<h2>Keep Customers Updated with Product Availability Status</h2>
<p>Merchants often struggle with selling limited-time-only products in their e-commerce stores. The majority of the struggle comes from adding availability and unavailability schedules. Now, with a product availability scheduler for WooCommerce, merchants can easily schedule product availability and unavailability statuses, show an availability timer on product and listing pages, and let customers add their emails to get notified on product availability.<br />

<h2>Show Availability Status & Timer on Product and Listing Pages</h2>
<p>Apart from displaying the availability scheduler on product pages, merchants can also display all the availability information like availability status, countdown timer, and messages on listing pages. This ensures that customers can see the availability status without visiting the product page.<br />

<h2>Create Global Product Availability Scheduling Rules</h2>
<p>Easily apply the product availability scheduler to multiple products and categories at once using global product rules. Choose whether to create a product availability or unavailability schedule and add the days, start & end date/time for the availability schedule. Hide the price and add availability and unavailability messages.<br />

<h3>Restrict Availability Status by Product, Category, and Tag</h3>
<p>Merchants can apply and restrict the availability scheduler to all or specific products, categories, and product tags. This ensures that limited-time-only products have availability scheduling only.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734005147333" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/woocommerce-product-availability-scheduler-6-1.png" alt="" width="980" height="630" /></p>
<h3>Offer Availability Scheduling to Specific User Roles</h3>
<p>Merchants can hide or show product availability scheduling for specific user roles or users only. This ensures that only customers or customer types that are needed to be targetted for limited-time-only products, are targetted.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734005147380" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/woocommerce-product-availability-scheduler-7-2.png" alt="" width="980" height="630" /></p>
<h2>Add Availability Scheduling at Product Level</h2>
<p>While the rules are helpful in adding an availability scheduler to multiple products and categories at once, product-level settings enable merchants to add scheduling for specific products. All the rule-level settings are easily applicable to each product.<br />

<h2>Detailed Log for Emails Collected</h2>
<p>Merchants are provided with a complete log of all the customer emails collected for availability notifications. The product availability emails are sent automatically, and merchants can customize these email templates easily.<br />
