Description
Sale Timer for WooCommerce – Saletix automatically displays a sale-end notice on WooCommerce single product pages whenever a sale end date is set. Choose from three display styles and position it exactly where you want — directly above or below the Add to Cart button — to create urgency and increase conversions.
No coding required. Works out of the box with any WooCommerce theme.
Three Display Styles
Text Notice
A clean, simple message — “🔥 Sale ends in 3 days” — styled to match your store.
Live Countdown Timer
A ticking days / hours / mins / secs countdown that updates every second. Creates strong urgency without slowing down your page (vanilla JS, no dependencies).
Urgency Progress Bar
A visual bar showing how much of the sale period is left. Automatically shifts colour from amber orange red as the deadline approaches, giving shoppers an instant sense of scarcity.

FAQ
-
Does this work without a sale end date?
-
No. Saletix only displays a notice when a WooCommerce sale end date is scheduled on the product. If no end date is set, nothing is shown.
-
Which display style should I use?
-
The Countdown style creates the strongest urgency and typically drives the highest conversion lift. The Progress Bar is great for visually communicating scarcity. Use Text for a subtle, minimal look.
-
Where on the page does the notice appear?
-
By default it appears just above the Add to Cart button. You can switch it to below the Add to Cart button in the plugin settings. Both positions use dedicated WooCommerce hooks so placement is precise across all themes.
-
Does it slow down my site?
-
No. The plugin loads a small CSS file on product pages only. The countdown JS file is loaded only when the Countdown style is selected. There are no external scripts or requests.
-
Does it work with variable products?
-
Yes. Saletix works with all WooCommerce product types (simple, variable, grouped) as long as a sale end date is configured.
-
Does it work with my theme?
-
Yes. Saletix uses the standard
woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_formandwoocommerce_after_add_to_cart_formhooks which are part of WooCommerce core and supported by all properly built WooCommerce themes. -
Can I translate the plugin?
-
Yes. Saletix is fully translation-ready. A
.potfile is included in the/languages/folder. You can use Loco Translate or any compatible tool to add your language. -
Is there a Pro version?
-
A Pro version with extended features is planned. Stay tuned on the ThemeWant website.
