Real example: Black Friday + Christmas + January Sale, all scheduled at once

Say you sell a t-shirt at 29,99 € and want three sales planned for November and beyond:

Edit the product in WooCommerce find the “Scheduled sale prices” section
Add: 19,99 € from Nov 28 to Dec 1 (Black Friday)
Add: 30% off from Dec 20 to Dec 26 (Christmas)
Add: 12 € off from Jan 5 to Jan 15 (January sale)
Save the product once. Done.
Before anything goes live, the editor tells you what the EU Omnibus rules will see: Christmas at 20,99 € is not lower than the 19,99 € of Black Friday a few weeks before, so it should not be announced as a reduction, and the January sale will be measured against 20,99 €, not 29,99 €.

Every sale can be a fixed price, a percentage off or an amount off, and you see the resulting price before saving. Each sale can start and end at an exact time (hour and minute), so flash sales begin and end right when you plan them, and WordPress cron (configurable down to every 5 minutes) applies each price automatically. Sales for one product live in the product editor you already use.

Black Friday for a whole category, checked before it runs

Go to Marketing > Sales Scheduler > Campaigns
Pick categories or tags, the discount and the dates
Click Preview: every product appears with its campaign price and the prior price the EU Omnibus rules will measure it against
The preview marks the products where the sale would not be a real reduction, and the ones that already have a sale on those dates
Untick what you don’t want and schedule it

Variable products get the sale on each variation. Each campaign shows which products it is on and whether its sale applies on each one, and the WooCommerce product list can be filtered by campaign. Products you publish later can be added to a running campaign, with the same check. Deleting a campaign removes its sale from every product and leaves your other sales alone.

Scheduled Sales, Discounts and Omnibus Price History for WooCommerce extends WooCommerce’s native sale scheduling by letting you queue up unlimited sale prices per product, each with its own dates, times and discount type. It also handles the prior price the EU Omnibus Directive asks you to show: it checks every scheduled sale before it runs, shows the right prior price on your store, and keeps a price history you can export.

Schedule multiple sale prices per product
Campaigns: one sale for every product of the categories or tags you choose, with an Omnibus check of each product before you schedule it
Fixed price, percentage discount or fixed amount off, with a live preview of the final price
Optional minimum and maximum final price, so a percentage discount never goes further than you want
Dynamic pricing: Schedule both discounts and price increases

Omnibus check while you plan: each scheduled sale shows the prior price it will be measured against, counting your other scheduled sales, and warns you when it would not be a real reduction
