Dispatch Countdown for WooCommerce

Dispatch Countdown for WooCommerce adds a polished same-day dispatch countdown banner to WooCommerce product pages. It helps store owners create urgency, explain order cut-off times clearly, and show customers exactly when they need to order for dispatch eligibility.

The plugin includes global countdown controls, product-level visibility options, weekly dispatch schedules, overnight time range support, editable frontend text, selectable timer formats, and design settings for colors. Store owners can show the countdown on all products, only selected products, or exclude selected products from the global countdown rule.

Same Day Dispatch Countdown

Countdown banner for product pages – display a clean dispatch countdown above WooCommerce product details.
Same-day dispatch message – show customers how much time remains before the dispatch cut-off.
Automatic time calculation – the countdown updates based on the active schedule and store timezone.
Multiple timer formats – use compact time, verbose time, or verbose time with seconds.
Mobile responsive layout – the banner adapts cleanly on desktop, tablet, and mobile screens.
