WooCommerce Subscriptions with Customer - Approved Pay by Bank Renewals
Why Renewals Matter
Subscription payments aren’t just transactions. They’re customer trust signals.
With each renewal, the customer selects their bank, reviews the payment details, and authorises the new payment.
This keeps every renewal clear, transparent, and under the customer’s control.

Customer-Approved Renewals for Subscription Businesses
Provide customers with a straightforward method to pay for each renewal using Pay by Bank. WalliD is designed for subscription businesses that offer products with predictable replenishment cycles, such as coffee, pet food, beauty products, and household essentials. Customers can review each renewal, select their bank, and authorize payment through their banking app.
WalliD facilitates the Pay by Bank process and handles bank authorization. Each payment requires active approval from the customer. This system does not rely on automatic recurring debits, Variable Recurring Payments (VRP), saved bank mandates, or payments without customer consent.
