You can create multiple rules, set the trial duration in days, and control how many products a customer can try per month. Admins can apply restrictions based on user roles, countries, and shipping zones, having full control over who can access trials and where they are available. This feature helps you attract serious buyers, reduce uncertainty, and provide a satisfied shopping experience.
Allow Users to Either Keep or Return the Product
The WooCommerce Try Before You Buy plugin provides customers the flexibility to decide whether they want to return trial products or keep them and complete the purchase. Customers can try the product during the defined trial period. If they choose to keep the item, the order can be easily converted into a full purchase without any extra steps. If the item didn’t meet their requiremnts they can upload a return file or add a comment explaining the reason. This process reduces purchase hesitation and increases the overall conversions while keeping the returns under control.
Set Trial and Purchase Limits for Customers
Admins can set the trial period for any desired number of days and decide how long customers can try products before making a purchase. Moreover, you can set a monthly product quantity limit to restrict the number of products a customer can try in a month. Similarly, you can also define the purchase limit for each user to control and manage all trial orders effectively.
Charge an Extra Fee for Trial products
Merchants can charge an additional fee for WooCommerce Try Before Buy feature. This keeps your profit margin aligned and maintains the overall pricing strategy. You can also select a specific order status to trigger the trial period according to that.
Set Advanced Condition for Trial Period
Set a condition to control the trial period when the cart contains multiple trial products. You can choose to trigger either the maximum or minimum trial duration.
For example:
If Product A has a 05-day trial and Product B has a 07-day trial, then on:
- Maximum selection: the trial period will be 7 days for both items
- Minimum selection: the trial period will be 5 days for both items
View Detailed Trial Dashboard and Logs

- Customer name
- Product name
- Trial Status
- Start Date
- Expiry Date
Set trials for Specific Products, Categories, and Brands
This allows you to apply trial rules on specific products, categories, and brands. In this way, you can use trials to promote high-value products or new arrivals and create a targeted approach that drives customer engagement and boosts sales.
Restrict Trial Products by User Roles, Shipping Zones, and Countries
By using the extension, you can restrict trial products to specific user roles, shipping zones, and countries. For example, you can offer trials only to B2B or VIP members, limit products in certain regions, or make them available in selected countries, and create a strategy that keeps the entire process organized and under control.

Shop managers can customize try before you buy button text, color, icon, and template according to their store’s existing theme. You can also select its appearance as an in-page button or a pop-up. Simply add custom headings and instructions to guide customers clearly through the trial process.
