Product Deadline plugin for WordPress

Product Deadline is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to seamlessly integrate with WooCommerce, allowing store owners to add a deadline feature to their products. This plugin enables sellers to create urgency by adding a time-bound offer to their products, thereby encouraging customers to make purchases before the deadline expires.

With the Product Deadline plugin, users can set start and end dates, a countdown timer, and even specify actions after the countdown, such as hiding the "Add to Cart" button once the offer ends. This feature is ideal for creating flash sales, special discounts, and limited-time promotions that drive more sales by leveraging scarcity and urgency.

Key Features

1. Flexible Deadline Options: Set specific start and end dates for product offers to create urgency and increase conversions. The plugin allows you to choose exact dates and times for when the promotion should begin and end.
2. Countdown Timer Display: Add a countdown timer on the product page that shows customers exactly how much time is left until the offer expires. The countdown timer can be positioned at the top of the product page or in other custom locations.
3. Automatic Action After Deadline: Configure automatic actions after the deadline, such as hiding the "Add to Cart" button once the offer period ends, making it clear to customers that the offer is no longer available.
4. Customizable Countdown Text: Set custom messages to be displayed before, during, or after the countdown period, such as "Flash Sale!" or "Hurry up!". This feature helps create a more engaging experience for customers.
5. Background Image Integration: Option to add custom background images that can be displayed alongside the countdown timer, enhancing the visual appeal of the promotional product page.
6. Urgency for Limited-Time Offers: Encourage customers to complete their purchases by leveraging a sense of urgency, which is effective for driving quick decisions on time-sensitive offers like seasonal sales or product launches.
7. User-Friendly Interface: Seamlessly integrates with WooCommerce’s product editor, making it easy for store owners to add a product deadline while adding or editing a product without any additional hassle.
8. Comprehensive Compatibility: Works smoothly with all WooCommerce themes and integrates well with existing WooCommerce functionality, ensuring compatibility and avoiding conflicts with other plugins.
9. Position Control: Choose the position of the countdown timer on the product page to ensure it captures attention where it matters most.

Developer area

The Developer Area is designed to assist developers in customizing or adding new features to the Product Deadline plugin. Below are some examples of hooks, filters, and code snippets to help you get started with customizing the plugin:

1. Hooks and Filters

The plugin includes various action hooks and filters that allow you to extend or modify its functionality. Here are some examples:

Example Hook: product_deadline_after_countdown

This action hook is triggered after the countdown timer ends. You can add custom functionality like hiding buttons or sending notifications.

add_action('product_deadline_after_countdown', 'my_custom_after_deadline_action');
function my_custom_after_deadline_action($product_id) {
    // Custom code to execute after the countdown ends
    // For example, hide the "Add to Cart" button
    if ($product_id) {
        echo "<script>document.querySelector('.add-to-cart-button').style.display = 'none';</script>";
    }
}

Example Filter: product_deadline_timer_text

This filter can be used to modify the text that appears alongside the countdown timer.

add_filter('product_deadline_timer_text', 'my_custom_timer_text');
function my_custom_timer_text($default_text) {
    return 'Hurry up! Offer ends in:';
}

2. Custom Actions After Deadline

Developers can add custom actions after the deadline ends using custom hooks or add new conditions. For example, you may want to trigger an email notification to customers or admins.

add_action('product_deadline_after_expiry', 'send_expiry_notification');
function send_expiry_notification($product_id) {
    $product = wc_get_product($product_id);
    $admin_email = get_option('admin_email');
    $subject = 'Product Deadline Expired';
    $message = 'The deadline for product: ' . $product->get_name() . ' has expired.';
    wp_mail($admin_email, $subject, $message);
}

3. CSS Customization

You can modify the styling of the countdown timer by adding custom CSS to your theme’s stylesheet or via the WordPress Customizer.

.product-deadline-timer {
    background-color: #ff0000;  /* Change timer background color */
    color: #ffffff;  /* Change timer text color */
    padding: 10px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    font-size: 16px;
    text-align: center;
}

4. Custom Countdown Timer Position

If you need to add the countdown timer to a specific place on the product page, you can use the following code snippet:

add_action('woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'add_custom_countdown_position', 20);
function add_custom_countdown_position() {
    if (function_exists('display_product_deadline_countdown')) {
        display_product_deadline_countdown(get_the_ID());
    }
}

5. Integration with Other Plugins

The Product Deadline plugin is built to be compatible with other plugins. For instance, you could integrate it with email marketing tools like MailChimp to create campaigns based on product deadlines.

add_action('product_deadline_after_countdown', 'trigger_mailchimp_campaign');
function trigger_mailchimp_campaign($product_id) {
    // Custom code to trigger a MailChimp campaign based on product expiry
    // This could involve making an API call to MailChimp
}

6. Using JavaScript for Countdown Customization

To further customize the countdown behavior, you may use JavaScript. Here is an example that updates the timer format dynamically.

<script>
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
        var countdown = document.querySelector('.product-deadline-timer');
        if (countdown) {
            // Custom JavaScript to modify countdown display
            countdown.innerHTML = "Limited Time Offer: " + countdown.innerHTML;
        }
    });
</script>
