CG Product Availability Scheduler
Control when, where, and who can purchase your products — with scheduling rules based on time, location, and user roles
WooCommerce gives you a solid foundation to run an online store, but it doesn’t tell you when to sell. CG Product Availability Scheduler fills that gap — letting you restrict or open up purchases by time of day, day of the week, customer location, or user role. Whether you run a food delivery service, a wholesale operation, or a global shop, this extension gives you precise control without writing a single line of code.

The Sort | Hide Out-of-Stock plugin for WooCommerce helps you maintain a clean, shopper-friendly storefront by automatically hiding or rearranging unavailable products. You can choose to completely remove out-of-stock items from your store, push them to the bottom of product listings, or sort them however you prefer—either storewide or within specific categories and tags.
Once products are restocked, they reappear automatically, ensuring your catalog stays up to date without manual work. Advanced features like role-based visibility, custom redirects from unavailable product pages, and a detailed hidden-stock report give you complete control over how out-of-stock products are handled.
