Subscriptions & Memberships Release Notes

Release notes for Subscriptions & Memberships (salesigniter/releasesubscriptions2, with salesigniter/releasesubscriptionsrental2 for rental stores and salesigniter/hyvasubscriptions for Hyvä), the extension that sells products on recurring billing plans, memberships with store credit, and a rental queue. It works with or without the rental extension and is sold separately with its own licence. See Installing Subscriptions & Memberships to install it, and the Rental Booking (Core) Release Notes for the rental extension itself.

Version 1.0.0 Released October 5, 2026 #

• New featureFirst release of Subscriptions & Memberships for Magento 2 (salesigniter/releasesubscriptions2), our own recurring billing extension. Customers subscribe to a product on the billing plans you set on the product or as store defaults: every so many days, weeks, months or years, at the catalog price, a fixed price or a percentage off, with an optional free trial, sign-up fee and number of billing cycles. The product page offers Pay once or Subscribe, and the cart shows what later renewals cost. Every renewal is an ordinary Magento order: cron picks up what is due every five minutes and charges the saved card, and offline methods create renewal orders that wait for payment. Works on simple, virtual, downloadable, configurable and bundle products. See Installing Subscriptions & Memberships
• New featureFailed payments and reminders. A declined renewal is retried on the days you set; a hard decline (stolen, closed or invalid card) stops the retries and asks for a new card, and when every retry has failed the subscription goes on hold or is cancelled, as you choose. Payments that need the customer to confirm them get their own email. Reminders go out before a renewal (every plan or yearly plans only), before a trial ends and when the saved card expires. Twelve email templates in all
• New featureCustomer self-service in My Account: skip the next renewal, pause for a number of billing periods, renew now, change the billing period, change the saved card or pay with a new one, add products to the next renewal, swap a product for another option, and cancel in two steps with a reason and the retention offers you switch on (pause instead, skip, a longer cheaper plan or a one-time discount). Cancellations can end at the paid-through date and be undone until then
• New featureA Subscriptions menu in the admin: a grid with bulk pause, resume, cancel and renew, a page per subscription (items, payment, addresses, orders, schedule and attempts, activity), moving the next billing date, creating a subscription by hand, the Renewals Log with Due now and Run now, a Cancellation reasons report, and a notice when renewals have not run for the hours you set
• New featureMemberships. Mark a product as a membership and buying it grants store credit every billing period (spent at checkout, with a rollover cap and a ledger you can adjust), a customer group for member prices, rental queue slots (on rental stores), or a mix. Benefits can be suspended while the subscription is paused or on hold and kept for a grace period after a failed payment. A membership can also be sold once, without a subscription
• New featureRental stores install the rental bridge (salesigniter/releasesubscriptionsrental2) as well. Rental products can be subscribed to: the plan sets the length of the rental (a month is 30 days and a year 365, as rental’s pricing counts them), the unit stays reserved while the subscription is paid, and each renewal order carries the next period’s dates. The rental queue (“send me the next title”) runs on rental stores only and sends real rental units: Queue – Send with Send next for all, a pick list, loans with their serials, scanned returns, automatic sends when a title comes back, return reminders and replacement charges for lost titles
• New featureA GraphQL API (54 queries and mutations, no REST), a Hyvä storefront (salesigniter/hyvasubscriptions), and renewals through Stripe, Braintree, Adyen, Mollie and ParadoxLabs (Authorize.Net and CyberSource) saved cards
• Upgrade noteSold separately with its own licence; it is not part of Pro or Multi Source Inventory Pro, and it has its own composer repository, shown on the install page. It needs Common 1.2.58 (salesigniter/releasecommon2), which composer installs with it. bin/magento setup:upgrade enables the new modules, including the gateway modules for the payment gateways your store has. Magento cron must be running for renewals
• CompatibilityMagento Open Source and Adobe Commerce 2.4 (tested on 2.4.9), PHP 8.2 to 8.4, Luma and Hyvä. The rental bridge needs the rental extension 1.2.213 or later. Card renewals are tested with Stripe and Braintree
