Your best products are buried below the fold
Most stores hide their sale items and best sellers on a page nobody scrolls to. A product ticker keeps them moving across the screen, where every visitor sees them, on any page you choose. It is the storefront version of a stock ticker: always visible, always current.
Everything you need to run a ticker, free
- Pull products from on sale, featured, latest, best selling, top rated, a specific category, or a hand-picked list of product IDs.
- Automatic sale badges with the discount percentage worked out from the WooCommerce price.
- Two layouts: Classic (image, name, and price in a row) and Portrait (image on top).
- Full control of speed, direction, and pause-on-hover.
- An optional promo flag on the left of the strip (“On sale”, “New in”, or your own text), and an optional out-of-stock label.
- Design controls for color, typography, and image size on every element, so it matches your theme.
- Save a ticker once and place it anywhere by ID, with the block or the `[wpmozo_product_ticker]` shortcode.
- Light on your site: assets load only on pages that run a ticker, output is cached, and it respects reduced-motion.
Make every number live, with Pro
The free ticker looks great. Pro connects it to your store, so the numbers move because your store moves. Annual $29, Lifetime $199.
- Live stock: “Only 3 left” that updates as items sell.
- Sold today: “12 sold today”, counted from real orders since midnight.
- Sale countdown: a timer ticking to the exact end of a scheduled sale.
- Price drop: “Price drop by $40” the moment a scheduled sale begins.
- Two more layouts: Cards and Compact.
- Per-chip design: place each chip (above the title, after the title, after the price, or on its own line), size it, color it, and add an icon or a tooltip.
Real urgency, not fake motion
Every live number on a Pro ticker maps to a real store event: an order placed, stock changing, a sale ending. No invented price ticks, and no fake “someone just bought” popups. Shoppers can tell the difference. Pro is an add-on to the free plugin and turns nothing off, so existing tickers look identical until you switch a chip on.
Four layouts, one ticker
- Classic (free): image, name, and price in a row.
- Portrait (free): image on top, for sidebars and narrow columns.
- Cards (Pro): a card per product, with room for the live chips.
- Compact (Pro): a thin, dense strip for a header or an announcement bar.
