Real-Time Countdown

Select the amount of time you want to count down to suit your store’s purposes. We recommend allowing time for customers to browse your site and complete the checkout process, even on slow internet connections.

Customizable Sitewide Countdown Bar

Fully customize your message inside the countdown bar and display it across your entire store. Easily style the background and font color with our settings. You can use tags to display the amount of time anywhere in the countdown. The tags are {days} {hours} {minutes} and {seconds}.

When items are added to cart, your custom message will display in the countdown bar. It could be something like “Your order will expire after 15 minutes and 22 seconds. Don’t miss out!”

Customizable Expiration Message

You can easily add an expiration message to display after the countdown has reached zero. This is a friendly way to let your customer know that the countdown has expired. 

An example expiry message could be, “Oh no! It looks like you weren’t quick enough. Give it another try. We don’t want you to miss out!”

The message will display for a short amount of time before displaying your default message. Alternatively, this works great alongside Checkout Countdown Pro features, such as empty cart, refresh cart and prices, and loop countdown.

Countdown Checkout Notice

This notice appears on the checkout page inside the default WooCommerce notice, which uses your theme’s default styling. You can use this notice if you only want the countdown to display in the checkout, as opposed to across your whole store. You can easily turn this on and off inside the settings page.

Personalized Default Message

You can set a personalized message to appear by default before any product is added to the cart. This can be used to inform customers of limited time offers or special sales you’re running

This message will be displayed in the same space your countdown will appear after customers add a product to their cart. An example of a default message could be, “Our summer sale ends at midnight. Grab a bargain today!”

Countdown Cart Notice

The cart notice only appears on the cart page. It’s a default WooCommerce notice with your countdown inside. The notice therefore uses your theme’s default styling. You can easily turn this on and off inside the settings page.

Countdown Continues When Customers Leave Your Site

Checkout Countdown will continue counting even if the customer closes their browser. The session is saved into the browser, so when they visit your store again, the countdown will continue in real time or expire. 

Lightweight

Our countdown timer does all the work in your visitor’s browser. This means that your database will never clog up, even with 10,000+ active visitors! Checkout Countdown uses LocalStorage with JavaScript, which is supported by all major browsers on desktop and mobile.
