About This Solution

This guide shows you how to add the next “NEW” on products which have been added to your WooCommerce store in the last 10 days. Of course you can output whatever text you like and change the number of days to meet your requirements. This guide will display the new badge adjacent to the SALE badge if the product were to have a sale price applied.
