I'm trying to set up a site just like this one. How do I set up an option like this on Woocommerce if it's even possible?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Been struggling a lot lately

I'd like to help, but honestly, the question is not clear.

What do you mean by negative billing?

All the information in the screenshots + the lack of detail in the question = No one knows really what you're asking and therefore can't help you.

I think that's why you haven't gotten any responses. :)

Hi Greydingo,

Thank you so much for helping! I really appreciate it. I meant, how do you set up a woocommerce checkout page where the customer fills in their shipping information to get a "free" bottle of a weight loss supplement for $7.95 shipping, but actually, they are billed $50/month in a subscription forever until they call to cancel.

How do I set something like that up in Woocommerce without listing the subscription price?

Thank you so much,

Willy
 
Well, that sounds a little deceptive, and at the same time, like a small feature, so I'm not sure you're going to find a plugin for that.

No judgement. Just saying.

Can you just hide the price with css?

You can also copy the woocommerce checkout template (or any other woocommerce template) to your theme folder and modify it.

You can google to see exactly where you should place the template file.
 
This is illegal and when your chargeback rate gets too high and you get fined by the FTC you’ll regret doing it.
 
I'm guessing the credit card processor will ban him for too many charge backs before anything ever get's to the FTC. But yeah.

Do you know any high risk payment gateways I can use to avoid this? Thanks so much!
 
I do not.

Honestly, I don't think you're going to find any credit card processor that will keep you if you get a lot of chargebacks.

Which you most certainly will with what you're proposing.

I see I see, what do you propose I do instead to get a higher conversion rate?

Lol, look at most suscription based streaming services, they do the same crap. Their "First month free" promos are almost that but with different wording. OP, look up what they are doing, try to morph your idea into that, ask a lawyer if you can play it safe.

The difference is that they have free trials which after some period (a month or 2 weeks or something) automatically convert into a subscription and the disclaimer usually is visible somewhere on the site. This, on the other hand, is auto enrolling people in some subscription club just because they purchased a product from their site with a warning in size 1 font at the bottom of the page.
 
Chargebacks will be your biggest enemy here. You'd probably want to obtain multiple mid/high-risk MIDs & LB for this.

This model will result in a ton of chargebacks, in order to successfully pull this off you'll need to obtain multiple merchant accounts and load balance your transactions accordingly.
