This little WooCommerce plugin shows last purchased date on single product page. It shows last purchase date made by anyone, not just current user. If current product has no sales yet, popup will not appear.

Why would I show this to my customers?

From my experience, showing last purchased date can increase conversion rate. This trick is using by Allegro (http://www.allegro.pl), biggest auction and sales website in Poland.

Basic usage

Just install plugin and you are ready to go.

Using just date in your theme (and hide popup if needed)

So you want to get last purchased date somewhere in your theme files? No problem.

First way: using WooCommerce hooks

In you function.php file paste below code.

function show_last_purchased_date(){

    if ( WLP()->last_purchased_date() ){
        echo '<div class="last-purchased-date">' . WLP()->last_purchased_text()
                . ': ' . WLP()->last_purchased_date() . '</div>';
    }

}
add_action('woocommerce_product_meta_end', 'show_last_purchased_date');

For more information about WooCommerce hooks, please visit WooCommerce documentation.

Second way: override WooCommerce template

You can achieve exact same result by overriding WooCommerce templates.

You will need to override one of WooCommerce templates. In this case we will put this information right after Add to cart button and SKU.

For more information about this, please visit WooCommerce documentation.

1. Go to your woocommerce plugin directory.
2. Go to templates directory.
3. Go to single-product.
4. Copy meta.php file to 'your_theme_directory/woocommerce/single-product/'.
5. If you don't have such directory, create it.
6. Now add below code just before <?php do_action( 'woocommerce_product_meta_end' ); ?>

<?php if ( WLP()->last_purchased_date() ): ?>

    <div class="last-purchased-date">
        <?php echo WLP()->last_purchased_text(); ?>:
        <?php echo WLP()->last_purchased_date(); ?>
    </div>

<?php endif; ?>

Don't show popup

In your functions.php:

function hide_wlp_popup(){

    WLP()->hide_popup = true;

}
add_action('before_wlp_init', 'hide_wlp_popup');

Styling

You can override popup styles. Just place your rules in your theme style.css file. Couple examples below.

Display popup in bottom left corner instead of bottom right

.wlp-popup{

    left: 15px;
    right: auto;
    margin-right: 15px;

}

Change background and text color

.wlp-popup{

    background: rgba(98,233,219,0.9);
    color:#0b413b;

}

Remove rounded corners, non-transparent background, no X button

.wlp-popup{

    background: #76234c;
    border-radius: 0;

}

.wlp-popup-close{

    display:none;

}
