Questions

Countdown, answered.

What can the timer count down to?
A specific launch or restock date, the end of a pre-order window, or a fixed duration you set.
Does the countdown work on its own?
It's designed to pair with another experience — a pre-order, Coming Soon, or a launch-price sale — to add urgency to that moment.
Can I match it to my theme?
Yes — the timer's styling and placement are yours to adjust so it sits naturally on the product page.
What happens when it reaches zero?
That's up to the experience it's paired with — a pre-order opening, a launch going live, or an offer ending.
