Go to **WooCommerce PromoTimer** to customize emoji, colors, and texts. 5. Edit a product: 6. * **Simple products**: Product data General Pricing set Promo Start/End Date and Time * **Variable products**: Variations tab set the same fields per variation ## FAQ ### Does it require WooCommerce? Yes. The plugin hooks into WooCommerce product/variation edit screens and the single product template. ### Will it work with variable products? Yes. Each variation has its **own** start/end date and time. The frontend countdown and messages update when a variation is selected. ### Does it change my theme templates? No template overrides. It uses standard WooCommerce hooks only. ### Can I customize the texts and emoji? Yes. Go to **WooCommerce PromoTimer**. You can customize the emoji, main color, and 3 text messages (before promo, during promo, under price). Placeholders `{date}` and `{time}` are supported. ### Is it translatable? Yes. Fully internationalized with a `.pot` file included in `/languages`. Use Loco Translate or Poedit. ### What happens when the promotion ends? A WP-Cron task runs hourly to clean expired promotions: removes promo meta fields, resets the WooCommerce sale price, and clears cache. The countdown also disappears automatically on the frontend. ### Is there a PRO version? Yes! **PromoTimer PRO** adds bulk promotions by category, a campaigns manager, and an admin product list column.
