YITH Membership: YITH WooCommerce Subscription

YITH WooCommerce Subscription

Thanks to the integration with YITH WooCommerce Subscription, you can let users purchase memberships with a subscription plan.

If you want to set a new membership with a subscription plan, you have to follow the same configuration process described in this page, but pay attention to the set duration.

We suggest to keep it disabled, so the renewal time and the membership status will be entirely handled through the subscription plugin.

The price and billing cycle of the membership product can be set up from the metabox option in the product:

For further information about the correct configuration of a subscription plan linked to a membership, please read the official guide of YITH WooCommerce Subscription.

As mentioned above, the status of the membership will be managed automatically by YITH WooCommerce Subscription, so when the subscription status changes, the status of the linked membership will change accordingly.
In the following table you can see the correspondence between the statuses of the two plugins, so that you can understand better which statuses the membership can have following the status of the subscription.

Subscription status	Membership status
active	active or resumed
paused	paused
resume	resumed
overdue	suspended
trial	active
cancelled	cancelled or expiring
expired	expired
suspended	suspended

When the subscription is cancelled automatically by the system (e.g., a failed payment), memberships get the cancelled status. If administrators or users decide to cancel on purpose a subscription plan, the membership will get the “expiring”status, and its expiration date will be the same of the subscription’s one. In this way, memberships will get the “cancelled” status the same day in which the subscription plan will have it too.

Pay attention when you delete a subscription plan from the system: if this is linked to a membership of the shop, the membership will get “cancelled” status.
