Milo Subscriptions

Milo Subscriptions is a WordPress subscription billing tool for selling subscriptions with or without WooCommerce. It is presented as a free alternative to WooCommerce Subscriptions and is built around recurring billing for subscription stores.

Its free plugin includes recurring billing, customer self-service, transactional emails, and a one-click migration tool. Renewals can be scheduled on any cadence, and the feature set also includes free trials, sign-up fees, and lifetime subscriptions. Customers can use a My Account dashboard to pause or cancel subscriptions, change payment methods, and view past renewals. A built-in cancellation survey asks customers why they are leaving. The product also offers an add-ons ecosystem for stores that need extra functions, and those add-ons can be bought individually or in a discounted bundle.

Milo Payments provides four built-in gateways: Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, and Square. The gateways connect in a few clicks with OAuth, and the setup supports live and sandbox mode. The product is described as SCA-ready, vault-enabled, and renewal-aware. For WooCommerce stores, it supports High-Performance Order Storage and the block-based cart and checkout, without requiring shortcodes. A REST API with more than twenty endpoints is available for programmatic management of subscriptions, renewals, and customers. The migration tool can bring subscribers from WooCommerce Subscriptions or WP Swings, and payment tokens carry over so renewals do not pause.

Both Milo Subscriptions and Milo Payments are free, with a small fee charged on each transaction. The add-ons are sold separately or as a bundle. The page also states that the team behind the product has experience shipping WooCommerce plugins.
