Gifting for WooCommerce Subscriptions 2.9.1

Gifting for WooCommerce Subscriptions is a WordPress plugin designed for WooCommerce subscription stores that want to let customers gift recurring plans to someone else. Instead of a one-time purchase, the recipient can receive and use the subscription while both parties stay involved in its ongoing lifecycle.

When a buyer purchases a subscription for another person, the plugin shares the subscription between the purchaser and recipient. This collaborative setup helps reduce common headaches around changes, renewals, and account-specific updates by keeping management accessible to both users where it matters.

It’s built for teams using WooCommerce and subscription products (such as the WooCommerce Subscriptions ecosystem), providing a smoother gifting experience with clearer control for purchaser and recipient.

Main Features

• Gift subscription purchase — Allows one customer to buy a WooCommerce subscription for another person.
• Shared subscription ownership — Links the subscription so both purchaser and recipient are involved after checkout.
• Recipient access for the subscription term — Ensures the gifted subscription can be managed for its full lifetime.
• Purchaser management access — Keeps the buyer able to handle subscription-related changes throughout the lifecycle.
• Recipient management access — Lets the recipient manage the subscription as the end user for ongoing updates.
• Lifecycle update support — Helps coordinate subscription changes without forcing the buyer to act as a proxy.
• Designed for WooCommerce subscription products — Fits subscription workflows commonly used in WooCommerce stores.
