[Resolved] CRED Form with woocommerce subscriptions and recurring payments

I would like to setup a form with toolset that allows the user to make a donation with a recurring payment. I have read through the documentation and set everything up. It works with simple products i woocommerce, but NOT with simple subscriptions products. There is the following message in the frontend: 'You must be logged in to checkout.'

choose 'single or couple' in the dropdown:
hidden link
hidden link

if you choose 'family', which is a simple product it works as expected.

then I've found the following support ticket:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/woocommerce-not-allowing-to-checkout-says-must-be-logged-in/

Is this still true? CRED commerce basically does NOT WORK with woocommerce subscriptions? Recurring payments are crucial to most businesses so it would basically make the cred commerce tool unuseable.

Is there any work-around. (and not the one that is mentioned in the link above: logging first in ist not an option, way too many clicks for a first time donator). Maybe another plugin for woocommerce or a way with a direct recurring payments button powered by stripe and paypal directly in the form?

Thanks for your help

Follow up question: would it maybe work with one of the following subscription plugins, not using the woocommerce subscription plugin?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - we are not aware of other subscription plugins you shared but here is the dedicated Doc that will let you know how you can use the WC Subscription plugin with Toolset:

Have you already followed above doc?

Just for reference: the subscriptio plugin mentioned above does work and allows to access the full features of the cred form woocommerce connection. much easies and convenient than the workarounds mentioned in the forums.

Thanks for sharing update/

Ok - Well, we only have to offer the following Doc:
=> https://toolset.com/learn/create-membership-site-wordpress-using-toolset-plugins/how-to-use-the-woocommerce-subscriptions-plugin-with-toolset/

It would be great if you can share how you use that plugin, so it may help other users.

Yeah, well it costs a bit, but it integrates very nicely because its NOT adding another woocommerce type like the subscriptions add-on, but just adds an option to the original woocommerce 'simple product'. Thanks to this, it can be accesses by the toolset feature and then just adds the reccurring payments to a simple product. See the screenshots to see the basic idea of the plugin, hope this helps to understand how it works. Cheers Tobi

Thanks for sharing all the information. Indeed, it will help to other users on this forum.

Feel free to close the ticket 🙂

Sure no problem, please have a look at another (rather urgent) ticket of mine about url-params, I would greatly appreciate your help there 🙂

What was the name of the plugin used? The link to the plugin is hidden and no mention of its name is provided.

Hey TobiasF-3., I have bought Subscriptio to use in a CRED form thanks to your advice, but unfortunately we can't remove the account creation form from the checkout page. The checkbox in WooCommerce settings isn't removing it either. Would you mind sharing how you got around this?

Thanks!
