Countdown Timers show a live "sale ends in" timer on your product pages. They create urgency and encourage shoppers to buy before a promotion ends, with a message like "Sale ends in 2h 15m". You control the wording, the look, which products show the timer, and when it appears.
How it works
- Set up your timer — Write the messages, choose colours and fonts, and pick where on the product page it appears.
- Choose your products — Target products by filter, by collection, or by selecting them manually.
- Set the schedule — Run it once with a start and end time, or set it to repeat on a pattern (for example, every Monday from 9am to 5pm).
- Activate — The timer appears on your storefront for the products you chose.
- Monitor — See which timers are active or scheduled.
- Deactivate — When the timer ends or you switch it off, it stops showing on your storefront.
What you can customise
- Primary and secondary messages — for example "Sale ends in" and "Don't miss out!".
- An optional call-to-action button with your own label and link.
- Display position — choose where on the product page the timer sits, such as above the title or below the price.
- Colours and fonts — match the timer to your store's branding.
Scheduling options
- One-time: Set a start and end time, and the timer counts down to the end.
- Recurring: Set a repeating pattern, such as certain days each week or a specific day each month, with a time window for each occurrence.
FAQ
Which products will show the timer? Only the products you target, whether you pick them by filter, by collection, or by hand.
What happens when the timer reaches zero? The timer hides itself automatically once it expires, so shoppers won't see a finished countdown.
Can I run the same timer on a repeating schedule? Yes. You can set a recurring pattern so the timer runs automatically during the same window each week or month.
Can I preview how the timer will look? Yes. The setup screen includes a live preview so you can see the timer before it goes live.
Can I turn a timer off early? Yes. You can deactivate any timer at any time, and it will stop showing on your storefront.
