详情介绍:
Offer Countdown Timer for WooCommerce adds a fast, readable sale countdown to your product pages, so shoppers always see how long a promotion lasts. It is built for flash sales, seasonal campaigns, clearance events, and limited-time pricing without touching code.
The timer prints on the storefront hook
woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_form. Scripts and styles load only when a product actually has an active countdown and timers are enabled globally—keeping unrelated pages light.
Why merchants use this plugin
- Clear urgency — A live clock reinforces ethical scarcity (deadline visibility, not fake stock counts).
- Native WooCommerce workflow — Works alongside your products and optional automatic sale-price cleanup when an offer ends.
- Operator-friendly — Global switches, per-product overrides, and optional offer start date so the banner stays hidden until go-live.
- Global enable/disable — Pause every storefront countdown from Offer Countdown → Settings without editing products.
- Configurable sale cleanup — When the countdown ends, optionally remove the WooCommerce sale price or leave pricing unchanged.
- Five countdown templates — Circular, gradient, pill, and more; preview under Offer Countdown → Templates (Template 1 opens first).
- Default template + per-product override — Store-wide default with optional template choice per product in the Offer Countdown Timer meta box.
- Custom promo message + placement — Short headline-style message above or below the digits.
- Optional offer start date — Set Offer start date (optional) on the product; the banner appears only after that moment (uses WordPress timezone handling via
current_time/ localized datetime inputs). - Accessibility-oriented display — Optional
role="timer",aria-label, dedicatedaria-liveregion, and periodic screen-reader announcements (toggle under Settings). - Expired banner behavior — Choose whether the banner hides when time hits zero or remains visible at zero (paired with frontend expiry logic and optional AJAX-driven cleanup).
- Responsive layouts — Timer blocks adapt across breakpoints defined in bundled CSS.
- Developer hooks — Filters/actions include
offct_resolve_end_time,offct_banner_html,offct_banner_root_attributes,offct_before_render_banner,offct_after_render_banner,offct_countdown_labels,offct_oct_data_localize,offct_product_meta_box_fields,offct_template_ids, andoffct_template_label. - Translation-ready — Text domain
offer-countdown-time.
- Campaign-driven end times — Assign schedules and recurrence patterns to products or categories; active campaigns override fixed product end timestamps via
offct_resolve_end_time. - Evergreen timers — Per-product visitor windows (
_oct_timer_mode) coordinated through Pro services. - Extra placements — Shop/archive compact timers (
woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item), cart/checkout reservation timers,[oct_countdown]shortcode, and theoffct/product-countdownGutenberg block (WooCommerce block category). - Analytics — Lightweight storefront tracking with configurable retention (see Pro settings).
- REST API — Namespaced routes under
offct/v1for authenticated store managers (list/update products tied to countdown meta). - Visual customization — Additional preset templates (IDs 6–15), Template Maker–built custom templates with generated CSS, sticky banner mode, colour tokens, custom digit sizing, custom unit labels, and optional custom CSS inlined when scripts enqueue.
- Bulk tooling & expiry actions — Bulk editors plus configurable expiry behaviours (redirects and related flows exposed through frontend JSON).
Requires Plugins: offer-countdown-time and validates dependencies on bootstrap.
Privacy
The free countdown does not profile visitors for marketing retargeting. Standard WordPress, WooCommerce, and hosting logs apply. Pro analytics (when licensed) store merchant-facing metrics according to Pro settings—review those screens before enabling in regulated industries.

常见问题:
Where are global options?
Offer Countdown → Settings. Enable/disable all storefront timers, sale cleanup, default template, message position, accessibility enhancements, and expired-banner visibility.
How do I schedule when a banner becomes visible?
On the product, fill Offer start date (optional). Until that timestamp passes, OFFCT_Frontend::get_product_countdown_context() returns no banner even if an end date exists.
Where does the countdown appear on the product page?
Immediately before the add-to-cart form (woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_form). Developers may relocate output using the surrounding actions/filters.
What happens when the timer reaches zero?
Visually, the banner can hide or remain at zero depending on Hide expired banner under Settings. If Remove sale price when offer expires is enabled, WooCommerce sale metadata can clear via admin/cron checks and optional frontend coordination—consistent with OFFCT_Offer_Countdown_Time::remove_sale_price().
Can I silence every countdown without editing products?
Yes. Disable Enable countdown timer globally on Offer Countdown → Settings.
Does the plugin support accessibility preferences?
Yes. Keep Accessibility enhancements enabled to expose timer semantics and polite aria-live updates (throttled in assets/js/frontend.js). Screen reader users get periodic consolidated announcements instead of noisy per-second chatter.
Which timezone applies?
WordPress Settings → General timezone and GMT offset feed both PHP (current_time) and the JavaScript offset parser shipped with frontend.js.
Are Campaigns or Template Maker fully available in the free plugin?
You can explore the interfaces and previews. Persisted campaigns, saved Template Maker designs, and licensed analytics require Offer Countdown Timer for WooCommerce Pro with an active license (offct_is_pro_licensed() gates mutations).
How do I upgrade to Pro?
Visit Offer Countdown → Upgrade Pro inside wp-admin or https://www.queuecommerce.com/offer-countdown-time/ . Activate Pro after this free plugin and WooCommerce.
