The fact that this has been the top voted feature for about a year shows how incapable the Ecwid team are at their job and listening to their customers.

This option would be great for our business. We offer single items, as well as services that would require recurring billing. Please let us know if this will be available soon. I would rather use you for both our cart and recurring billing, instead of having to go through 2 companies.

thanks for having this thread up, saved me TIME and MONEY on here. We only sell subscription based items, so no ecwid for us!

For everyone that has been requesting this feature, in most instances your payment gateway has a recurring billing option. If so, that is your work around. Label the product as "out of stock" so it cannot be added to the bag, use CSS to hide the bag on any impacted product, and embed a recurring billing enabled "web form" on the webpage itself using the payment gateway web form option itself. If your payment gateway does not offer the option, then there are other web form options that do offer recurring billing.
I am currently working on this for some products on my site, and while it is not the integrated solution that everyone is requesting, it should "get you by". For my purposes this was better than switching to a different cart, but it may not be ideal if in in addition to recurring fees there are also unit-based fees that need to be billed. For example, if you were selling cell phone minutes at 100 minutes for $10.00 and $1.00 for each additional 10 minutes, this would not work well for automatically billing for the additional 10-minute units.

Any word on this feature?
I posted this question on your Facebook page asking if there was any news at all on the status of this much needed feature. I noticed that my question was quickly deleted.
I've been with you for a long time and would like to get some kind of response, Is this feature being worked on and is there any planned eta for it? It is at the top of the list for most requested. -

Almost 4 frickin' years people have been jumpin' up and down screaming for this. Apparently, it's got the most votes. I'm outta here...for REAL. Later. Won't be looking back, either.

I just cancelled my ECWID subscription. I won't do business with HYPOCRITES. You want to charge me via recurring billing as your customer? Fine, but you better let me do the same with my customer. I'm going with a Shopify/Chargify combination. It costs more, quite a bit more, but at least it will get the job done. Grow up, ECWID.

I think that in this day - there is NO reason why not to have recurring billing!

Please add this feature to ECWID. I have a lot of business I am trying to bring through but I desperately need this feature. Please,please do something about this ASAP. I love your service and everything about Ecwid but not having this feature is really hurting me right now. I don't want to split my business with Ecwid and another company as I love everything about Ecwid. Any chance this can be added right away? Please I am begging you to please add this. I know myself and thousands of people will be thanking you and bring much more business your way.
