A coming soon page can be essential if you want to promote your products or offers before officially publishing them on your website. Encouraging them in advance is always better, whether it’s a new page, a category for similar items, or a specific product. It can bring a sense of curiosity in your customers and entices them to keep checking your website until you finally publish the official result.
Therefore, what you can do is create a particular page soon for these products or offers. New unpublished items can even be mentioned on the home or shop page, just like featured products. So now, all you have to do is create an upcoming WooCommerce page and link to them.

This is the best way to create a WooCommerce coming soon page is by using a wordpress plugin. Plugins in WooCommerce and WordPress can help increase the functionality of your website. Similarly, several plugins can also help you add a coming soon page to your WooCommerce shop.

But now, it’s a full-featured website builder for creating a WooCommerce coming soon page, a custom theme, a maintenance page, and more. In addition, the plugin provides its drag-and-drop generator and a bunch of features to help you build the next page you want.
