Product Availability Slots for WooCommerce is an extension designed for stores that need to sell products or services in specific time slots. It allows you to precisely define when a product is available for purchase or reservation, avoiding orders at times when the business cannot handle them. It is especially useful for businesses with limited capacity by hours, days, or shifts, such as local delivery services, rentals, reservations, food orders, or products by appointment.
The extension works with both simple and variable products, allowing you to configure availability at the variation level. You can restrict purchases to specific date ranges, specific days of the week, or specific time slots within each day. Additionally, it supports configuring multiple time slots per day, making it ideal for flash sales, food orders, or limited releases.
Among its most notable features are countdown timers that display on both the product page and the store, informing customers about the next available date and time. It also allows you to automatically hide products that are no longer available, manage stock per time slot to prevent overselling, and configure off days for holidays or maintenance.
The extension offers user or role-based restriction controls, allowing you to create exclusive offers for VIP customers, wholesalers, or members. It includes buffer time options so customers can complete their purchase after the time slot expires, improving order completion rates. Bulk updates allow you to apply availability settings to multiple products at once from a centralized interface, saving time on large catalogs.
You can also temporarily close the entire store with custom messages, manage product visibility based on availability, and show or hide timezone details according to administrator preferences. The extension is translation-ready and allows you to customize the messages displayed to customers.
In short, Product Availability Slots for WooCommerce is a complete solution for any business that operates with defined schedules and needs to automate the management of product availability, improving the customer experience and optimizing day-to-day operations.
