Hello everyone! Welcome to WebSensePro and another tutorial video. In this video, I’ll show you how to create a subscription-based product using SureCart, a WooCommerce alternative. Whether you’re selling WordPress management services, SEO services, or any other subscription service, SureCart simplifies the process significantly compared to WooCommerce or Shopify.
Step 1: Setting Up a Test WordPress Environment with ZipWP
First, we will use ZipWP to create a fresh WordPress install for free. Navigate to try.new and wait a few seconds for the WordPress environment to be set up.
Step 2: Installing and Activating SureCart Plugin
Next, go to Plugins > Add New in your WordPress dashboard, search for SureCart, and click Install Now followed by Activate.
Step 3: Creating Your First Subscription Product
Click on Add a Product and name your product (e.g., “WordPress Management Services”).
Step 4: Adding Product Title, Description, and Images
Add a detailed product description using ChatGPT if needed. Include a comprehensive list of the services offered. Use Bing Image Generator to create and upload relevant images.
Step 5: Setting One-Time Payment Pricing
Add a price option, select One-Time Payment, and set the price (e.g., $100) and compare it to the regular price (e.g., $120).
Step 6: Setting Monthly Subscription Pricing
Add another price option, select Subscription, and set the monthly price (e.g., $50) and compare it to the regular price (e.g., $60).
Step 7: Setting Annual Subscription Pricing with Free Trial
Add another price option, select Subscription, and set the annual price (e.g., $500) with a comparison price (e.g., $600). Offer a 15-day free trial to attract customers.
Step 8: SEO Optimization for Product Page
Set the meta title and description for better search engine visibility. Ensure the image names and alt texts are SEO-friendly.
Step 9: Previewing the Product Page
Preview the product page to ensure all details are correctly displayed. Check the pricing options and overall layout.
Step 10: Testing the Purchase Process
Add the product to the cart and proceed to checkout to test the purchase process.
