See every featureCountdown321 helps merchants create urgency across product pages and storefront campaigns with product timers, landing timers, and top/bottom bars. Merchants can run fixed-date, recurring, or evergreen countdowns, customize design and placement, and publish quickly without manual theme edits.
Add a countdown to your Online Store without editing theme code. Create a timer, write the promotion, and show it as a top bar, bottom bar, or product-page block. Bars can stay visible while shoppers scroll. Timers can end on a chosen date or restart for each shopper. When time runs out, hide the timer or show a finished message. A setup guide opens the theme editor to enable the bar embed and product block.
