EasyCoupon Scheduler for WooCommerce

by Hasan Majhali

Description

EasyCoupon Scheduler for WooCommerce enhances your WooCommerce coupon management by adding precise scheduling capabilities with both date and time control. This plugin allows you to set exact start and end times for your coupons, giving you complete control over when your promotional offers are active.

Key Features

Enable/Disable Toggle – Control whether scheduling is active for each coupon with a simple checkbox
Valid From Date & Time – Set the exact date and time when a coupon becomes active
Expires Date & Time – Set the exact date and time when a coupon expires
Time Zone Support – Works with your WordPress timezone settings
User-Friendly Interface – Clean, intuitive fields integrated at the top of the General coupon tab
List View Columns – See valid from and expiry dates directly in the coupons list
24-Hour Time Format – Precise hour and minute control (HH:MM format)
HPOS Compatible – Fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage
No Conflicts – Seamlessly replaces the default WooCommerce expiry date field
Duplicate Coupons – Quickly clone coupons with all settings and schedule data

How It Works

When editing a coupon, you’ll find the Easy Coupon Schedule section at the top of the General tab. Simply check the “Enable Easy Coupon Schedule” checkbox to activate the scheduling fields. Once enabled, you can set:

Valid From Date – The date when the coupon becomes active (YYYY-MM-DD format)
Valid From Time – The exact time when the coupon becomes active (24-hour format)
Expires Date – The date when the coupon expires (YYYY-MM-DD format)
Expires Time – The exact time when the coupon expires (24-hour format)

When the checkbox is unchecked, the schedule fields remain visible but are disabled (grayed out), making it easy to see what scheduling options are available without accidentally editing them.

Use Cases

Flash Sales – Start and end sales at precise times
Time-Limited Promotions – Run promotions for specific hours or days
Holiday Campaigns – Schedule coupons to activate and expire during holiday periods
Early Bird Offers – Set coupons to expire at midnight or specific times
Regional Time Zones – Coordinate promotions across different time zones using your site’s timezone

Stores scheduling data as post meta for each coupon
Uses WordPress timezone settings for accurate time handling
Validates “valid from” dates to prevent premature coupon usage
Works with WooCommerce’s native expiry validation
Displays formatted dates in the coupons list table

Faq

Does this plugin replace WooCommerce’s default expiry date?

Yes, when you enable Easy Coupon Schedule for a coupon, it replaces the default WooCommerce expiry date field and provides more precise control with time settings.

What timezone does the plugin use?

The plugin uses your WordPress timezone setting (Settings > General > Timezone). All dates and times are handled according to this setting.

Can I use this plugin without setting a valid from date?

Yes, the valid from date is optional. If you don’t set it, the coupon will be valid immediately. You can use only the expiry date with time if you prefer.

What happens if I uncheck the Enable checkbox?

When unchecked, the schedule fields become disabled and the scheduling functionality is not applied to that coupon. The fields remain visible but grayed out.

Is this plugin compatible with HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?

Yes, the plugin is fully compatible with WooCommerce’s High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) feature.

Can I see the scheduled dates in the coupons list?

Yes, the plugin adds two columns to the coupons list: “Valid from” and “Expires on”, showing the formatted dates and times for easy reference.

What time format should I use?

Use 24-hour format (HH:MM) for time fields. For example, 14:30 for 2:30 PM or 09:00 for 9:00 AM.

Does this work with existing coupons?

Yes, you can edit any existing coupon and add scheduling to it. The plugin works with both new and existing coupons.

Can I duplicate a coupon with its schedule settings?

Yes! Version 1.6.0 adds a “Duplicate” link in the coupons list. When you duplicate a coupon, all settings including the Easy Coupon Schedule data are copied to the new coupon.
