Availability communication system

PRODUCT SNAPSHOT

Richer stock messaging that still feels native to WooCommerce.

Position this as the operational availability layer for stores with real fulfillment nuance.

For complex catalogs

Built for made-to-order, supplier-routed, seasonal, delayed, transfer, and variation-specific availability conditions.

Replaces vague stock labels

Reduces ad hoc product notes, theme edits, support questions, and generic in-stock/out-of-stock language.

Connects admin definitions, product data, and storefront display

Uses native stock fields while adding labels, details, colors, ship windows, and import/export workflows.

Delivers better expectations

Customers see what availability actually means before buying, reducing uncertainty and support follow-up.
FROM FRICTION TO FLOW

Show how the plug-in changes day-to-day work.

The before/after framing makes the value obvious before visitors read feature details.
CURRENT WORKFLOW

Before richer availability

-> Every product collapses into basic in-stock or out-of-stock language.
-> Lead times are scattered in descriptions or staff notes.
-> Variations with different timelines confuse shoppers.
-> Bulk status setup is hard to move between sites or catalogs.
CONNECTED WORKFLOW

After richer availability

-> Statuses carry labels, details, colors, and ship-window metadata.
-> Product pages can show clearer badges and lead-time messaging.
-> Variation selection can update exact availability details.
-> CSV and JSON workflows support catalog-scale operations.
FEATURE MODULES

Six capabilities for precise WooCommerce availability communication.

The product and local docs are unusually detailed, so this page can be very specific about admin definitions, display, and import/export.

Admin-managed definitions

Create status keys, labels, details, lead-time text, min/max ship days, colors, sort order, and optional behavior controls.

Native status extension

Custom statuses appear inside WooCommerce product and variation stock workflows instead of a parallel inventory model.

Product-page badges

Display color-coded status badges with supporting details and fulfillment timing near the buying decision.

Variation-aware messaging

Selected size, color, finish, or configuration can show its own status, lead time, and fulfillment context.

Operational list visibility

Product-list columns and filters help merchandisers audit availability states quickly.

CSV and JSON portability

Supports product-level CSV import/export plus JSON import/export for reusable status definition sets.
WORKFLOW

Explain the product as a sequence from setup to outcome.

The workflow section helps buyers understand how the plug-in fits into real operations.
01

Define

Create reusable stock statuses with labels, details, colors, lead times, and ship-day ranges.
02

Assign

Apply statuses to products and variations through familiar WooCommerce stock controls.
03

Display

Show badges, details, lead-time text, and variation-specific updates on the storefront.
04

Scale

Use CSV for catalog maintenance and JSON to move status definitions across environments.
VISUAL DIRECTION

Use real product visuals, then add compact callouts.

Keep screenshots specific to the product and use the shared compact card system for consistency.

Status definition editor

Show fields for key, label, details, color, lead time, ship days, and purchasability cue.

Product page badge

Show a built-to-order or ships-from-vendor badge with explanatory lead-time copy.

Bulk operations

Show product list filtering plus CSV and JSON import/export actions.
ECOSYSTEM

Platforms and systems this plug-in touches.

Use official marks where licensing allows; otherwise keep these as Material-style text/logo slots.
OUTCOMES

Close with the operational change the buyer should expect.

These outcomes should stay practical and tied to the operational friction the plug-in removes.

Set clearer expectations

Customers understand whether a product is immediate, delayed, built to order, or vendor-routed.

Reduce support load

Better product-page availability answers common shipping-timing questions before checkout.

Improve catalog operations

Teams can define, assign, audit, and move status rules more consistently.
