WooCommerce subscriptions work by charging customers on a recurring schedule, like weekly, monthly, or yearly. You create a subscription product, set the billing period, price, and optional trial or sign-up fee. When a customer buys it, an order is created and a subscription record is saved in WooCommerce. The payment gateway then processes automatic renewals on each billing date. WooCommerce updates the subscription status (active, on-hold, cancelled) and generates renewal orders. Customers can manage renewals and cancel from their account page, based on your settings.
