Drop Prices for WooCommerce is an excellent marketing tool that creates urgency by automatically changing (lowering or raising) a product’s price by a specified amount at set time intervals. Finale Sales Countdown Discount Timer for WooCommerce alternative.

With this WPGenie plugin, you can turn any sale into a live, Dutch-auction-style event, where the price starts high and drops until a buyer accepts it. You can also use it as a promotional tactic to reward early buyers with lower prices: the earlier they buy, the less they pay.

Drop price over time (Dutch auction)

With this option, the product price automatically drops over time, turning online shopping into a live event. Customers feel a sense of urgency because they need to decide when the price is low enough to buy. If they wait too long, however, someone else may buy the product first. The first shopper to click “Buy Now” wins, so waiting too long could mean missing out on the deal.

This is ideal for flash sales, clearance events, and limited-time promotions where you want to encourage shoppers to keep an eye on the sale and buy the product at the right moment.

Raise price over time

With this option, the product price automatically raises over time, encouraging hesitant customers to decide quickly whether to buy before the price increases.
This is ideal for promotions such as pre-orders, product launches, and early-bird offers, where sellers want to create a “the longer you wait, the more you pay” incentive and reward customers who buy early.
