WP Desk | Flexible Subscriptions One-Time Payment

Description

The Flexible Subscriptions One-Time Payment addon adds a “Subscription variation” checkbox to the Variations tab on the WooCommerce variable product editing screen, allowing subscription behavior to be enabled or disabled for each variation individually. This makes it possible to keep some variations as one-time purchases and others as subscriptions within the same product, eliminating the need to duplicate catalog listings; a feature designed for WooCommerce stores that use the Flexible Subscriptions plugin and need to combine recurring sales and one-time payment models in the same product listing.

Key Features

• Subscription per variation
  Adds a checkbox for each variation on the product editing screen, enabling subscription fields only for selected variations.
• No global settings
  Works automatically after activation; simply select the option for each desired variation, with no additional dashboard adjustments.
• Integration with existing fields
  Reuses the price, billing cycle, and trial period fields already configured in Flexible Subscriptions, without duplicating settings.
• One-time and recurring purchases in the same product
  A single product can include variations sold as one-time purchases and others as subscriptions, simplifying the catalog.
• Management on the product screen
  Subscription options are managed directly on the product editing screen, within the WooCommerce variations tab.

Benefits of Flexible Subscriptions One-Time Payment

• Catalog without duplicates
  Eliminates the need to create separate products for one-time sales and subscriptions, reducing maintenance work.
• More options for customers
  Allows, for example, sizes S and M to be sold as one-time purchases and size L as a monthly subscription, or Basic and Pro licenses with different models.
• Setup in a few clicks
  Eliminates extra setup steps; activating the plugin and selecting the checkbox enables subscription behavior for the chosen variation.
• Preserved checkout flow
  When the customer selects a subscription variation, the cart and checkout follow the standard Flexible Subscriptions flow, without conflicts.

Who Is It Recommended For?

• WooCommerce store owners who sell variable products and want to combine one-time purchases and subscriptions in the same listing.
• SaaS businesses, software licenses, or digital content providers that need to separate recurring plans and one-time purchases by variation.
• E-commerce managers seeking to simplify the catalog by eliminating duplicate listings for products with and without subscriptions.

By combining one-time purchases and subscriptions within a single variable product, the Flexible Subscriptions One-Time Payment addon reduces catalog complexity and centralizes management on the WooCommerce editing screen itself. The add-on requires the free Flexible Subscriptions plugin to be active and works without additional global settings, making it suitable for any store that needs to segment its billing model by product variation.
