The sale landing page plays an important role in the Sitewide Sale process:
- The landing page shows conditional content based on the sale period. You can show unique content when the sale is running, but also when the sale is coming soon (pre-sale) or already over (post-sale).
- A user’s landing page visit triggers how to handle the auto-discount logic for their checkout and strikethrough pricing throughout the store.
- The plugin tracks visits to the landing page in sale reports to help you evaluate sale performance and conversions.
Landing pages are totally optional. If you instead want to link your sale banner right to a product category or existing pricing page, that’s totally ok.

About Dynamic Landing Page Content
The Sitewide Sales plugin handles three time periods for conditional landing page content:
- Before the Sale
- During the Sale
- After the Sale
These time periods are drawn from the start/end date and time of (a) the Sitewide Sale linked to the specific landing page or (b) the active Sitewide Sale running on the site if the page is not attached to a specific sale.

How To Add Content to Your Sale Landing Page
Sitewide Sales supports a few methods to add content to your sale’s landing page.
Sale Content Block
Sets the sale period (before, during, after) for every block within the container block. Nested blocks are automatically hidden or shown based on the parent block’s setting and the current date and time. This block is available for sites that use the WordPress Block Editor.
Countdown Timer Block
Show a countdown timer that counts down to the sale start date and time or the sale end date and time based on block settings. You can also configure the text color and background color of the timer. This block is available for sites that use the WordPress Block Editor.
Sale Period Visibility Setting
A block-level setting to toggle section visibility based on sale period (before, during, after). This setting is automatically added to three core WordPress block types: Group, Columns, and Cover. This block is available for sites that use the WordPress Block Editor.
