About RetainFlow
From the official readme · v1.2.1Description
RetainFlow (plugin directory slug: retainwoo for legacy compatibility)
RetainFlow shows a popup with special offers when a subscriber tries to cancel, helping you keep more paying customers.
Most stores lose subscribers silently, the customer clicks cancel, the subscription ends, and no one ever finds out why. RetainFlow stops that from happening.
When a subscriber clicks the cancel button, a polished popup appears instantly with three retention options:
- Pause: Let them pause for 1 or 3 months instead of cancelling
- Skip: Skip their next payment to give them breathing room (can only be used once every 3 months)
- Discount: Offer a percentage or fixed discount to stay
If they still cancel, RetainFlow automatically sends a win-back email with a unique coupon code — giving you a second chance to recover that subscriber.
Everything is tracked in a clean dashboard so you can see exactly how much revenue you’re saving.
Why RetainFlow?
- Offer first, not a survey: Competitors show a survey before the offer. RetainFlow shows the offer immediately, which gets higher acceptance.
- Works with 4 subscription plugins: WooCommerce Subscriptions, WebToffee, YITH, and SUMO all auto-detected.
- 5-minute setup: Install, activate, done. No complex configuration required.
- Built-in win-back email: Other plugins require Klaviyo or Mailchimp. RetainFlow sends beautiful win-back emails automatically.
- Self-contained design: The popup looks great on every theme without any CSS conflicts.

Frequently asked questions
Which subscription plugins are supported?
RetainFlow works with WooCommerce Subscriptions (official), Subscriptions for WooCommerce by WebToffee, YITH WooCommerce Subscriptions, and SUMO Subscriptions. The correct plugin is detected automatically.
Why is the WordPress.org URL retainwoo?
RetainFlow was previously listed under a legacy directory slug. The product name is RetainFlow; the WordPress.org directory slug cannot be changed after publication. Your settings and data are unaffected.
Does the popup appear for all subscription cancellations?
Yes — the popup appears whenever a logged-in customer clicks any cancel button on their subscription. It works on the My Account Subscriptions page and individual subscription pages.
What happens when a customer accepts an offer?
Pause: The subscription status is set to On Hold and a scheduled event automatically resumes it after the selected period. Skip: The next payment date is pushed forward by one billing cycle. Discount: A unique single-use coupon is created and applied to the subscription automatically.
What happens when a customer cancels anyway?
The cancellation proceeds normally. If win-back email is enabled, a scheduled email is sent after the configured delay with a unique discount coupon to encourage reactivation.
Will this slow down my site?
No. The popup CSS and JavaScript are only loaded on WooCommerce account pages. The total added weight is under 15KB.
Does it work with page builders like Elementor or Divi?
Yes. The popup is injected directly into the page body and is independent of your theme or page builder.
Can I customize the popup text?
Yes. Go to RetainFlow → Settings to change the headline, subheadline, discount amount, and win-back email subject.
Is this GDPR compliant?
Yes. RetainFlow does not send any data to external servers. Win-back emails are sent using your WordPress installation’s own email system. No third-party services are involved.
