RenewRight: UK Renewal Notices for WooCommerce

The UK's new subscription contract rules apply to contracts made from 1 January 2027. This plugin works out which notices each subscriber needs and when, emails them on time, and keeps a dated record of every notice. All the essentials are free. Notices, planned from each subscription's renewal dates

• Renewal reminders: before the last renewal payment in each six-month period for weekly, monthly and quarterly plans; before the first payment after a free trial or discount ends; before every renewal of 12 months or more, plus an earlier advance reminder.
• Renewal cooling-off notices: on the day a trial or discount ends and on 12-month-or-longer renewals, sent separately from anything else.
• End-of-contract notices: sent as soon as a customer ends their subscription.
• Contract confirmation: the key information on a durable medium after sign-up.

Every reminder puts the required information first, in a box: renewal date and amount, the previous amount and any increase, further payments, the minimum the customer will pay, the next payment date (or end date), and how and by when to end it. Before checkout

• A key information box on subscription product pages and at checkout: that it renews until ended, any trial and when charging starts, how often and how much, the monthly equivalent for non-monthly plans, the minimum total, how to end it, when reminders are sent, and cooling-off rights.

Leaving

• An "End my subscription" page ([uksn_end_subscription]) with one clearly labelled button per subscription, using WooCommerce Subscriptions' own cancel action. No reasons asked.

Records

• Each sent notice keeps the time, recipient, content and a SHA-256 fingerprint. Export everything as CSV.
• Status page with checks for what is missing and how to fix it.
• Test mode sends every notice to you first; switch to Live when you are happy.
• Works with WordPress's personal data export and erase tools. Erasure keeps an anonymised record (type, dates, fingerprint).

This plugin is a tool to help you send and record the notices required by the UK subscription contracts rules (DMCCA 2024 Part 4 Chapter 2 and the Consumer Subscription Contracts (Cancellation and Information) Regulations 2026). It is not legal advice and does not guarantee compliance. You remain responsible for your contracts, checkout, pricing and policies. Requires WooCommerce and WooCommerce Subscriptions.
