LaunchOverlay – Coming Soon Banner for Products

LaunchOverlay lets you add eye-catching banners to your WooCommerce product images so customers know a product is Coming Soon, Pre-Order, or Launching Soon — before it goes live.

Features

• 5 preset banner texts: Coming Soon, Pre-Order, Launching Soon, Sold Out, Available Soon
• 6 colour themes: Dark, Light, Blue, Green, Amber, Red
• Adjustable colours with a visual colour picker
• Banner style or Badge/Pill style
• 7 placement options: Top Left, Top Centre, Top Right, Centre, Bottom Left, Bottom Centre, Bottom Right
• Per-product enable/disable
• Per-product banner text selection
• Hide price display per product
• Disable Add to Cart with configurable replacement message
• Works on shop pages, category pages, and single product pages
• Live preview in the settings page
• WooCommerce HPOS (custom order tables) compatible
• Accessible markup (aria-label on overlay)
• Lightweight — no jQuery dependency, pure CSS rendering

How It Works

1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Go to WooCommerce → LaunchOverlay to set global colour and style defaults.
3. Edit any product and click the LaunchOverlay tab in the Product Data panel.
4. Enable the overlay, choose a banner text, and optionally disable Add to Cart.
5. 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.
