Give shoppers a reason to check out now

Carts don't convert because there is no cost to waiting. A countdown tied to a real deadline — sale end, shipping cutoff, reservation window — changes the math.

How it looks

A deadline shoppers can see

The timer sits in the announcement bar or cart drawer, counting down to your campaign's end. When it hits zero the campaign — and the timer — end together.

Frequently asked questions

Is the countdown real or a fake evergreen timer?

Real. It reads the end date from your campaign schedule. When it reaches zero, the promotion actually ends.

Can I show different timers in different countries?

Yes. Campaigns target Shopify Markets, so each market can have its own promotion and deadline.

Where can the timer appear?

In the sitewide announcement bar, inside the cart drawer, or both at once.
