WDA Automated Store

Description

WDA Automated Store is a time-saving solution for WooCommerce store administrators. This plugin automates the process of changing product visibility when stock status changes. For example, when a product goes out of stock, you can configure the plugin to automatically hide the product or set it to “Search Only” after a specified delay (e.g., 72 hours). You can also choose the exact time of day to trigger the visibility change.

Additionally, when a product is restocked, the plugin will automatically restore the product’s visibility status to “Catalog & Search.” This plugin reduces the need for manual intervention, streamlining store management.

Future updates will include more automated actions for WooCommerce.

Features

  • Automated Visibility Changes: Automatically updates product visibility based on stock status changes.
  • Custom Visibility Options: Choose the visibility status for out-of-stock products (e.g., Hidden, Search Only).
  • Configurable Delay: Set a delay (in hours) after a product goes out of stock before the visibility change is triggered.
  • Scheduled Actions: Specify the exact time of day when the visibility change should occur.
  • Automatic Restore: Automatically restores visibility to “Catalog & Search” when a product is back in stock.

Usage

The plugin provides an easy-to-use interface with clearly labeled settings. Admins can configure:
– The desired visibility status when a product goes out of stock.
– How long to wait before changing the product’s visibility status.
– The time of day when this change should occur.

When a product is restocked, its visibility will automatically be restored to “Catalog & Search.”
