Minimum period for subscriptions before user can cancel
It would be useful to be able to set a minimum period on a subscription (i.e. before the user can cancel)

It would be absolutely great to have this in subscriptions itself, instead of having to get an extra plugin for it.
We have a lot of rentals that have a minimum period of 6 months, after which people can either just continue the subscription or cancel. What happens now is that people sometimes cancel their subscription prematurely, resulting in a mess.
Would be great to have this.

There's a new mini-extension for WooCommerce Subscriptions that does exactly that: Setting minimum periods (or payment terms if you will) on a storewide or per-product basis.
It's available at http://woocommerce.com/products/minimum-periods-for-woocommerce-subscriptions

This one is absolutely vital. This idea has >250 votes and had been first posted back in 2017. I don't understand why it is not yet part of WooCommerce subscriptions nor why Automattic doesn't even reply to ths long list of questions on "when is this going to be delivered"...
@Automattic: What are your plans and timelines for this?

This is vital. Is there any update on this and if it is going to be implemented it was originally posted in 2017 :(

This should be a dead giveaway. How can you offer a subscription plugin that doesn't even provide a minimum term contract even though it is such a ubiquitous contract condition in many many industries?

Did anyone find a solution to this? I found this plugin but can't seem to find any reviews: https://launchandsell.com/plugins/minimum-subscription-period-wordpress-plugin/#purchase

is there an update to this? we need this functionality! especially when offering a discount, for example, if someone subscribes to a product delivery. I'm sick of seeing people take advantage of a subscription discount setup and then cancelling right after submitting the order and receiving the discount.

I agree, this shouldn't be too hard to implement and it's definitely a must have for me (and probably many others)

I've used this plugin for a while now but only ran into this problem yesterday, but it's a big downside and therefore a great need.
Requested 2 years ago already and still no action :( -
