    How It Works<\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    1. Install and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
    2. Go to WooCommerce \u2192 LaunchOverlay<\/strong> to set global colour and style defaults.<\/li>\n
    3. Edit any product and click the LaunchOverlay<\/strong> tab in the Product Data panel.<\/li>\n
    4. Enable the overlay, choose a banner text, and optionally disable Add to Cart.<\/li>\n
    5. Save the product \u2014 the banner appears on your store immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      Compatibility<\/h4>\n\n

      Works with both classic and block themes. The overlay is injected via the woocommerce_product_get_image<\/code> filter so no theme template modifications are required.<\/p>\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Upload the launchoverlay<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin via the Plugins<\/strong> screen.<\/li>\n
      3. Go to WooCommerce \u2192 LaunchOverlay<\/strong> to configure global defaults.<\/li>\n
      4. Edit any product and use the LaunchOverlay<\/strong> tab to enable per-product banners.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n

        Does this work with block themes?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. The overlay is injected via the woocommerce_product_get_image<\/code> filter which works with both classic and block themes.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Will it slow down my store?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. The plugin enqueues a single CSS file (~3 KB) and a small vanilla JS file only on WooCommerce pages. There are no external requests and no jQuery dependency.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I set a different banner text per product?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Every product has its own LaunchOverlay panel where you can choose from the five preset banner labels, disable Add to Cart, hide the price, and set a replacement message.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does it work with WooCommerce HPOS?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. LaunchOverlay declares full compatibility with WooCommerce High Performance Order Storage (custom order tables).<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I disable the Add to Cart button without removing the product from my shop?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Enable the overlay, tick \"Disable Add to Cart\", optionally add a replacement message, and save. The product remains visible but cannot be purchased.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
