Set Time Limited BOGO (Buy One Get One) Offers After Registration in WooCommerce

The code helps to check if the user is eligible for the BOGO offer based on their registration time. It calculates the ending time for the offer by adding a specified time limit (3 hours in this case) to the user’s registration time. If the current time is within this time limit, the user is considered eligible to avail the free product. Also, a notice message is displayed on the shop page for communicating such time-limited offers.

// Function to get the registration time for a user
function ts_get_user_registration_time($user_id) {
    return get_user_meta($user_id, 'registration_time', true);
}

// Function to check if the user is eligible for the BOGO offer
function ts_is_bogo_offer_time_for_user($user_id) {
    $registration_time = ts_get_user_registration_time($user_id);

    if (!$registration_time) {
        return false; // Return false if registration time is not available
    }

    // Define the time limit (3 hours in this case)
    $time_limit = 3 * 60 * 60;

    // Calculate the ending time based on registration time and time limit
    $ending_time = $registration_time + $time_limit;

    // Check if the current time is within the specified time limit from the registration time
    return (current_time('timestamp') <= $ending_time);
}

        // Check if the notice has already been displayed
        if (!get_user_meta($user_id, 'bogo_notice_displayed', true)) {
            // Calculate remaining time
            $remaining_time = ts_get_user_registration_time($user_id) + (3 * 60 * 60) - current_time('timestamp');

            if ($remaining_time > 0) {
                $remaining_hours = floor($remaining_time / 3600);
                $remaining_minutes = floor(($remaining_time % 3600) / 60);

                $message = sprintf('Hurry! BOGO offer ends in %d hours and %d minutes!', $remaining_hours, $remaining_minutes);

                wc_add_notice($message, 'notice');

                // Set a flag indicating that the notice has been displayed
                update_user_meta($user_id, 'bogo_notice_displayed', true);
            }

Whenever new registrants visit the shop page, they will be notified that the offer is available for a limited time.

And, if the newly registered user tries to add a product to the cart, the free product will also get added to the cart automatically. If the offer limit has been exceeded the free product will not be added.

You can expand the above customization to also add a free product based on time and date range in WooCommerce. With time and date-range based offers, you can easily set up special offers for holidays, weekends, or other key dates to boost seasonal sales.
