Who benefits from Order Subscriptions?

This plugin is designed to meet the needs of various industries, providing a convenient and efficient way to manage recurring orders.

B2B suppliers: Driving the supply chain

Business-to-business suppliers are at the heart of this feature. They play a pivotal role in ensuring businesses have the tools, materials, and resources to operate effectively. With Order Subscriptions, B2B suppliers can streamline the delivery of essential products, ensuring contractors, tradespeople, and other professionals always have what they need to get the job done.

While B2B suppliers are a primary focus, many other industries can use this feature to enhance their workflows and customer satisfaction:

  • Retailers: Automate recurring deliveries of consumable goods like groceries, toiletries, and household essentials, making life easier for loyal customers.
  • Health & wellness: To promote consistency and well-being, offer convenient subscriptions for vitamins, supplements, and other health-related products.
  • Digital services: Perfect for businesses providing software, online tools, or other digital subscriptions. They ensure seamless renewals and customer retention.

Why should you offer recurring orders?

Offering subscription options doesn't just benefit your customers; it significantly impacts your business operations. Here's why:

1) Time savings

Automate routine processes, allowing your team to focus on growth and innovation. Automating orders minimizes manual tasks your employees need to do and reduces administrative overhead.

2) Consistent revenue

You can create a consistent revenue stream with recurring orders. A predictable income stream from recurring orders can help your business grow.

3) Stronger client relationships

You can boost customer loyalty by making it effortless for your customers to receive the products they need when they need them. A seamless shopping experience strongly encourages repeat business.

✨ How does it help your customers?

For your customers, the Order Subscriptions plugin provides unparalleled convenience. Instead of remembering to place an order, they can set it up once and forget about it. This ensures they never run out of the products they need, whether it's their favorite coffee blend or an essential piece of equipment.

How does the feature work?

Subscriptions provide a straightforward way for businesses to implement automated orders. Activation is quick and simple—enable the plugin from your ReadyCMS plugin page, and it's ready to use immediately without requiring additional setup.

Unlike traditional subscription models that lock customers into predefined cycles (weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.), the new custom interval feature gives businesses full control over resupply frequency. Instead of selecting from fixed intervals, customers can now enter the exact number of days between orders, ensuring that products are replenished precisely when needed.

✅ Example:
A B2B client supplying medical equipment to hospitals might need restocks every 23 days. At the same time, an industrial supplier may set resupplies at 45-day intervals—this flexibility ensures businesses never run out of essential inventory.

The interface makes it simple to configure these intervals, allowing businesses to manage recurring orders efficiently. The system takes care of the rest, ensuring smooth and intelligent order renewals.

🔹 Easy Configuration:

  • Customers enter a custom interval in days at checkout.
  • The system automatically renews orders based on the selected time frame.
  • Businesses can track and adjust subscriptions effortlessly through the ReadyCMS admin panel.

For every subscription, it automatically checks stock levels before recreating an order, guaranteeing that only products available in inventory are processed. This proactive approach eliminates the risk of overpromising and keeps operations running seamlessly.

It is also easy to quickly differentiate recurring orders from one-time purchases. The list of orders now clearly indicates which ones are part of a subscription.
