WPC Product Timer 5.3.0 – for WooCommerce

The WPC Product Timer for WooCommerce is a comprehensive product management and scheduling plugin that uses time-based conditions to control various aspects of your WooCommerce products, sales, and inventory.

Unlike simple countdown timer display plugins (like WPC Countdown Timer), the WPC Product Timer is primarily a backend automation tool that controls actual product functionality based on the time and date.

 Core Functionality: Time-Based Automation

The plugin allows store owners to define highly complex time and date combinations to automatically trigger one or more actions on a product.³ This eliminates the need for manual intervention during sales events or inventory changes.

1. Time Conditionals (When to Act)

The flexibility here is the main selling point. You can set rules based on:

• Exact Dates: Specific start and end dates/times for an event.
• Recurring Dates: Daily, Weekly (on specific days like every Monday), or Monthly.
• Date Ranges: Set an action to occur during a fixed period (e.g., “every day for the first week of December”).
• Time Periods: Set actions to occur within specific time windows (e.g., “from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM”).

2. Product Actions (What to Change)

When the time condition is met, the plugin automatically executes a specific action on the selected product(s):

• Price Management: Set or remove the Sale Price (automatically starts/ends a sale).
• Availability: Set a product as Purchasable or Unpurchasable.
• Stock Condition: Change the product status to In Stock or Out of Stock.
• Visibility: Set the product as Visible or Hidden from the shop/search results.
• Listing Status: Set the product as Featured or remove the featured status.

3. Global Timer (PRO Feature)

This premium feature saves immense time by allowing you to apply a single, complex timer setup to:

• All products in your store.
• Products belonging to selected categories.
• Specific products identified by tags.

 Strategic Benefits for E-commerce

The WPC Product Timer is an essential tool for store managers who need reliable, conditional, and automated control over their WooCommerce catalog based on the clock and calendar.
