How it sells itself

Easily add countdown Banner to your Shopify store. Display timers at the top of your site or on individual product pages to create urgency around sales, launches, or limited-time offers. Customize the timer style and placement to match your store’s look and feel. No coding required.

Eternal Banners adds sale banners to your theme that don't look like every other store. Pick a shape for the banner's edge, add your photo or video, and set a countdown for your promotion. When the timer ends, the banner can hide, show a message or play an effect. Everything is set up in the theme editor, adapts to mobile and loads only what each banner uses.

  • Customize colors, size, and font

  • No coding or theme editing needed
  • Wave, slant, arc, curve and zigzag shapes, set up in the theme editor
  • Countdown timer that can hide, show a message or celebrate when it ends
  • Confetti, sparkles and more effects that respect reduced motion
