## Description

Time-Based Offers for WooCommerce helps you boost conversion rates using behavioral
triggers and FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out).

Instead of showing generic popups immediately, this plugin tracks how long a visitor
spends looking at a product. After your configured trigger time, it presents a targeted,
time-limited discount offer.

Major features include:

 * **Behavioral Triggers** — Show offers only to engaged visitors after a specific
   time.
 * **Countdown Timers** — Create urgency with visual countdown timers on product
   and checkout pages.
 * **Analytics Dashboard** — Track impressions, claims, purchases, and revenue.
 * **Flexible Targeting** — Apply rules to specific products, categories, or globally.
 * **Popup Customization** — Colors, fonts, logo, and live preview in Settings.
 * **HPOS Compatible** — Works with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage.

Optional Pro upgrades are sold separately on our website. The free plugin on WordPress.
org is fully usable without a license key and without contacting our servers.

### External services

This Free WordPress.org package does **not** phone home and does **not** call external
APIs with `wp_remote_post()` / `wp_remote_get()` for license checks, discount logic,
analytics, or updates.

All discount rules, popups, timers, and analytics run locally on your WordPress /
WooCommerce site.

### Optional website links (user-initiated only)

The admin UI may show optional “Upgrade to Pro” / website links. These open in the
browser only when a site admin clicks them. No site data is sent automatically by
the plugin when those links are shown.

 * **Service / website:** Time-Based Offers (Sparkle Infotech)
 * **Website:** https://woosmartdiscounts.store/
 * **What happens on click:** The admin is taken to our website to learn about or
   purchase the separate Pro package.
 * **Data sent by the plugin automatically:** None.
 * **Privacy Policy:** https://woosmartdiscounts.store/privacy-policy.php
 * **Terms of Service:** https://woosmartdiscounts.store/terms-of-service.php

If you later install a separate Pro package from our website (not from WordPress.
org), that Pro package may use our licensing service. That Pro package will document
its own remote calls, data, and policies. The WordPress.org Free package itself 
does not perform those calls.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install via
    Plugins  Add New.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
 3. Ensure WooCommerce is installed and active.
 4. Go to **Time-Based Offers  Product Rules** to create your first discount campaign.
 5. Optionally customize the popup under **Time-Based Offers  Settings**.

## FAQ

### Does it work with caching plugins?

Yes. The plugin uses AJAX to deliver the popup and timer, so it works with common
caching plugins.

### Do I need a license key?

No. The free version works without a license. A license is only needed if you purchase
the separate Pro package from our website.

### Does this plugin send my data to an external server?

No. The WordPress.org Free package does not send domain, license, product, or rule
data to external servers. Discount features run locally. Optional Pro website links
open only when you click them.

### Where are the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service?

 * Privacy Policy: https://woosmartdiscounts.store/privacy-policy.php
 * Terms of Service: https://woosmartdiscounts.store/terms-of-service.php

### Does it work with all WooCommerce themes?

Yes. It is designed to work with standard WooCommerce themes and templates.
