Overview
Some products only make sense at certain times. Meal deliveries, tickets and short promotions all depend on a clear purchase window, and a standard WooCommerce store has no built-in way to enforce one. This plugin adds that control to each product, so customers can only order when the product is meant to be on sale.
You can set availability by day of the week, by date range or by several time intervals within one day. It works with simple and variable products, and you can cap quantities per slot or limit who can buy by user role. Outside a valid slot, the store can hide the product or the Add to Cart button and show a message with the next available time.
Features
- Fixed days and time slots: Specify exact days, date ranges and multiple time intervals per day, so products are only sold during the windows you define.
- Simple and variable products: Availability settings apply to both simple and variable products, so you can use time slots across different parts of a catalog.
- Restrictions by user role: Control who can buy during a given slot by user role or specific users, which suits membership-based or wholesale stores.
- Quantity limits per slot: Cap the number of units sold in each availability window to keep orders in line with your stock and capacity.
- Bulk configuration: Apply availability settings to many products at once instead of editing each product one by one.
- Countdown timers: Show customers when a sale ends or when the next slot opens, so they know exactly when they can order.
- Hide or replace purchase options: Remove products or the Add to Cart button outside valid slots, and display an informative message with the next available time.
- Interval and buffer settings: Choose 15, 30 or 60-minute intervals and add buffer time so customers can finish a purchase after a slot closes.
Best for
- Stores selling meals, tickets or other time-sensitive goods
- Shops running scheduled or limited-time promotions
- Wholesale or membership stores restricting purchases by role
