Thoughts on using WooCommerce to manage subscriptions and social login for a SaaS product?
I'm already using WP for CMS and I'm considering trying to leverage Woo to manage billing and social login, but my SaaS code is completely separate WP. I think I would need to integrate my auth flow somehow, which I think is doable, but I just wonder if it's worth it.
Anyone have experience (either positive or negative) doing this?
We have used Woo Subscriptions for years for WP clients and it works well. If your SAAS is WP as well, why not. WooCommerce is an excellent plugin in general and their subscriptions plugin is also battle tested.
I don't have experience using Woo or WP for SaaS (I use Laravel) but in my day job we have a lot of client's who use Woo and it is very slow. I would not personally build a SaaS with it due to that (and many other things) as it leads to a poor user experience. If you want something to manage your data for you I would use something like Chargify (or similar) for subscriptions and Auth0 or firebase for authentication.
If you are not a developer and do not have the ability to hire one, I am not sure of the best options although I am sure someone here knows of the perfect tool for you.
