How It Works
Create a subscription product
Create a WooCommerce Subscription product with your desired billing period (monthly, quarterly, etc.).

Customer subscribes
Customer builds their first box and subscribes. Their box configuration is saved with the subscription.
Before each renewal
Before the next billing date, the customer can log in and customize their box for the upcoming period.
Notification Emails
BoxBuilder sends a reminder email before each renewal period:“Your next box ships on [date]. Customize your box before [deadline].”If the customer doesn’t customize their box before the deadline, the default box contents (set by the admin or the customer’s previous selection) are used.
Admin Configuration

- Set default box contents used when customers don’t customize
- View subscription box history for each customer
