WooCommerce Payment Plans (Install & Setup Now)
With Payment Plans for WooCommerce, you can allow customers to pay in installments.
Give your Customers the Flexibility To Buy Now and Pay Later
In tough economic times such as these, online retailers need to take advantage of every means possible to convert hesitant visitors into paying customers.
A great way of doing this is through payment plans, as it gives people the ability to pay for a product over time.
Our WooCommerce Payment Plans plugin not only allows you to integrate payments plans into your WooCommerce site easily but, unlike other solutions, it also automatically charges your customers whenever an installment is due.
This article goes into detail about what the plugin does and how it can help your business.

Benefits of the Plugin
Turn Shoppers into Customers
Payment Plans WC plugin will help you improve sales, as it will help you overcome one of the most significant obstacles standing in the way of making a sale: the necessity to pay for a product at once and in full.
By allowing partial payments for your products, people visiting your website will no longer have an excuse for not becoming customers.
Adding a payment plan to your website can also improve average order value (AOV) and improve customer satisfaction, all at a very small price.
Receive Recurring Payments
Automatically
This partial payment plugin supports automatic billing and automatic rebilling of failed payments.
With this WooCommerce installment plugin, you don’t have to worry about losing revenue in the future, as it automatically bills your customers whenever a payment is due.
Add Payment Plans Cost Effectively
Companies such as Affirm, After Pay, and Sezzle charge 6-10% of the purchase price for adding payment plans to your WooCommerce site. But with the Payment Plans for WooCommerce plugin, you only pay an annual fee of $99 and the standard payment processing fee that your payment gateway charges, such as Authorize.net, Stripe, etc. (usually around 2.9%.)

WooCommerce Payment Plans
Applying a Payment Plan to the Shopping Cart
In the future, we will be adding the ability to add a payment plan to the entire shopping cart. In the meantime, something that is a little similar is this: your users can click on the checkbox by the products on the Cart page to add them to a payment plan.
Applying on LearnDash Courses
The WooCommerce Payment Plans plugin is compatible with LearnDashcourses & groups.
But, when applying it to LearnDash courses, you need to apply it as a Simple product
instead of as a Course.
Note: If one of the customer’s payments fails, they will no longer have access
to the course.
Here are the steps for applying the WooCommerce Payment Plans plugin to
a LearnDash course:
- Create a new WooCommerce product in WordPress.
- Select Simple product from the Product data dropdown box.
- Check the Virtual checkbox.
- Add the price of the course.
- Select the course(s) that you want to offer.
- Click the Payment Plans tab.
- Configure your payment plan options.
- Save and publish your product.
In the following example, I have set up a Learn Guitar Course that I am selling for $100 or 4 monthly payments of $25:
To properly apply the plugin to a LearnDash course, you also have to change some LearnDash settings. Go to LearnDash LMS > Courses and update the course’s settings to Closed Access Mode and set the Button URL to either your cart or product page, like this:
Finally, do the following steps to prevent LearnDash from removing a user from a course
after they complete all their payments:
- On your WordPress dashboard, go to WooCommerce > Settings > and click
the Subscriptions tab. - Next, scroll down to the bottom of the Subscriptions settings and check the
- Disable checkbox under Access Removal on Expiration (see screenshot below.)
- Click Save changes.

What is the difference between other BNPL plugins and Payment Plans WC?
A major issue with the other plugins is that they do not support automatic recurring payments. For example, the first payment goes through as a deposit, but the remaining payments are not automatically charged to the customer’s payment method.
The customer then has to go and make the payment manually. On the other hand, the WooCommerce Payment Plans plugin is automated, as the remaining payments in the customer’s plan are automatically charged to the customer’s payment method (such as a credit card or PayPal) using their chosen payment method.
What other plugins are required for the Buy Now, Pay Later Plugin to work?
For the Woocommerce BNPL plugin to work, you need to have WooCommerce installed as well as the WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin.
Can I automatically charge customers when a scheduled payment is due?
Yes. The payment plans solution supports automatic recurring payments and automatic re-billing on failed payments. Hence, you never have to worry about losing revenue from future installments.
Is Payment Plans WC Compatible with LearnDash Courses?
Yes, the WooCommerce Payment Plans plugin is compatible with LearnDash courses. But, when applying it to LearnDash courses, you need to use it as a simple product instead of a Course.
