What this does — Recurring pricing lets a product carry a repeating charge — a monthly plan, a service subscription — alongside its one-off price. The customer sees both a one-time total and a recurring total, and the two are tracked separately through cart and checkout.

Before you start​

  • Decide what recurs: the whole product (a subscription product with a recurring base price), or specific answers (an add-on billed monthly). This article uses the second, more common case.
  • Author amounts in the base currency, tax-exclusive — currency, group overrides and tax apply on top, exactly as for one-off prices (where prices come from).

Steps​

  1. Turn recurring pricing on for the product. Open the product's edit form and set Does the product also use recurring pricing? to Yes. The product then carries its own recurring base price and a recurring tax class in parallel with the one-off ones, and a recurring price label (the interval, e.g. "monthly"). Leave the recurring base price at 0 if only add-ons recur.

  2. Set the recurring amount on the answer. Open the answer, expand its Price, SKU and Weight section, and enter the amount in Price Recurring — the euro field just below Price and Was Price:

    The answer's Price Recurring field

    A Was Price Recurring shows a struck-through before-price for the recurring amount, just like Was Price does for the one-off one.

  3. Save. Here the "Add a laundry-care plan" question's answer "Monthly laundry-care plan" has Price 0 and Price Recurring 9.90.

What happens next​

On the storefront the answer shows its recurring amount labelled distinctly — "€ 9.90 Recurring Price" — and the live price summary lists the recurring line separately from the one-off total, so the customer sees "pay this once, then this every cycle".

Good to know​

  • How much of the recurring breakdown the summary shows — overall, per question, taxes — is set in the Selection overview section of Settings, with its own switches for recurring pricing (see tour the Settings sections).
  • Nearly every price field has a recurring twin: base price, answer price, per-group/per-currency overrides. Fill only the ones that recur.
  • Weight-based shipping and one-off surcharges are unaffected — recurring pricing runs alongside the normal price, it doesn't replace it.
