A subscription is a recurring payment for a product or service delivered over time. You pay weekly, monthly, or yearly, and access continues while payments stay active. Examples include a monthly coffee delivery or software plan. A membership is access to a club, community, or gated content with member benefits. It may be recurring or one-time, but it focuses on access, perks, and rules. Examples include VIP content, discounts, courses, or member-only support. In WooCommerce, Subscriptions manages recurring billing and renewals. Memberships control who can access content, products, or pricing. Many stores use both together for the best results.

To add a booking calendar, pick a scheduling tool that fits your website. For WordPress, install a booking plugin like Amelia, Bookly, or Simply Schedule Appointments. Create a service, set working hours, time slots, buffers, and holidays. Add staff members if needed and connect Google Calendar to avoid double bookings. Enable payments with Stripe or PayPal, or keep bookings free. Customize form fields, notifications, and reminder emails or SMS. Finally, place the calendar on any page using a block, shortcode, or embed link, then test a full booking. Check mobile view, confirm timezone, and verify cancellation and reschedule links work.

You can send bulk email to WooCommerce customers using built-in tools or email marketing services. First, decide who you want to email, like all customers or recent buyers. In WordPress, you can use WooCommerce email plugins to select customers by order status, product purchased, or date range. For better delivery and tracking, use tools like Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Brevo, or MailPoet. Export customers from WooCommerce, then import them into your email tool. Create a clean email template, add personalization, and include an unsubscribe link. Always test first, then send in batches to avoid spam issues.

To add a booking system, define what you’re booking: appointments, rentals, classes, or events. Choose software that supports your needs: time-slot booking, capacity limits, deposits, coupons, and staff schedules. On WordPress, install a booking plugin or WooCommerce Bookings; on other sites, use an embed from Calendly, SimplyBook.me, or Acuity. Set availability rules, blackout dates, time zones, and minimum notice. Connect payments (Stripe/PayPal), email/SMS reminders, and calendar sync (Google/Outlook). Embed the booking form on key pages, add a clear CTA button, and run test bookings end-to-end. Track conversions, review no-shows, and optimize your confirmation messages regularly weekly.

To create a catalog in WooCommerce, first add your products normally in Products → Add New. Upload clear images, write short descriptions, and set categories and tags for easy browsing. Then create a “Shop” or “Catalog” page and set it as the shop page in WooCommerce → Settings → Products. If you want a catalog without checkout, install a catalog mode plugin and hide prices or the Add to Cart button. Also create category pages and add product filters for better navigation. Finally, add the Shop page to your main menu so visitors can browse easily.
