That is the whole plan for WooCommerce Subscriptions. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- Integration with the WooCommerce order, coupon, tax and shipping machinery, so subscriptions are no longer just orders your other plugins understand
- Gateway breadth: you are married to one processor instead of the dozen Woo supports
- Customer-facing plan switching, pausing, resubscribing and prorated upgrades in your own UI, unless you accept the hosted portal as-is
- Admin reporting, renewal calendars and bulk actions over thousands of subscribers
- Years of edge case handling for partial renewals, mixed carts, manual renewals and payment method migrations
