What it does

Flash Sales, in practice.

Stores a start and end window per product and hooks the core on-sale check, so the schedule decides whether the sale price is honored at checkout — not just whether a banner shows. Countdowns render on product pages and shop-grid cards, plus a shortcode for landing pages. Times are entered in your site’s timezone.

Works with

Setup

From toggle to live in a few minutes.

  1. Enable it

    Ambikly → Add-ons → Flash Sales → toggle on. Pro must be active; nothing else to install.

  2. Set it up

    Open its settings panel and set: label prefix; show timer on product cards; show timer on product pages; urgency styling under N minutes.

  3. Find it in use

    The storefront surfaces, admin screens and settings it adds are listed under “Where it shows up” above; nothing needs placing by hand unless a shortcode is named there.

  4. Turn it off without losing anything

    Disable the add-on from the same screen. Its settings and data stay in place, and a lapsed license pauses it the same way — the store keeps running.

FAQ

About Flash Sales.

Does the sale price actually stop when the timer runs out?

Yes. Outside the window the sale price is not honored at checkout — the timer and the charged price can’t disagree.

Can I schedule a sale on a variable product?

No — each variation prices independently, so the parent-level schedule is rejected on save.

Do I need a cron job?

No. The countdown runs in the browser and the window check happens live on each price evaluation.
