Coming Soon Badges for WooCommerce

FAQ

Where I setup the badges?

On admin side, go to WooCommerce > Coming Soon config

How to disable adding to cart when the product is set to coming soon?

The plugin doesn’t do it for now. There are two ways in WooCommerce to lock a product purchase:

1. You can remove the regular and sale price for a product, or

2. You can set the product stock to 0, or the stock status to out of stock (if you haven’t set the WooCommerce product setting “Hide out of stock items from catalog”, otherwise product will be hidden)

Where I set coming soon for my products?

Enter on a product edition, and activate the checkbox labeled “Show Coming Soon badge”, just below the publication date. Then save the product.

Will work with my theme?

Well, we can’t be 100% sure, but we have coded the plugin following the standard WooCommerce template system, and should work well on every theme.
In any case, we have written it carefully to ensure it doesn’t break the layout if it doesn’t work.

Please, write us on the support forum to tell us about: whether to say if it works well, or not with your theme. It will help us and others, and we will try to make it work for you if it doesn’t.

I’m theme developer. How to be compatible?

Coming Soon for WooCommerce works with the actions found in the standard product loop and single product templates.

The used actions to print the badge code are:

For single product: do_action( ‘woocommerce_after_main_content’ );
For product loop: do_action( ‘woocommerce_shop_loop_item_title’ );

You can find this actions in the templates:

wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/single-product.php (single product template)
wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/content-product.php (print each product on loop)

…if you want to override this files on your WooCommerce child theme, or you’re coding one from scratch,
maybe you have the same file names on your theme folder:

wp-content/themes/your-theme/woocommerce/content-product.php
wp-content/themes/your-theme/woocommerce/single-product.php

in this case, simply check you’ve this actions on your code:

For single product: do_action( ‘woocommerce_after_main_content’ );
For product loop: do_action( ‘woocommerce_shop_loop_item_title’ );

…and Coming Soon for WooCommerce will do the rest 🙂

The badge preview is not exactly the same as the badge on the front end

The plugin can’t guess your theme font-family or product thumbnail size, so maybe you should adjust a bit the text and badge size.
