详情介绍:
- Hold on add-to-cart. Adding a guarded item reserves that quantity immediately, before checkout even starts.
- Race-condition safe. When two shoppers fight over the last unit at the same instant, a database-level lock scoped to that exact product decides it — not a stock check that was already stale by the time it ran.
- Automatic expiry. Holds release themselves after a duration you set (1 minute to 24 hours) — long enough to check out, short enough that an abandoned cart doesn't sit on your inventory.
- A clear hand-off when a hold expires. When the countdown reaches zero the released item is removed from the shopper's cart and a short pop-up explains that the reservation lapsed, with a button back to the shop — the pattern ticketing and limited-drop sites use, instead of leaving a stale cart behind.
- Order-aware. A completed order converts the hold so it stops expiring; a cancelled, failed, or refunded order releases it back to stock.
- Every stock-managed product — a store-wide safety net.
- Only products at or below a low-stock threshold you set (the default) — guard scarce items automatically without a manual checklist before every drop.
- Only products you mark individually — a checkbox right on the product's Inventory tab, with its own checkbox per variation, so one variation of a size or color can be protected without guarding the whole product.
- Per-item checkboxes always guard that item, no matter what the store-wide mode says — a manual override on top of the automatic rule, not instead of it.
- Works on both the classic shortcode-based Cart/Checkout and the block-based Cart/Checkout — no separate setup for either.
- An optional live countdown on the cart and checkout pages tells shoppers exactly how long their hold is good for. When it reaches zero it becomes a pop-up — background, text, and button colours and text size all set from the settings screen — that sends them back to the shop to start again.
- Turn the countdown off entirely and the stock protection still runs invisibly in the background.

常见问题:
How do I stop overselling on WooCommerce?
Overselling happens because WooCommerce only checks stock at checkout — two shoppers can add the last unit to their carts at the same time, and both are allowed to try to pay. Turn on Flash Sale Stock Guard for a product (or let the low-stock default catch it automatically), and stock is held the moment it's added to cart instead — so only one of those two shoppers can ever complete the order.
Is this only useful during flash sales?
No — that's just the scenario overselling happens fastest in. The same hold-on-add-to-cart protection runs every day for any product you guard, sale or no sale: low-stock items, one-off restocks, made-to-order or limited-run products, anything where two people could otherwise grab the same last unit.
Does this require WooCommerce?
Yes. It has no purpose without it, and won't do anything if WooCommerce isn't active.
What happens when a customer's hold expires?
The held quantity is released back to available stock automatically, and the item is removed from that shopper's cart. On the cart or checkout page the countdown turns into a pop-up telling them the reservation lapsed, with a button back to the shop. If the item is still in stock, adding it again starts a fresh hold.
Does this work with variable products?
Yes — holds are tracked per variation, not just per product.
Will this slow down my store?
No. Stock checks use a lightweight database lock scoped to the specific product being held, so shoppers buying different items never wait on each other.
Does the countdown work with the block-based Cart and Checkout?
Yes, alongside the classic shortcode-based versions.
Can I turn off the countdown but keep the stock protection?
Yes — the countdown display and the hold logic are controlled by separate settings.
Can I change how the expiry pop-up looks?
Yes. WooCommerce → Stock Guard → Expiry popup sets its background colour, text colour, button colours, and text size. The wording and the "back to shop" destination are fixed.
Will uninstalling the plugin delete my data?
Not by default. Your guard settings and per-product overrides stay in the database in case you reinstall. Data is only wiped if you tick "Delete data on uninstall" in the settings screen first.
