    How to create a countdown timer for the launch of a product in WooCommerce?

    I want to show a countdown on the products that will go on sale soon.

    I have seen Premium Plugins, is there a free Plugin with which I can do this?

    I only need to show a counter on a product that will be displayed soon, regardless of the price, I just want to show a countdown timer, and stop it when the product is on sale. A similar thing to the beginning of “Black Friday”, but without the need to change the price. I can leave the price empty, so that it cannot be purchased until the end of the counter.

    I have searched and tried Plugins but none do what I need.

    Some Premium plugins can add countdowns to set offers on the price of the products, but I need to show the product in the store, and it cannot be purchased until the countdown ends.

    It is necessary to add a Budge with the countdown in the products that we select, and prevent the purchase of that product until the countdown ends, and enable the purchase when the countdown time ends, it can be manually or automatically

    Is there a Free Plugin to do this ?

    Can it be done by code?
    Thank you

    Do you understand what I want to do?

    Hello @miguelappslaparra,

    Woocommerce products are modified WordPress post types so you can delay the product’s publish time just like with normal posts.

    Alternatively, you can check what the Countdown Timer extension has to offer.

    I should note that all extensions sold on WooCommerce.com have a 30-day refund policy. If the product doesn’t work the way you need it or you think another product would work better, we are more than happy to provide a full refund.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Thank you for your answer and I apologize for the delay in making my answer, I wanted to test before commenting on your proposal.

    I must say that the option is good, I have tried the plugin for free and it works.

    The drawback is that in my case I only need the Countdown Timer on certain dates, which is not convenient to pay for the add-on for a whole year to only use it for 10 days.
    But as I say, the plugin is fully functional and meets the needs of my question, although I am looking for a simpler option.

    Feel free to mark this discussion as resolved @babylon1999 , your answer is good, but I’ll keep looking for other options.

    Thanks for your support
