Limited Time Offer
Limited time offer popup with live countdown for Shopify. Convert browsers into buyers using urgency tied to a real deadline. Live preview.
Why this template works
Countdown popups outperform static discount popups by 30-60% because they replace abstract urgency ("limited time") with concrete urgency (a ticking clock). Loss aversion is psychologically twice as strong as the desire to gain — when a visitor sees 23 minutes left on a discount, the cognitive cost of losing it now feels real, where "10% off this week" feels deferred. The four-box countdown (DD:HH:MM:SS) is the canonical format because it's scannable in any peripheral glance.
Tie this to an actual sale window — Shopify's spam filters and Google's product schema validators flag fake countdowns that reset every page reload. The template ships with persistent timestamp logic: every visitor sees the same deadline, not a fresh 24-hour clock.
When to use this template

Set up in 3 steps
- 01
Set a real deadline
A specific timestamp — sale ends Sunday 11:59 PM PT, not "ends soon." Real deadlines convert; fake ones erode trust.
- 02
Customize the offer
Bold the dollar value or percentage. "Save $40 on your first order" beats "10% off your first order" for orders > $400.
- 03
Set show frequency
Once per session is the floor. Once per visitor for the whole sale window keeps it visible without becoming annoying.
Frequently asked
Should I use the same countdown across multiple sales?
No — duplicate the template per sale and customize the deadline. Reusing the same countdown across different sales confuses returning visitors who notice the timer reset.
What happens after the countdown hits zero?
Auto-hides by default. You can flip to "Sale ended — join the waitlist" copy if you want post-deadline list-building.
Does this work for non-discount urgency?
Yes. Replace "10% off" with "Restock arrives in" or "Pre-order closes in" — the countdown works for any time-bound moment.
