Scheduled Sales & Automatic Discounts for WooCommerce – Smart Cycle Discounts
Video Tutorial
Smart Cycle Discounts is a WooCommerce discount plugin and dynamic pricing engine for stores that need scheduled sales, automated campaigns, and less manual work.
Instead of editing sale prices product by product, create one campaign, set the rules once, choose your dates, and let the plugin run it automatically.
Build a promotion now, schedule it for next week, and let it launch on time without midnight edits.
Why Stores Switch
Most WooCommerce promotion setups break down for the same reasons: – manual price edits take too long – campaigns go live late or end late – overlapping discounts create conflicts – teams lack a repeatable process
Smart Cycle Discounts fixes this with campaign-first workflows, built-in checks, and scheduling automation so your team can launch faster with fewer errors.
5-Step Campaign Wizard
Launch promotions through a clear wizard:
-
Basic Info Set campaign name, details, and priority.
-
Products Choose product scope with flexible targeting.
-
Discounts Select discount type and configure rules.
-
Schedule Set exact start/end date and time.
-
Review Validate health, resolve recommendations, and launch.
This flow helps first-time users launch fast and gives experienced stores the controls needed for complex campaigns.
