Description
The Subscriptions Gifting add-on lets you buy a WooCommerce Subscriptions subscription on behalf of someone else, separating the payer (the one who buys and covers renewals) from the beneficiary (the one who actually uses the content, downloads, or restricted access). It’s designed for those who sell online courses, subscription clubs, premium content plans, or recurring boxes and want to enable the gift option without duplicating accounts or mixing billing history.
Key Features of Subscriptions Gifting
- Gift field in the product
Adds a recipient email field on the subscription product page. - Separation of payer and beneficiary
Creates an account for the recipient without transferring the buyer’s payment method. - Renewals paid by the payer
Keeps recurring billing cycles linked to the gift giver’s card. - Access linked to the recipient
Unlocks downloads, restricted content, and site roles only for the gifted email. - Automatic email notification
Sends a message to the recipient letting them know about the received subscription with access instructions.
Benefits of Subscriptions Gifting
- New sales occasion
Leverage dates like Christmas, birthdays, and Mother’s Day to sell subscriptions. - Acquisition of new users
Each gift brings a new signup that can renew the subscription in the future. - Organized financial history
Purchases and renewals stay isolated in the account of the person who pays, without confusing the recipient. - Higher average ticket on special occasions

Who Is Subscriptions Gifting Intended For?
- Those who sell physical subscription clubs (wines, books, cosmetics, monthly boxes) and want to enable the option to gift.
- Online course platforms, member areas, and premium content setups based on WooCommerce Subscriptions that want to sell access as a gift.
- Those who produce recurring digital content (paid newsletters, exclusive podcasts, communities) and are looking for a new buying occasion.
How to Download Subscriptions Gifting
Subscriptions Gifting is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the .zip, and activate it. The gift field will automatically appear on the product pages configured as subscriptions in WooCommerce.
Built for WooCommerce stores that already run WooCommerce Subscriptions, Subscriptions Gifting opens up an extra revenue route by turning any recurring product into a giftable option, without requiring custom development. The separation between payer and beneficiary solves the classic problem of wanting to gift a subscription without giving card details or sharing your own account login.
