Custom Start Date for WooCommerce Subscriptions

Subscriptions that begin as soon as a customer places an order may not fit every business schedule. This plugin lets store owners set specific future start dates, add a fixed delay after purchase, or let customers choose a date from a calendar. These options suit businesses that prepare services or products for a set start period, and give customers a way to plan when their subscription begins.

Store owners can decide whether to collect the initial payment right away or schedule it for the subscription start date. The calendar can exclude past dates, show a chosen number of available dates, and appear or stay hidden on the product page. Customers can review their selected start date and renewal information in the cart and at checkout. Shop managers can also edit a start date before a subscription begins.

Features

• Set specific start dates: Choose one or more future dates for subscriptions, helping coordinate starts with seasonal periods, planned launches, or other business schedules.
• Customer date selection: Let customers choose a preferred subscription start date from a calendar, with past dates excluded from the available options.
• Add a fixed delay: Set a delay in days, weeks, or months between an order and the subscription start, allowing time for preparation.
• Choose payment timing: Collect the initial payment when the customer orders or schedule it to coincide with the subscription start date.
• Control calendar display: Choose how many start dates appear in the calendar and whether the start date is shown on the product page.
• Edit dates in the admin: Shop managers can adjust a subscription's start date before it begins, with later billing and renewal dates recalculated.
