2 of 5 measures had too little evidence to score. They are left out of the total rather than counted as zero — otherwise a plugin would be marked down for being small rather than for being poorly kept.Measured 2026-08-01 from the WordPress.org plugin registry.
Ratings

No one has rated this plugin on WordPress.org yet. That is a statement about the ratings page, not about the plugin — plenty of well-kept plugins never collect them.

PromoTimer lets you plan time-boxed promotions for WooCommerce products with start/end date and time, display a live countdown on the product page, and customize all texts, emojis, and colors.

Works for simple products and product variations — each variation can be scheduled independently.

Perfect for: flash sales, limited-time offers, seasonal discounts, and product launches.

Highlights
– 🕒 Schedule sales precisely: start/end date + hour:minute
– 🔥 Pre-promo message: “Promotion starts on DATE at TIME”
– ⏳ Live countdown during promo: “Hurry up! Promotion ends in: 12:02:45”
– 💸 Under-price message during promo: “Take advantage! This product is on promotion.”
– 🧼 Auto-cleanup after expiry: removes promo meta and resets sale price
– 🎯 Full support for variable products (per-variation scheduling)
– 🎨 Admin settings to customize texts, emoji, and colors
– 🌍 Fully translatable (.pot included)
– 🧰 Clean architecture, no template overrides

Requires WooCommerce to be active.

  • Promo badge in shop/category/archive pages
  • Cache compatibility: LiteSpeed, WP Rocket, W3TC, WP Super Cache and more
  • Internationalization ready (/languages/promo-timer.pot)

Does it require WooCommerce?

Yes. The plugin hooks into WooCommerce product/variation edit screens and the single product template.

Will it work with variable products?

Yes. Each variation has its own start/end date and time. The frontend countdown and messages update when a variation is selected.

Does it change my theme templates?

No template overrides. It uses standard WooCommerce hooks only.

Can I customize the texts and emoji?

Yes. Go to WooCommerce → PromoTimer. You can customize the emoji, main color, and 3 text messages (before promo, during promo, under price). Placeholders {date} and {time} are supported.

Is it translatable?

Yes. Fully internationalized with a .pot file included in /languages. Use Loco Translate or Poedit.

What happens when the promotion ends?

A WP-Cron task runs hourly to clean expired promotions: removes promo meta fields, resets the WooCommerce sale price, and clears cache. The countdown also disappears automatically on the frontend.

Is there a PRO version?

Yes! PromoTimer PRO adds bulk promotions by category, a campaigns manager, and an admin product list column. Learn more here.
