Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:36 pm

Do you want to add a countdown timer in WooCommerce? A countdown timer can help create a sense of urgency and encourage customers to buy your products before they run out. In this article, we’ll show you how to add a countdown timer in WooCommerce.

Adding a countdown timer in WooCommerce is easy. First, you need to install and activate the Countdown Timer for WooCommerce plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Once the plugin is activated, go to your WooCommerce settings page and click on the ‘Countdown Timer’ tab.

On the ‘Countdown Timer’ settings page, you can choose whether to display the countdown timer on your product pages, cart pages, or both. You can also choose the position of the countdown timer and its color scheme.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to add a countdown timer to your WooCommerce store, be aware that there are some potential risks involved.

Countdown timers can create a sense of urgency and encourage customers to make impulsive decisions. This can lead to buyer’s remorse and could result in negative reviews for your store.

Additionally, countdown timers can be disruptive to the user experience and may cause customers to abandon their cart or leave your site altogether. If you do decide to use a countdown timer on your WooCommerce store, be sure to test it thoroughly and use it sparingly.

If you want to display the countdown timer on your product pages, make sure the ‘Enable Product Page Countdown Timer’ option is enabled. You can then select where you want the timer to appear: before the price, after the price, or both.

If you want to display the countdown timer on your cart pages, make sure the ‘Enable Cart Page Countdown Timer’ option is enabled. You can then select where you want the timer to appear: before the cart total, after the cart total, or both.

Once you’ve configured your settings, click on the ‘Save Changes’ button to save your changes.

Your WooCommerce store should now have a countdown timer that displays on your product and/or cart pages.
