详情介绍:
- Edit the product in WooCommerce → find the "Scheduled sale prices" section
- Add: 19,99 € from Nov 28 to Dec 1 (Black Friday)
- Add: 30% off from Dec 20 to Dec 26 (Christmas)
- Add: 12 € off from Jan 5 to Jan 15 (January sale)
- Save the product once. Done.
- Before anything goes live, the editor tells you what the EU Omnibus rules will see: Christmas at 20,99 € is not lower than the 19,99 € of Black Friday a few weeks before, so it should not be announced as a reduction, and the January sale will be measured against 20,99 €, not 29,99 €.
- Go to Marketing > Sales Scheduler > Campaigns
- Pick categories or tags, the discount and the dates
- Click Preview: every product appears with its campaign price and the prior price the EU Omnibus rules will measure it against
- The preview marks the products where the sale would not be a real reduction, and the ones that already have a sale on those dates
- Untick what you don't want and schedule it
- All-in-one free solution combining: multiple sales per product, percentage and fixed amount discounts, variations support, CSV import/export, activity log, overlap priority, dashboard widget and Command Palette
- EU Omnibus prior price, before and after the sale: the editor warns you while you plan a chain of sales, your store strikes through or shows the right prior price, and the price history tab is your record of which price applied when
- Integrated into the product editor, plus a campaigns tab to put whole categories on sale
- Lightweight: no build process, no external dependencies, no JavaScript frameworks

- Dynamic pricing: Schedule both discounts and price increases
- Each sale has its own start and end date and time, down to the minute
- Omnibus check while you plan: each scheduled sale shows the prior price it will be measured against, counting your other scheduled sales, and warns you when it would not be a real reduction
- Omnibus on your store: the prior price struck through instead of the regular price, or a note with it, with your own text and the number of days your country asks for

常见问题:
Does this work with variable products?
Yes, the plugin fully supports both simple and variable products. Each variation can have its own scheduled sales and priority settings.
What happens if two sales overlap?
You can configure the priority (lowest price, highest price, first scheduled, or last scheduled) both globally in settings and per product/variation. The plugin will automatically apply the sale price according to your priority setting.
Can I import existing WooCommerce sales?
Yes, the plugin includes an "Import current sale" button that converts existing WooCommerce sales into scheduled sales, allowing you to add more sales to the same product.
Can I put a whole category on sale at once?
Yes, in the Campaigns tab. Choose categories or tags, the discount and the dates, and check the preview before scheduling:
- Each product shows its campaign price and its EU Omnibus prior price.
- Products where the sale would not be a real reduction are marked.
- So are the ones that already have a sale on those dates.
Is there a limit of products per campaign?
No. Version 1.7.0 saved only the first 50 products of a campaign. Update, then use Add missing products in the campaign row to complete it.
Does the prior price include my discount rules or currency plugin?
No. The plugin records the prices saved in WooCommerce, in your store currency. Discounts another plugin applies on top, and prices converted to other currencies, are not recorded. The plugin screen tells you when one of those plugins is active, so you can check those prices yourself.
Can I bulk import sales?
Yes, use the CSV import feature in the settings page to bulk import scheduled sales for multiple products. You can also download a CSV template to see the required format.
Is this compatible with HPOS?
Yes, the plugin is fully compatible with WooCommerce's High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
How often does the plugin check for sales to activate?
By default WordPress cron checks every hour, but you can change this to every 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes in the Settings tab. More frequent checks make exact start and end times more precise. Note that WordPress cron depends on your site receiving traffic to run on schedule.
Can I schedule sales by exact time, not just by date?
Yes. Since version 1.3.0 each scheduled sale has a start and end time (hour and minute), interpreted in your store's timezone. Sales created before 1.3.0 keep working: with no specific time set, they start at the beginning of the first day and end at the end of the last day.
Can I automatically delete old expired sales?
Yes, you can configure automatic deletion of expired sales after a specified period (30, 60, 90, 180, or 365 days) in the General settings tab. This helps keep your database clean.
How long are activity logs kept?
You can configure log retention from 30 to 365 days in the General settings. Logs older than the retention period are automatically deleted.
What happens to scheduled sales when I delete a product?
You can use the "Clean orphaned schedules" button in the Overview tab to remove all scheduled sales from deleted or invalid products.
Can I get notified before a sale ends?
Yes, you can enable notifications to alert you a specified number of days (1-30) before a sale expires, giving you time to plan your next promotion.
Can I schedule price increases, not just sales?
Yes! While the plugin is designed primarily for scheduling sale prices (discounts), you have complete flexibility to set any price - including prices higher than the regular price. This allows you to handle seasonal pricing adjustments, high-demand periods, or other dynamic pricing strategies. Note: If you schedule a price higher than the regular price, the product will simply show the scheduled price without displaying a "sale" badge or strikethrough pricing.
Does this plugin work with the WordPress Command Palette?
