• Assign timers to specific products using the Include Product option
• Exclude certain products from a timer using the Exclude Product option

WooCommerce Categories – the timer will be displayed on all categories’ products.

WooCommerce Tags – the timer will be displayed on all products with this tag.

Include products – assign the timer to a specific product.

Exclude products – remove the timer from required products (the element will not be displayed on these products).

Product meta box

↑ Back to top

In the meta box, you can assign the timer for the product and the schedule for it as well.

If you have assigned a specific timer to a group of products, but one of the products needs a different timer, go to the meta box of that product, select the desired template, set the date, and update the changes.

The selected timer template will then be applied to the product.

Important!

If you assign timers from both the library and the meta box to the same product, the timer from the meta box will take precedence.
