YITH Sales Countdown adds urgency timers to WooCommerce products that have a sale price and a sale-to date. The timer rendering is clean, the trade-off is that the admin gives no aggregate view of which products are currently on sale, how deep the discount is across the catalog, or how the sale window translated into actual orders.

SleekView Charts reads _sale_price, _sale_price_dates_from, and _sale_price_dates_to from wp_postmeta and joins to wc_orders so sale coverage and downstream order volume sit in one dataset. Each product on sale becomes a chartable row, and the dashboard answers the recurring promotion questions: how many SKUs are on sale right now, which categories carry the deepest discounts, how the sale window is moving units.

The plugin still renders the countdown on the product page. SleekView surfaces the aggregate so the promotions team can see the sale's shape before the timer expires.

Countdown timers work because they make scarcity feel real to the shopper. They don't, by themselves, make the sale feel real to the operator running it. Without an aggregate view, the team running the promo squints at category pages, opens individual product editors, and counts to estimate coverage.

SleekView Charts removes the squinting by reading the same sale meta the timer reads and surfacing four cards that answer the recurring questions. Coverage is a number. Category mix is a donut.

Discount depth is a bar. Sale-window orders is an area. Promo retros stop being narrative reconstructions and start being chart reads from the dashboard the team watched while the timer was running.
