Coming Soon Badge 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 don’t does it for now, there is two ways on 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.

I’m theme developer. How to be compatible?

Comming 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 equal as badge on 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.
