Allow for n-to-1 relationship about woocommerce-subscriptions-restrict-product HOT 6 CLOSED

With this in mind, I think the plugin name and purpose can be expanded to the more generic to Use Stock Qty Only for Initial Product Purchase. That will facilitate both the one-to-one method (by setting Stock Qty to 1), the 4-to-1, and any other combination. It's certainly something I've seen requested previously (it's in a similar vein to this plugin, only it goes the extra step of handling when subscriptions are cancelled).

so this line would need to be removed

You might instead just want to change the cache to:

1. use the $product_id as the key in the $cache array
2. increment/decrement the value of that based on the activation/deactivation of subscriptions

@thenbrent This plugin is actually designed to get around the inventory system completely. To use it effectively, the inventory should be turned off for subscription products. This is important because for the inventory system to prevent a product from being purchased, it also prevents it from being purchased when a failed order is manually paid for.

With this, we will be able to hide products from the front end without preventing them from being purchased when a 'pay now' link is clicked by customers.

Therefore, the name might be better something like Limit Subscriptions per Product.

Therefore, the name might be better something like Limit Subscriptions per Product.

The issue with that is the overlap and ambiguity between the use of the term Limit with the Limit feature in Subscriptions. But something like "Restrict product to one" or similar might be suitable.

Ah right of course, I forgot about that. In that case, I wonder if this Issue/feature is better served as part of: https://github.com/Prospress/woocommerce-subscriptions-do-not-reduce-stock-on-renewal ?
