Schedule Offer & Countdown Timer - Functions version

Running limited-time promotions is a proven way to increase urgency and drive conversions. With the Schedule Offer feature and built-in Countdown Timer, you can plan seasonal campaigns, flash sales, or time-bound discounts in advance and visually reinforce urgency on your storefront.

This guide explains how to schedule an offer and enable a countdown timer step by step.

What Is the Schedule Offer Feature?

The Schedule Offer feature allows you to define exactly when an offer should start and end. Once enabled, the discount will automatically activate and deactivate based on the selected time range—no manual intervention required.

You can also enable a countdown timer that shows customers how much time is left before the offer expires.

How to Schedule an Offer

1. Open your offer in the app
   
   

2. Scroll to the Schedule offer section
   
   

3. Set the Start date & time
   
   

4. Set the End date & time
   
   

⏱ Important:

• Dates and times are set in UTC format
  
  

• Time zone adjustments can be managed in the Advanced settings of the app
  
  

Once saved, the offer will only be active during the defined time window.

Enable the Countdown Timer

After scheduling your offer, you can enable the Countdown Timer to create urgency and encourage faster purchase decisions.

Available display options:

• Banner – Appears inline on the storefront
  
  

• Popup – Displays as an attention-grabbing popup
  
  

You can choose the format that best fits your store design and promotion style.

Important Note

⚠️ An End date is required to save and activate the countdown timer.
 Without an offer end date, the countdown timer cannot be enabled.
