It focuses on the thing that actually costs subscription stores money: **renewals that silently fail.** #### Free features * **Self-healing renewal engine** — an idempotent claim lock (no double charges) + a watchdog that re-queues any renewal the WordPress queue silently drops, with a WP-Cron fallback. * **Your own Stripe checkout** — cards collected under _your_ Stripe account (Stripe Elements, classic + block checkout) and charged off-session for renewals. No separate Stripe plugin required. * **Customer self-service** — cancel / pause / resume and a one-click card-update flow from My Account. * **Basic MRR + at-risk dashboard** — see your recurring revenue and overdue renewals at a glance. * **Compliance by default** — click-to-cancel + an EU Withdrawal Button during the 14-day window. * **No transaction fees.** We never take a cut of your subscriptions. #### Upgrade to Pro The paid edition adds the revenue-recovery and growth features: smart-retry **dunning** with branded recovery emails, **full Insights** (churn, LTV, recovered revenue),** card-expiry reminders**, and subscription **switching & proration**. Details: [asterisforwoocommerce.com/subscriptions](https://asterisforwoocommerce.com/subscriptions) This plugin requires WooCommerce. ### External services This plugin connects to **Stripe** to process payments. It is required for taking card payments and charging subscription renewals. * **What it sends:** at checkout and on each renewal, the plugin sends the order amount, currency, a customer/payment-method reference, and order/subscription identifiers to Stripe’s API (https://api.stripe.com). Card details are collected directly by Stripe’s hosted Elements script loaded from https://js.stripe.com and are never seen by this plugin or your server. * **When:** at checkout, on each renewal, on card updates, and when verifying incoming Stripe webhooks. * **Provider:** Stripe Payments. Terms: https://stripe.com/legal — Privacy: https:// stripe.com/privacy No data is sent to Stripe until you configure Stripe API keys and enable the gateway. This free edition does not contact any Asteris server. ## Screenshots [⌊The Subscriptions dashboard — live MRR and at-risk renewals, with the watchdog's silent-drop recoveries, right inside WordPress.⌉⌊The Subscriptions dashboard — live MRR and at-risk renewals, with the watchdog's silent-drop recoveries, right inside WordPress.⌉[ The Subscriptions dashboard — live MRR and at-risk renewals, with the watchdog’s silent-drop recoveries, right inside WordPress.

Class names are prefixed (Asteris_Subs_) to avoid collisions. #### 1.1.0 * Reliability + correctness pass: off-session charging is now keyed to the billing period (no double-charge when a renewal is retried), network-timeout outcomes are reconciled via webhook/watchdog instead of being treated as failures, webhook de-duplication is atomic, and subscriptions are created on payment-complete ( not only on “processing”). * Customer self-service: cancellation now asks for confirmation (no accidental one-click cancel), per-status labels and colours are clearer, the card on file is shown, on-hold subscriptions get an “update card & retry” action, and pre- renewal reminders let you update the card or cancel before the charge. * Product pages now disclose free trials and sign-up fees before purchase; customer emails follow your store’s brand colour. * Refreshed admin design, clearer Test/Live Stripe settings with show/hide for keys, and stronger at-rest secret encryption. #### 1.0.0 * First stable release of the free edition. Reliable self-healing renewals + watchdog recovery, your own Stripe checkout, customer self-service, compliant cancellation + EU withdrawal, basic MRR, and the hardening / compliance pass. #### 0.2.0-alpha.3 * Hardening + compliance pass: more reliable renewals and recovery, SCA handling that never cancels a good card, GDPR data export/erase, pre-purchase auto-renewal disclosure, accurate renewal tax, and multisite-safe uninstall. #### 0.2.0-alpha.2 * Initial WordPress.org release of the free edition. ## Meta * Version **1.2.2** * Last updated **5 days ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.2 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [memberships](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/memberships/)[Recurring payments](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/recurring-payments/) [stripe](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/stripe/)[subscriptions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/subscriptions/) [woocommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/woocommerce/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/asteris-subscriptions/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
