WooCommerce Product Availability Scheduler Plugin

WooCommerce Product Availability Scheduler Plugin empowers merchants to schedule product availability. A scheduled product will not be purchasable until the time has expired or disabled the scheduler. The scheduler works for all types of products. The plugin allows scheduling specific products or scheduling products by categories or a global scheduler for all products based on settings. Allow customers to enroll for the availability of the product by email address; when the product will be available the notification email can be sent to all enrolled customers for the availability of the product. The notification email can also be sent before the availability of the product, based on settings. The plugin uses WordPress’ cron jobs to check the time expiration of the scheduled products, with multiple time ranges. Set auto or manual availability for the scheduled products.

• Schedule products’ availability to increase sales.
• Allow customers to subscribe to the availability of the product.
• Set product availability automatically or manually.
• Count down timer & custom messages for scheduled products.
• Notify Customers when the product is available automatically.
• Schedule products on product level, category level, and global level.
• Supports variations of variable products.
• Allow customers to enroll email for scheduled products so that when the product is available notification email will be sent to the enrolled email.
• Allow/Restrict guest users for scheduled product enrollment.
• Notify enrolled emails by using WordPress’ cron jobs.
• Add description text before/after the timer.
• Set notification settings that the enrolled emails should be notified of the availability of the product, one day before the availability of the product or before one week.
• With special tags get the product name and product link in the notification email body to create the template.
