Gateways
Appalify Subscriptions for WooCommerce uses the standard WooCommerce payment gateway systems, ensuring compatibility with all gateways that support recurring payments.
Here’s how it works:
1. Gateway Integration
The plugin does not introduce a new payment method. Instead, it connects directly to WooCommerce’s existing gateways through the built-in gateway’s API. This means any payment provider that supports tokenization and recurring billing (such as Stripe, PayPal, or Authorize.net) will work seamlessly.
2. Saving Payment Methods
When a customer checks out, their payment method is securely saved by the gateway using WooCommerce’s token system. This token is then used to charge the customer automatically at each renewal interval — without requiring manual re-entry of payment details.
3. Automatic Billing and Retries
On each billing cycle, WooCommerce triggers a renewal event. Appalify Subscriptions for WooCommerce uses the stored token to attempt payment. If a payment fails, the plugin’s retry system can automatically try again based on your configured retry intervals and limits.
4. Gateway Requirements
• The selected gateway must support automatic recurring payments.
• The gateway must support tokenization (saving payment methods).
• Gateways that only support one-time payments will process the initial charge but cannot renew automatically.
5. Admin and User Transparency
All renewal transactions, payment retries, and gateway responses are logged in both the admin order view and the user’s “My Account” subscriptions list for full transparency.

External services
This plugin connects to the API of both Paypal and Stripe via the token saved in the Paypal and Stripe Plugins.
Paypal:
The API is used to create a subscription. This token is then saved, so it can be checked periodically, if it is still active.
The API is also used to cancel the subscription.

Stripe:
The API is used to recharge the users payment method each billing cycle. First the payment_id is saved and then it is charged each billing cycle.
The API is also used to cancel the subscription.
