CAN I VIBECODE

WooCommerce Subscriptions?

KINDAYou can build the valuable core, but the established product has meaningful operational complexity. Pick one narrow promise for v1.

BUILD FIRST

  1. One specific customer type and one primary use case
  2. A vertical slice that completes the main job without manual workarounds
  3. Visible limits, review steps, and a fallback when an external dependency fails

LEAVE FOR LATER

  1. Broad third-party integrations
  2. High-scale collaboration, syncing, and permissions
  3. Automation that can cause harm without human review

Build a focused replacement for WooCommerce Subscriptions based on this official public description: “WooCommerce Subscriptions - WooCommerce — WooCommerce Subscriptions is a WooCommerce extension that lets customers subscribe to your products or services and pay on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis. It integrates with over 25 payment gateways for automatic recurring payments and supports automatic rebilling on failed subscription payments. Subscribers can manage their own plan — upgrading, downgrading, suspending, or canceling — and update their shipping address or payment method. It's a paid annual extension with a 30-day money-back guarantee.” Do not copy the original brand, proprietary assets, name, logo, UI, or copy; create an original visual system.

Build only the narrow workflow described by the source. Requirements:
- model the primary input → workflow → output
- make state, errors, and dependencies visible
- provide portable data, export, and deletion
- include fixture data and a deterministic happy-path test

Out of scope for v1: feature-for-feature parity, broad integrations, proprietary data infrastructure, and unverified enterprise reliability. Use a small React/TypeScript app with a portable JSON or SQLite model, explicit loading/empty/error states, and adapters around external services. Seed demo data so the workflow works without paid credentials. Include a README with setup, environment variables, data model, implementation decisions, privacy behavior, tests, and important limitations.
