use scalable cloud/VPS with caching, staging, uptime monitoring, and enough PHP workers to handle peak checkout loads during sales events.

To create a membership in WooCommerce, install a membership plugin (commonly WooCommerce Memberships) and activate it. Then go to WooCommerce → Memberships → Membership Plans and create a new plan. Set rules to restrict content, products, pages, or discounts for members only. Next, create a product that grants access (one-time or subscription) and link it to the plan. Publish the plan, test by purchasing the product, and confirm the member can access restricted pages and pricing. You can manage members from the Memberships menu anytime.