Yes! Since version 1.2.0, the plugin registers two commands in the WordPress Command Palette (Cmd+K on Mac, Ctrl+K on Windows): "Export scheduled offers to CSV" for quick CSV downloads, and "Show scheduled offers" to jump directly to the overview page. These commands work from any admin screen (requires WordPress 6.3 or higher).
How do I show the lowest price of the last 30 days (EU Omnibus prior price)?
The Directive asks that a price reduction shows the prior price: the lowest price of the product in the 30 days before the reduction. When sales follow each other, that price is not your regular price.
- In the product editor, each scheduled sale shows the prior price it will have, counting your other scheduled sales, and warns you when a sale would not be lower than it.
- On your store, the plugin strikes through the prior price instead of the regular price, or adds a note with it.
- The Price history tab keeps every price change for 13 months and exports it to CSV.
Why is the struck-through price lower than my regular price?
Because the product was cheaper in the days before the sale, and that is the price the rules measure the reduction against. If the sale is not lower than that price, the plugin shows it as a plain price, without strikethrough or note. You can go back to striking through the regular price in the Settings tab. This applies to product pages and product lists. The cart and checkout blocks still show the regular price struck through.
Can my theme or another plugin show the prior price?
Yes. Developers can use ayudawp_msps_get_prior_price(), ayudawp_msps_get_prior_price_note(), ayudawp_msps_strikes_prior_price() and ayudawp_msps_shows_plain_price(), or the msps_omnibus_price_note_html filter to change or remove the note.
更新日志:
- Improved: Add missing products, in each campaign row. It previews the products of the campaign's categories and tags that do not have its sale yet (published after it, or left out when it was scheduled), with their Omnibus check, and adds the ones you tick. A product whose sale was removed in the product editor is not offered again
- Improved: New setting under EU Omnibus prior price, off by default: do not announce a reduction while the plugin has not recorded the whole period before the sale, as in the first days after installing it or for a product created or imported recently. Those sales are shown as a plain price, without strikethrough, sale badge or prior price note
- Improved: The plugin screen tells you when a discount rules or currency plugin is active, because the discounts and converted prices they show are not in the price history or the prior price
- Improved: A campaign gets one notice when it starts and one when it ends soon, each with its number of products, instead of one notice per product
- Improved: Developers can ask whether the store shows a sale as a plain price with ayudawp_msps_shows_plain_price()
- Fix: A campaign with more than 50 products was saved with only 50, although the preview found them all and the confirmation counted them all. Campaigns created with 1.7.0 keep the products they got: use Add missing products to complete them
- Fix: The confirmation after scheduling a campaign counts the products that got its sale, not the ones you ticked
- Fix: The notice when a scheduled sale starts never appeared. Now the scheduled check shows it when it applies the sale. With that setting on, as it is by default, you will start seeing these notices. Sales already running when you update are not announced
- Fix: Product names in the sale notices are shown as plain text
- Fix: Scheduling a campaign only writes its sale into products of its categories and tags
- Fix: The Overview tab no longer deletes schedules it cannot show while it loads. The Clean orphaned schedules button still removes them
- Fix: The CSV import result is shown as plain text
- New: Campaigns tab: schedule one sale (percentage or amount off, with optional price limits) on every product of the categories or tags you choose, variations included. Before anything is saved, a preview checks each product against its EU Omnibus prior price, counting the sales you already scheduled, and marks the ones that would not be a real reduction or that overlap another sale. A campaign only lowers prices: a product whose campaign price would not be below its regular price is left out. Each campaign shows which products it is on, with the price each one gets, its prior price and whether another sale wins the overlap, and links to the WooCommerce product list filtered by campaign. Deleting a campaign removes only its own sale from each product
- Improved: Sales added by a campaign show the campaign name in the product editor
- Improved: The activity log records a CSV import or a campaign as one entry, with its number of products
- Fix: The scheduled sales check saved every product on sale again on every run (every 5 to 60 minutes), which fired the WooCommerce product update hooks (feed syncs, cache purges, search reindexing) and, with the log on, added an activation entry each time. Now a product is saved only when its price has to change
- Fix: The price history dates a scheduled price change at its scheduled start or end, not at the moment the check applied it, so the 30-day window of the next sale starts where it should
- Fix: A variation sale that has already started applies as soon as you add it, and goes away as soon as you delete it, as on simple products, instead of waiting for the next check
- Fix: Shop managers can save the plugin settings. They could open the page, but saving needed administrator permissions
- Fix: The CSV import applies sales that have already started right away, only accepts products and variations you can edit, rejects variable products (their sales go on each variation) and rejects impossible dates such as February 30 instead of moving them to another day
- Fix: The price history list and its full export only include products you can edit
- Fix: Products added after the first price history seeding without a WooCommerce save, as some importers do, get their starting point in the daily check
- Fix: In the price history export, a timezone written as an offset (+01:00) no longer gets an apostrophe in front
- Fix: The prior price note keeps the markup WooCommerce gives prices, which keeps the amount in order in right-to-left languages and the currency symbol out of browser translation
- Fix: The price history list skips a stored value that is not a valid history instead of showing a price of 0
- Fix: The activity log showed prices with their HTML code
