Title: Woocommerce Subscriptions Question Last modified: October 29, 2020 --- # Woocommerce Subscriptions Question * Resolved [skwtayler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skwtayler/) * (@skwtayler) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-subscriptions-question/) * Hi there, I’m about to build a subscription site but wabt to check if the following is possible. We want to sell a subscription to a software platform as well as physical products. * The user can buy the physical products as a once-off purchase or on a subscription basis. If they buy a product on a subscription basis they automatically get FREE access to the software platform. * Will subscriptions handle this or will I need a few plugins to achieve this result. If so, which ones?

We do have a use case that may help you as guidance for setting things up: * – [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/all-products-for-woocommerce-subscriptions/use-case-offering-subscription-boxes/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/all-products-for-woocommerce-subscriptions/use-case-offering-subscription-boxes/) * If you want to try it, we have a 30-day refund policy. If the product doesn’t work the way you need or you think another product would work better, we are more than happy to provide a full refund. You can read more about our refund policy on our website here: [http://woocommerce.com/refund-policy/](http://woocommerce.com/refund-policy/) * I hope that’s helpful and points you in the right direction. Let us know if you have more questions. * Cheers! * Thread Starter [skwtayler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skwtayler/) * (@skwtayler) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-subscriptions-question/#post-13595800) * This looks like the answer. Would this plugin then allow a free access to the software platform on a subscription basis? * I.e. if I buy product A on subscription I’ll get Product B subscription for free? * [Denys Zaikin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zdenys/) * (@zdenys) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-subscriptions-question/#post-13597048) * > Would this plugin then allow a free access to the software platform on a subscription > basis? * Before I can answer that more accurately, can you clarify if by software platform you mean an external resource or something on your site? * If you want to restrict content on your very site and grant access to only paying users, you may want to evaluate [WooCommerce Memberships](https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-memberships/?aff=10486&cid=1131038). It integrates with WooCommerce Subscriptions indeed. One will add the subscription functionality and the other one will allow access to specific content based on the paid membership plan. * You may want to take a look at this support page about the two extensions working together: [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-memberships-subscriptions-integration/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-memberships-subscriptions-integration/) * > I.e. if I buy product A on subscription I’ll get Product B subscription for > free? * The conditional logic like this can be implemented with [AutomateWoo](https://woocommerce.com/products/automatewoo/?aff=10486&cid=1131038) that allows creating workflows that are triggered by specific actions like the one you mentioned. * Let me know if you still have questions about the above. * Enjoy your day ahead! * Thread Starter [skwtayler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skwtayler/) * (@skwtayler) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-subscriptions-question/#post-13618601) * > Before I can answer that more accurately, can you clarify if by software platform > you mean an external resource or something on your site? * It would be hosted on a sub-domain. I think the app developer would handle that. He’d use a webhook to determine who had subscribed and attribute access based on the subscription. * I guess in summary Woocommerce Subscriptions + your plugin would allow us to achieve that. * [Denys Zaikin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zdenys/) * (@zdenys) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-subscriptions-question/#post-13620768) * Thanks for the clarification. From what you describe, the two plugins above should be a good start for you indeed. * Since it touches a bit on a development topic, I can recommend [the WooCommerce Developer Resources Portal](https://developer.woocommerce.com/) for resources on developing for WooCommerce. * On top of that, you can also visit the [WooCommerce Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/advanced.woocommerce/) or the `#developers` channel of the [WooCommerce Community Slack](https://woocommerce.com/community-slack/). We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for WooCommerce, and many of our developers hang out there, as well. * I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread. * Cheers!
