Preview is a mock store — colours and text match the code below exactly.
How to add it to your Shopify store
No app, no developer. Takes about two minutes.
- Copy the code above. Adjust the settings on the left first — the code updates as you type.
- In Online Store → Themes → Customize, add a Custom Liquid section where you want it to appear (or add it to your theme's footer to show it site-wide).
- Paste the code into that section.
- Click Save. That's it — check your live store to see it working.
Prefer it site-wide and always-on? Paste the same code into theme.liquid just before the closing </body> tag (Online Store → Themes → Edit code).
Fixed date vs evergreen countdowns
A fixed-date timer counts down to one real deadline — the end of a Black Friday sale, a pre-order cut-off, a shipping deadline before Christmas. It's honest and everyone sees the same clock.
An evergreen timer starts fresh for each visitor (say, 24 hours from their first visit) and is stored in their browser. It's useful for an always-on offer, but use it carefully — if a shopper clears their cookies or visits from another device and sees the clock reset, it can feel fake. Never pair an evergreen timer with wording like "only today".
What the generated code does
- Counts down in days, hours, minutes and seconds, updating every second.
- For evergreen mode, saves the per-visitor deadline in
localStorage. - When it hits zero, either shows your message or hides itself.
- Boxed or inline style, your colours. Pure HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Where to use it
- On the product page, just above the add-to-cart button.
- On a sale collection page, near the top.
- In the cart or a slide-out drawer to nudge checkout.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what people ask most.
Fixed or evergreen, which should I use?
Fixed for a real deadline everyone shares, like a sale end or shipping cut-off. Evergreen for an always-on offer, where each visitor gets their own countdown.
Is the evergreen timer honest?
It is a real per-visitor countdown stored in their browser. Just do not pair it with wording like "today only", and know that clearing cookies resets it.
Is the countdown timer free?
Yes, free, no app.
Where do I put it?
Product pages above the add-to-cart button, sale collection pages, or the cart.
What happens when it hits zero?
Either it shows a message you write, or it hides itself. Your choice.
Does it keep the right time if the shopper navigates away?
A fixed timer always shows the correct remaining time. An evergreen one resumes from where it was.
