Instead of showing generic popups immediately, this plugin tracks how long a user spends looking at a specific product. If they stay on the page for your configured“ Trigger Time” without buying, it automatically presents a targeted, time-limited discount offer to push them towards a purchase. Major features include: * **Behavioral Triggers**: Show offers only to engaged users after a specific time. * **Two-Tier Offers**: Automatically present a secondary( better) offer if the user closes the first one. * **Countdown Timers**: Create real urgency with visual countdown timers on the product and checkout pages. * **Detailed Analytics**: Built-in dashboard to track Impressions, Claims, Purchases, and Revenue generated by your campaigns. * **Flexible Targeting**: Apply rules to specific products, categories, or globally. * **Advanced Scheduling**: Date ranges, days of week, and time windows. * **Popup Customization**: Colors, fonts, logo, and live preview in Settings. * **Server-Side Licensing**: Free trial (email) or Pro license key with remote verification. * **HPOS Compatible**: Fully compatible with WooCommerce High- Performance Order Storage. ### Licensing This plugin requires an active free trial or Pro license to run. * **Free Trial**: Register on our website, then enter the same email in Settings Free Trial. * **Pro License**: Purchase on our website, then enter your license key in Settings Pro Plan License. * **Trial expired**: Product Rules are locked and storefront popups stop until you upgrade to Pro. ### Payment Methods Payments are processed on our website via Paddle (not inside WordPress): * Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, Credit/Debit Card * Free Trial: $0 — start from Pricing Start Free Trial * Pro Plan: one-time payment in USD or INR * License key available in My Account after Pro purchase ### External services This plugin is a client for the Time-Based Offers service at https://woosmartdiscounts. store.

Yes, the plugin uses AJAX to deliver the popup and timer, making it compatible with caching plugins like WP Rocket and LiteSpeed Cache. ### What happens when my free trial expires? Product Rules cannot be edited, rules show as paused on the shop, and discount popups stop appearing. Activate a Pro license to continue. ### Do I need both trial email and license key? No. Use one or the other. A valid Pro license works even after trial expiry. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors and Developers “Time-Based Offers for WooCommerce” is open source software.
