LaunchOverlay – Coming Soon Banner for Products
·
Add "Coming Soon", "Pre-Order", and launch banner overlays to WooCommerce product images. Control purchase availability per product.

- Accessible markup (aria-label on overlay)
- Lightweight — no jQuery dependency, pure CSS rendering
How It Works
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Go to WooCommerce → LaunchOverlay to set global colour and style defaults.
- Edit any product and click the LaunchOverlay tab in the Product Data panel.
- Enable the overlay, choose a banner text, and optionally disable Add to Cart.
- Save the product — the banner appears on your store immediately.
Compatibility
Works with both classic and block themes. The overlay is injected via the woocommerce_product_get_image filter so no theme template modifications are required.
