Experimental extension that adds WooCommerce Subscriptions support to non-subscription product types.

WooCommerce Subscribe All the Things

WooCommerce Subscribe All the Things is an experimental mini-extension for WooCommerce Subscriptions that allows you to add subscription options to non-subscription product types, such as Simple and Variable products.

The plugin has been tested and can be used to add subscription options to Product Bundles, Composite Products and Mix and Match Products.

Cart Subscriptions

In addition to adding subscription options to individual products, Subscribe All the Things can be used to offer options for subscribing to an entire cart before checkout.
