# Whop subscriptions and memberships on WooCommerce > Can you sell Whop subscriptions or memberships from WooCommerce? What WhopForWoo does (one-time payments), what it doesn't, and three setups that work. Updated: 2026-11-11 ยท Canonical: https://whopforwoo.com/whop-subscriptions-woocommerce **WhopForWoo takes one-time payments for WooCommerce orders; it does not run recurring billing through WooCommerce Subscriptions.** If you need automatic monthly or yearly renewals with Whop, the renewals have to live on Whop's side: a recurring Whop product, sold through a Whop checkout link or Whop's embedded Checkout element. We'd rather say this up front than have you find out after a purchase. Below: what Whop can do for subscriptions, and three setups that work with a WordPress site. *Looking to cancel a Whop subscription you pay for? That is done from your Whop account (website or app). Whop's help center has a "Cancel a Subscription" guide. A store's WooCommerce admin can't cancel it for you.* ## What Whop does for subscriptions On Whop itself, a product can be free, one-time or recurring, with weekly, monthly or yearly billing, free trials and promo codes. Whop retries failed renewals and marks subscriptions past due, and customers get a billing portal to update payment methods, see history and cancel. Webhooks such as `membership.activated` and `membership.updated` tell your server when access starts, renews or ends. ## What WhopForWoo does today - Creates the WooCommerce order first, then charges the exact cart total once. - Confirms the payment server-side (Whop API or signed webhook) before marking the order paid. - Does **not** create Whop recurring plans from WooCommerce products and does **not** process WooCommerce Subscriptions renewals. ## Three setups that work ### 1. Fixed-term access, paid once (WooCommerce + WhopForWoo) Sell "12 months of access" or a season pass as a normal WooCommerce product. Your membership plugin grants access for the period when the order is paid. The customer buys again to renew. Simple, no renewal failures, no surprise charges. Works with any membership plugin that reacts to completed orders. ### 2. Whop recurring product, linked from your site Create a recurring product on Whop and put its checkout link on your pricing page, or embed Whop's Checkout element on a WordPress page. Whop bills renewals. Your site grants access from the `membership.activated` webhook or with Whop's access check. WooCommerce isn't involved in that product. Developer details in [Whop webhooks](https://whopforwoo.com/docs/whop-webhooks) and [Whop API](https://whopforwoo.com/docs/whop-api). ### 3. Two gateways Keep a gateway that supports WooCommerce Subscriptions for recurring products, and use WhopForWoo for one-time products. WooCommerce shows only the payment methods a product type supports, so customers aren't offered Whop on a subscription cart. (Check this with your subscription extension; WhopForWoo declares support for products only.) ![Whop dashboard creating a product with recurring monthly pricing](https://whopforwoo.com/img/whop-recurring-product.png) ## Comparison | | Fixed-term, one-time | Whop recurring product | Second gateway | |---|---|---|---| | Automatic renewals | No | Yes, by Whop | Yes, by the other gateway | | Checkout | WooCommerce + embedded Whop | Whop link or Checkout element | WooCommerce | | Access control | Your membership plugin | Webhook or access check | Your subscription extension | | Effort | Low | Medium (webhook code) | Low to medium | ## Pros and cons **Pros** - Whop's subscription engine is mature: retries, past-due handling, billing portal, trials. - One-time fixed-term passes avoid renewal disputes, which help keep reserves low. - No plan IDs to sync for one-time WooCommerce products. **Cons** - No WooCommerce Subscriptions renewals through WhopForWoo today. - With option 2, subscriber data and billing live on Whop, not in WooCommerce. - Whop prohibits offers that promise access with no end date: always state the period. - Recurring support depends on the payment method: crypto, EU bank transfers, Swish and MobilePay are one-time only in Whop's docs. ## Pricing Solo: $129 one-time payment, updates included.

No. WhopForWoo charges one-time payments for WooCommerce orders. It does not renew WooCommerce Subscriptions automatically. ### Can Whop do recurring payments? Yes. On Whop, a product can have recurring pricing (weekly, monthly or yearly), with renewals, failed-payment retries and a billing portal where customers update their card or cancel. ### How do I sell a membership from my WordPress site with Whop? Create a recurring product on Whop and link to its checkout or embed Whop's Checkout element on a page, then grant access from the membership.activated webhook or with Whop's access check. ### How do I cancel a Whop subscription as a customer? Customers cancel from their Whop account on the website or mobile app. Whop's help center has a 'Cancel a Subscription' guide. The seller cannot cancel it from WooCommerce. ### Can I sell a fixed-term membership with a one-time payment? Yes. A one-time WooCommerce order paid with WhopForWoo can unlock access for a stated period (for example 12 months) through your membership plugin. Whop requires the access period to be disclosed, so never promise access with no end date. ## Related - [Whop for SaaS: sell software with Whop license keys](https://whopforwoo.com/whop-for-saas): Whop for SaaS explained: access checks for web apps, license keys for downloadable software, and how we license our own WordPress plugin with Whop. - [Whop for courses: host on Whop or sell from WordPress?](https://whopforwoo.com/whop-for-courses): Whop for courses compared: the Whop Courses app vs a WordPress course plugin with Whop payments through WooCommerce.
