Installation

Milo Subscriptions is a WordPress plugin that adds recurring subscription products to your store. It works in two modes:

  • WooCommerce mode (recommended): full integration with WooCommerce products, cart, checkout, and orders.
  • Standalone mode: sell subscriptions directly through Stripe without installing WooCommerce.

This guide covers installation for both modes.
