Setting UP Product Scheduler

The module enables you to pre-launch products with a custom label text such as “Coming Soon/Launching Soon”. This label appears on various pages of your store such as cross-sell products, up sell products, category pages, etc. The style of the label is completely customizable from the backend. We have provided several individual styling options in the configuration that allows you to style aspects such as font size, font color, label background color, etc.

You can add an start and End date to your products based on which a label or a timer or both can be displayed on products and category pages. The time on the timer or the duration in which the label is displayed is calculated from the start date in the product scheduler settings by going into Admin>catalog>Products.

The Product can be enabled and disabled based on start/end date. Upon completion of end date the product gets automatically disabled. It is disabled using the cron job configured as shown above, when the cron runs and the end date is reached the product will be disabled. The product is enabled on the day when the start date and time is set.

Let us look at how to set up start and end date for products.

• Start and End Date Setup at Product Level - You can schedule product for launching by selecting ''Start Date'' and ''End Date'' from Catalog > Products > Select Product > Start Date / End Date.

• Enable Product on Scheduled Date- The product gets enabled based on the Start date added in the product settings. If the start date is set 2 days in the future then the product will be enabled/launched exactly after completion of 2days.

• Display Prelaunch Text and/or Countdown Timer (such as Launching Soon)- The prelaunch text/Countdown timer gets displayed based on the Start date added in product settings. The time till which these are displayed are calculated based on the current date/time and the start date/time so Its current date and time minus the start date and time. It won't be displayed only when start date has already gone by, if its set in the future then it will always be displayed.

• Disable Product on Scheduled Date- The product get's disabled on the completion of the end date. If no end date is set and this field is left empty then the product will be enabled unless disabled manually from the product settings.

• When Start and End Date is Same- Only the Prelaunch text/ Countdown timer will be displayed given that the start date has already gone by i.e its in history. As the start date and end date is same product will be automatically disabled on this day.

Front-end Site View

• "Launching Soon" Text for the New Product on the Product Page – You can show "LAUNCHING SOON" on the category page for the new product from Admin > Stores > Configuration > Scommerce Configuration > Product Scheduler > Timer /Label Settings > Show Timer/Label Before Launch Date - "Yes".
