    36 == Gateways ==
    37 
    38 Appalify Subscriptions for WooCommerce uses the standard WooCommerce payment gateway systems, ensuring compatibility with all gateways that support recurring payments.
    39 Here’s how it works:
    40     1.  Gateway Integration
    41 The plugin does not introduce a new payment method. Instead, it connects directly to WooCommerce’s existing gateways through the built-in gateway's API. This means any payment provider that supports tokenization and recurring billing (such as Stripe, PayPal, or Authorize.net) will work seamlessly.
    42     2.  Saving Payment Methods
    43 When a customer checks out, their payment method is securely saved by the gateway using WooCommerce’s token system. This token is then used to charge the customer automatically at each renewal interval — without requiring manual re-entry of payment details.
    44     3.  Automatic Billing and Retries
    45 On each billing cycle, WooCommerce triggers a renewal event. Appalify Subscriptions for WooCommerce uses the stored token to attempt payment. If a payment fails, the plugin’s retry system can automatically try again based on your configured retry intervals and limits.
    46     4.  Gateway Requirements
    47     •   The selected gateway must support automatic recurring payments.
    48     •   The gateway must support tokenization (saving payment methods).
    49     •   Gateways that only support one-time payments will process the initial charge but cannot renew automatically.
    50     5.  Admin and User Transparency
    51 All renewal transactions, payment retries, and gateway responses are logged in both the admin order view and the user’s “My Account” subscriptions list for full transparency.
    52

     64The payment gateway stores a token at checkout. Appalify uses this token to renew subscriptions automatically.
     65
     66== 3. Automatic Billing & Payment Retries ==
     67WooCommerce triggers renewal events; Appalify charges the saved token. You can set retry intervals and retry limits for failed renewal payments.
     68
     69== 4. Full Transparency ==
