How Do I Add a Coming Soon Product in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:58 pm

If you’re setting up a new WooCommerce store, or if you’re adding a new product to an existing store, you may want to add a “coming soon” product. This allows you to list the product on your site without making it available for purchase yet.

It’s a great way to generate interest in a new product, or to build hype for an upcoming release.

There are two ways to add a coming soon product in WooCommerce. The first is to use the built-in “product scheduler” feature. This allows you to set a start and end date for the product, after which it will become available (or unavailable) for purchase.

To use this feature, go to the “edit” screen for the product in question and scroll down to the “product data” section. Here, you’ll see an option for “schedule.” Select this option and then enter the start and end date for the product.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to add a coming soon product in WooCommerce, it is important to note that this product will not be visible to customers until the date you specify. Additionally, the product will not be able to be purchased until it is made live on your site.

The second way to add a coming soon product is to use the “pre-order” feature. This allows customers to place an order for the product before it’s available. To use this feature, go again to the “edit” screen for the product in question and scroll down to the “product data” section.

Here, you’ll see an option for “pre-order.” Select this option and then enter the date when the product will be available. Customers will be able to place orders for the product starting on that date.

Once you’ve added a coming soon product using either method, it will appear in your shop like any other product. However, it will be clearly marked as “coming soon” so that customers know that they can’t purchase it yet. If you’re using the pre-order feature, customers will also see an indication of when they can expect the product to ship.

Conclusion:
There are two ways that you can add Coming Soon Products in WooCommerce.

The first way is by using Scheduler.

The second way is by using Pre-Orders.

Once added, Coming Soon Products appear like any other products would in WooCommerce.
