Start-to-finish counter

With a custom counter you can create an impression of scarcity: item stock is going down right in front of customers’ eyes and the number of clients viewing the item is increasing. Just set the starting and finishing numbers to set it working and the timer is ready to go.

Two scenarios after timer is over

There are two variants of action after the timer is finished. You can choose the timer to disappear from the page, or it can be replaced by a message that you will come up with.

Flexible timer duration

Your countdown timer plugin can be set for any duration of time, with the help of different time units. They include days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Thus you can, for example, turn а year into 365 days, or 2 days in 48 hours. You can show all units or hide those you don’t use in your timer.

Call-to-action to stimulate purchasing

Create a call-to-action, which will build up urgency, make your visitors excited and push them to shop on your website right now. For this use a message above the WordPress Countdown plugin, simply create and type the text and it will show on the page.

Button for faster buying

Add a button under the Countdown Timer widget, that will direct customers to a purchase page or to any other page you set. Don’t let a single user miss a purchase and shorten the buying journey. You can also edit button label and enter the one that will sound encouraging.

Holiday themes to create the mood

With theme sales bars for holiday sales and special offers, you will keep your website in the mood and attract shoppers. Use one of the predefined themes: Christmas, New Year, Black Friday, Valentine’s and more. Keep a celebration atmosphere to attract sales.
