Description
Simple Countdown Timer adds a countdown to any page or post – for a sale that ends on Friday, a product launch, a webinar, or anything else with a deadline.
Build a timer in one click with a target date, or take control of the title, the wording shown when it finishes, and how each segment looks. Place it anywhere with a shortcode.
A deadline people can see is the difference between «this is cheaper» and «this is cheaper until Friday». That is the whole point of the plugin.
Features
- Quick timers – pick a date and get a working countdown in one click.
- Custom timers – full control over the setup.
- Timer title, and the heading tag it uses.
- Custom text shown once the countdown reaches zero.
- Hide the segments you do not need, such as seconds or days.
- Adjustable segment width and spacing.
- Place any timer with a shortcode.
Pro
Pro is for when a finished timer should do something rather than sit at zero, and for sites running more than one countdown at a time.
- Redirect visitors somewhere else the moment a timer finishes.
- Show a sign-up form instead of an expired countdown, and keep the list of who signed up.
- A timezone per timer, rather than one for the whole site.
- Custom colours for every part of the timer.
Other Plugins You Might Use Alongside It
Coming Soon Products — tease a WooCommerce product before it goes on sale, which is the other half of a launch countdown.
Quick View and Buy Now — let people buy in one click while the sale is still running.
