Today, in the vast majority of online stores, we can see countdown timers. This is due to the fact that store owners seek to limit the time to make a decision and force them to buy, click a button, or perform some targeted action right here and now. Otherwise, the visitor will not receive a “bun” in the form of a discount or a gift. Of course, a timer doesn’t always have to be attractive to buy now. They also work great when showing the time until some important date. It could be the release of a new book, the arrival of a new collection, etc. You can also set a add product countdown timer in Shopify. It is quite easy and you will see it for yourself. Let’s get down to business immediately.
