Why use ShopMagic for WooCommerce Subscriptions?

😀 The WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin can notify subscribers about different subscription events, like subscription renewal, cancellation, or upgrade.

😡 What it can’t do, is inform subscribers before or after any of these events.

Therefore, if you want to send WooCommerce subscriptions reminder emails – it can’t be done in WooCommerce Subscriptions alone. In this case, you’ll need another plugin to add and customize emails for subscribers.

Basically, you can use every subscription status (including changes from one to another) as a trigger. Here’s a full list of all available events in ShopMagic:

• New Subscription
• Subscription Status Changed (e.g. from On-Hold to Active)
• Subscription Before Renewal
• Subscription Before End
• Subscription Trial End
• Subscription Manual Trigger (👉🏿 very useful, we’ll get back to it later in the article)

What about customer segmentation & filters?

Or in other words – will ShopMagic send this email to every subscriber? Luckily – no🙂.

✅ You decide to whom your WooCommerce Subscriptions reminder emails will be sent.

How? With available filters. ShopMagic has plenty of them, to let you personalize your automation as much as possible.

➡️ Here is a list of subscription-based filters: ⬅️

• Billing Period
• Custom Field
• Date Completed
• Date Created
• Date Paid
• Item Categories

WooCommerce Subscriptions email reminder – Example

Now, let’s take a look at the example for WooCommerce Subscriptions email reminder which will be sent 7 days before the end of the subscription, to the customers who have an active subscription on a specified item:

Let’s not forget about Advanced Filters

Choose WooCommerce Subscriptions reminder email types

By type, I mean Action 😉.

✅ That’s right. You can create an automation that will change the subscription status if the specified event occurs.

Here are all available Action types. I grouped them into subscription-only and universal action types:

1️⃣ Subscription-based Action types

• Subscription Change status
• Subscription Change to Manual
• Subscription Change Date

2️⃣ Universal Actions

• Send Email (Plain text/HTML template)
• Add/delete Customer to ShopMagic list
• Add Customer to Mailchimp list

Subscription Manual Trigger (one-time email campaign)

Remember when we mentioned such an event? Here’s a brief explanation of its possibilities.

It’s a perfect solution for sending one-time offers to inform your subscribers about some changes in the subscriptions or to use as a WooCommerce Subscriptions reminder email if you want.

➡️ What’s even better, there’s no limitation on how many customers (subscribers) you can target with a subscription manual trigger. Few of them, a hundred or even a few thousand customers at once!

Once you create your automation, ShopMagic will process it and send your message to all eligible customers.

Reminder email ready-to-use recipes

Normally, I would write a long step-by-step example here🙂. However, since we added automation recipes into ShopMagic, there’s no need👌.

When you’ll install ShopMagic and visit the Recipes tab, you’ll see that there’s a ready-to-use template for the WooCommerce Subscription reminder email.

👆🏽 Simply click on Use Recipe, and it will be ready to use!

That’s it. Your WooCommerce Subscription reminder email is ready!

Once you click on Publish, your automation will be ready and waiting for a specified event. If it occurs, ShopMagic will automatically add it to the Queue and send it to the customer.

Finally, you will be able to check its status in the Outcomes.
