About this topic
A subscription billing model is a chain of dates, records, payment attempts, customer promises, and operational decisions. These guides explain each link so finance, support, engineering, and fulfillment teams can work from the same model.
Start with the renewal lifecycle, then compare automatic and manual collection, record relationships, schedule alignment, proration, changes, cancellation, coupons, tax, and shipping. Worked examples are illustrative and product-specific behavior is clearly separated from general WooCommerce concepts.
