The MageDelight Subscribe Now Pro extension drastically improves the shopping experience on an ecommerce store by allowing customers to buy products and services on a recurring basis. The recurring payment model is mostly applied to newspapers and magazine subscriptions and other products that come in new editions, as well as daily usage goods, like toiletries, water, pantry staples, and others. With the MageDelight tool, you can track which items customers prefer to buy regularly and offer subscriptions for a wider range of products.

The MageDelight subscriptions and recurring payments Magento 2 module enables merchants to create flexible subscription plans in line with their business model and provide customers with lucrative conditions for buying products at regular intervals. One of the options is to let your website visitors select the start date of their subscription. Also, online shoppers get the possibility to purchase regular and subscription products at the same time. Moreover, it is possible to change a billing interval and subscription start date on the shopping cart page.

Another improvement to the frontend user experience is the management of subscription profiles under a dedicated tab in the customer account, where registered users can check all created subscriptions. The MageDelight recurring payment Magento 2 module allows customers to skip, pause, and cancel particular subscriptions whenever necessary. They can also modify the number of purchased items, payment intervals, and billing and shipping addresses for each subscription separately.

As for store administrators, they can leverage advanced tools for managing subscriptions in the backend. The Subscribe Now Pro extension allows creating orders for subscription products from the admin panel, which is not possible with default Magento. Another beneficial admin feature is the ability to define the maximum number of products available for a subscription order.

Furthermore, the MageDelight module provides an informative dashboard for tracking subscriptions. The dashboard gathers statistics on the number of active, paused, and complete subscriptions, as well as orders of subscription products. Besides, you can understand which of your subscription products are most popular among customers using the subscription report interface. Moreover, the subscriptions and recurring payments module by MageDelight comes with advanced reports that let you track and analyze orders for subscription products during specified time intervals and plan stock replenishment for required items.

Due to the Magento Vault integration, you can offer your customers a wide range of payment options. The Subscribe Now Pro extension supports some of the most widely used payment gateways, like CyberSource, Stripe, Authorize.net, Braintree, Paypal Payflow, First Data, Moneris, and others. Besides, the subscription and recurring payments module by MageDelight supports offline payment methods, such as Cash on Delivery and Check/Money Order. Thus, you provide customers with the flexibility of payments, improving their user experience and increasing loyalty to your store.

Moreover, the extension is compatible with MageDelight eWallet for Magento 2. This payment option enables customers to use their e-wallet balance to pay for products purchased on subscription, including the possibility to pay in installments. E-wallet also allows payments without saving credit card details, making the purchasing process smoother and more convenient. Also, note that MageDelight offers integration with other eWallet extensions on request, as well as customization of other integrated payment gateways. 

Now, let’s explore the Magento 2 subscription and recurring payments extension’s functionality in more detail by looking at its backend interface.

Backend

Configuration

The settings of the MageDelight Subscribe Now Pro extension are located under Stores -> Settings -> Configuration -> MageDelight -> Subscribe Now.

The module’s configuration is divided into 4 tabs: General Configuration, Product Subscription Configuration, Product Subscription Email Configuration, and Pro Settings.

In the first tab, you can see the current version of the module installed on your store and enable the subscription functionality. Next, you create subscription intervals with a specified type (Day, Week, Month, or Year), number of payments, and labels. Here, you can also set the maximum number of failed payment attempts that will suspend the recurring profile.

In the same tab with settings, you select payment gateways and shipping methods that will be allowed for subscriptions. Besides, you decide whether to allow customers to update billing cycles for their subscriptions and update the next occurrence date.

Then, decide whether to allow customers to change their billing and shipping address and specify the number of days before the next payment that will pause updates in the customer profile. Next, you can enable using a product’s current price when placing an order on subscription. The “Send Reminder Of Occurrence Before” setting lets you define the number of days before an occurrence for sending email notifications. Also, you can specify the period for sending an e-wallet topup reminder. Here, you can also set cron job frequency and start time to generate orders for subscription profiles.

In Product Subscription Configuration, you specify the maximum quantity of subscriptions per product. Here, you can also type in a custom text shown next to products available for subscriptions on the product listing page, as well as header and content for subscription summary block on the cart page (if it is enabled). You can also enable free shipping for subscription orders and decide whether to let customers skip, pause, and cancel subscriptions in their profiles.

The following section lets you choose an email sender and template for sending notifications to customers on the new subscription, subscription update, subscription failure, subscription and e-wallet topup reminders, as well as subscription order and order renewal.

Besides, you can specify addresses for sending email copies.

The MageDelight Subscribe Now Magento 2 module allows configuring subscription options on a per product basis. After selecting a product from your catalog, scroll down to the “Subscribe Now” tab and enable subscriptions. Other settings let you choose the product purchase option (subscription only or both one-time purchase and subscription) and discount type (Percentage or Fixed). You can also specify a discount amount (or set its percentage) and initial fee on the product subscription. Next, you can configure billing options: decide who defines the billing period (store admin or customer), set the billing period, and specify the number of billing cycles.

Then, select when you want the subscription to start (Moment of Purchase, Defined by Customer, Last Day of Month, or Exact Day of Month) and decide whether customers will be allowed to update the next subscription date. Besides, it is possible to enable a trial billing period for the product, select its interval, and define a trial billing amount and the number of occurrences for the trial cycle.

Dashboard

The analytical dashboard available with the MageDelight subscriptions and recurring payment Magento 2 module includes 3 tabs: Subscription, Orders, and Amount. For each report, you can select a chart type and period for which data will be generated.
