Why Magento Needs a Subscription Layer

Native Magento is built for discrete orders. Extension marketplaces and SaaS-like catalogs need recurring entitlements:

• Manual renewals — staff chase expired licenses
• Entitlement drift — access continues after non-payment—or cuts off too early
• No recurring engine — custom cron scripts become unmaintainable
• Checkout mismatch — one-time payment UX for ongoing products

What This Extension Solves

The Subscription Engine adds subscription billing and entitlement concepts for Magento 2 extension/software-style catalogs.

• Subscription / recurring order concepts in Magento
• Entitlement tracking for licensed products
• Admin visibility into subscription state
• Designed to work with Towering Media commerce extensions

Key Features

• Composer: toweringmedia/module-subscriptions
• Magento 2.4 / PHP 8.x
• Deep behavior documented on the wiki

System Requirements

• Magento 2.4.x
• Reliable cron
• Compatible payment methods for renewals

General Composer install steps for Towering Media modules: Installation guide.

Installation Overview

Step 1: Authenticate Composer

Add your Towering Media credentials to auth.json in the Magento root (same pattern as other Towering Media extensions).

Step 2: Require the package

composer require toweringmedia/module-subscriptions

Step 3: Enable and upgrade

php bin/magento module:enable ToweringMedia_Subscriptions
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
php bin/magento cache:flush

Exact module enable name may match your package’s registration.php / module.xml—confirm in the package after install. Production stores should follow your normal deploy process.
