What it does
Stores that run several premium Woo extensions often deal with connection prompts, subscription notices and admin messages asking for extra tools. This plugin handles the WooCommerce.com connection and marks each installed extension as having an active subscription. It finds those extensions through the standard WooCommerce plugin header system, so any extension that follows that convention is picked up on its own and there is nothing to configure.
Some extensions run their own verification checks outside the standard WooCommerce system. The plugin includes targeted handling for those, with Composite Products and Etsy Integration named as examples. It also hides the admin notice asking you to install the WooCommerce.com Update Manager and avoids PHP warnings tied to product usage notices. It requires WooCommerce and suits store owners who manage many extensions across one or more sites.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores running many premium Woo extensions
- Agencies managing several WooCommerce client sites
- Store owners who prefer a plugin with no settings
Features
WooCommerce.com site connection

Subscription registration per extension
Registers an active subscription for every premium Woo extension installed on the site, covering each one without manual entry.
Automatic extension detection

Support for custom checks
Includes targeted handling for extensions such as Composite Products and Etsy Integration, which use their own verification checks beyond the standard WooCommerce system.
Quieter admin dashboard
Suppresses the admin notice prompting you to install the WooCommerce.com Update Manager, keeping the WordPress dashboard free of that repeated message.
Fewer PHP warnings
Prevents PHP warnings from the WooCommerce product usage notice that can appear when the usage rules data is missing expected information.
