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.
