Overview
SUMO Subscriptions is a premium-only WooCommerce subscription plugin from Fantastic Plugins, sold through Envato’s CodeCanyon marketplace. It has been on sale for years, has more than 5,000 sales and is regularly updated, with version 17.7 released in August 2026.
The plugin supports simple, variable and grouped subscription products with free or paid trials and optional sign-up fees. A distinctive Order Subscription mode lets shoppers turn an ordinary cart of non-subscription products into a recurring order, choosing the renewal frequency and number of instalments themselves.
Payments and renewals
SUMO ships its own gateways, so you do not need extra plugins for automatic renewals: Stripe card payments and PayPal via Reference Transactions or the PayPal Subscriptions API, plus SUMO Reward Points as a payment method. Any other WooCommerce gateway can be used for manual renewals. Failed renewals move through configurable overdue and suspend periods with reminder emails, and automatic payment retries can be scheduled several times a day.
Subscriber and admin tools
- Customers can pause, resume, cancel (immediately, at period end or on a scheduled date), resubscribe, change quantities and update shipping address or payment method.
- Upgrades, downgrades and switches between variations, with proration options.
- Renewal synchronisation to a fixed date, drip content and extra digital downloads.
- Admins can create subscription orders manually, export subscriptions to CSV and review a master log.
Limitations
There is no skip or gifting feature on the feature list, reporting is limited to logs rather than MRR or churn analytics, and no importer from other plugins is advertised. As a CodeCanyon item, the $49 price is a one-time licence for one site with six months of support included; longer support costs extra.
SUMO Subscriptions suits cost-conscious stores that want a broad feature set without annual fees, particularly those using other SUMO plugins such as Reward Points or Memberships.
Best for: Cost-conscious WooCommerce stores that want a feature-rich subscription system for a single one-time fee.
SUMO Subscriptions packs most of what Woo Subscriptions does, including built-in Stripe and PayPal renewals, into a $49 one-off purchase. Weaker reporting, no skip or gifting and CodeCanyon-style support are the trade-offs, but the value is hard to argue with.
