Product sale countdown

The product sale countdown shows how much time remains before a scheduled WooCommerce sale ends. It can appear in product archives, product grids, and on single product pages.

The countdown is displayed only while the scheduled sale is active. A sale price without an end date does not provide a date for the timer.

Schedule the product sale

  1. Navigate to Dashboard -> Products -> All Products and edit the required product.
  2. In Product data -> General, enter the Sale price.
  3. Click Schedule and set the Sale price dates — From and To.
  4. Update the product.

Set a sale price and schedule its start and end dates in the WooCommerce product editor.

WooCommerce activates the sale on the From date and ends it on the To date. For more information about these fields, see the WooCommerce Product Editor settings.

Enable the countdown globally

Use the Theme Settings when the standard WoodMart product templates are active:

  • Product archives — navigate to Theme Settings -> Product archive -> Products loop and enable Countdown timer. This applies to the shop and other product archive pages.
  • Single product pages — navigate to Theme Settings -> Single product -> Elements and enable Countdown timer.

Enable the countdown in a Products element

Edit the Products (grid or carousel) element and enable Sale countdown in its element or product-design settings. This setting controls the countdown only for that Products element and can override the global archive presentation.

For the other product query and layout controls, see the Products (grid or carousel) documentation.

Use the countdown in a custom layout

When a product page or product card is built with the WoodMart Layouts builder, add the Product countdown element directly to the required position in the Single Product Layout or Product Loop Item Layout. The element is displayed only for products with an active scheduled sale.

Variable products

For a variable product, configure the sale price and schedule inside each required variation under Product data -> Variations.

To display the timer for variable products in standard templates and product loops, navigate to Theme Settings -> Single product -> Elements, enable Countdown timer, and then enable Countdown for variable products. WoodMart uses the sale dates from the first available variation, so make sure that variation has the intended schedule.
