// why it matters

Built to move the metric you actually care about.

Benefit 01

Genuine urgency, not dark patterns

Real deadlines, real stock thresholds, real shipping cut-offs. Fake timers destroy trust — ours only fire on real constraints.

Benefit 02

Converts fence-sitters

A visible deadline gives hesitant browsers permission to buy now instead of bookmarking.

Benefit 03

Zero layout shift

Server-rendered with reserved space. No CLS penalty, no Core Web Vitals damage.

Benefit 04

Controllable from admin

Start date, end date, per-product or per-collection overrides — no code required to run a campaign.

// use cases

When to reach for this.

01

Flash sales and limited drops

End-of-sale countdown. Gives exit-intent a harder push without needing a popup.

02

Same-day shipping cut-off

'Order in 2h 14m for dispatch today.' Converts browsers who wanted it yesterday.

03

Pre-order deadlines

Crowdfunding-style urgency for launches — show buyers exactly how long they have.

04

Seasonal deadlines

Valentine's, Diwali, Christmas — hard ship dates make the timer honest and effective.

  • Only if you use it dishonestly. We wire timers to real constraints — sale end times, shipping cut-offs, genuine limited stock. Fake scarcity erodes trust and long-term CVR; we don't ship it.

  • No. It's server-rendered with reserved layout space and uses requestAnimationFrame, not setInterval — no layout shift, negligible CPU cost.

  • Yes. Set a store-wide default, override per collection, or per product via metafields. All controllable from the Shopify admin.

  • Configurable — hide the offer block, swap to a 'sold out' state, or auto-redirect to a follow-up product. Default is graceful hide with a fallback message.
