There’s a simple psychological principle: when time is limited, people are more likely to take action, such as making a purchase. This is why countdown timers are so effective — they create urgency and prompt customers to act quickly before time runs out.
At Amasty, we’ve been helping businesses with Ecwid solutions for a while now, and we wanted to make it easy for Ecwid users to add a countdown timer to their stores. That’s why we created Countdown Timer Pro — an intuitive countdown app that integrates seamlessly with your Ecwid store. With this app, you can quickly create, customize, preview, and publish countdown timers.

Key Features of Amasty’s Countdown Timer
Countdown to Date and Time
Set a specific start and end time for your countdown, and the timer countdown will automatically appear on your website and end at the scheduled time. This feature is perfect for sales, pre-sales, events, product launches, and exclusive offers, helping create a sense of urgency for your customers. You can also use it for flash deals, seasonal promotions, or limited-time discounts to encourage quick action. Simply set it up and let the countdown drive your sales!
Personalized Countdown for Each Customer
You don’t have to wait for a specific promotion to start a countdown timer. With a personalized countdown for each customer, the countdown clock appears with every new session, engaging visitors from their very first visit to your store. This ensures that every customer sees your promotion, no matter when they land on your website — whether it's a different season, month, or year.
Customization Options
Fully customize your countdown widget to match your brand’s look and feel. You can adjust the text — headings, subheadings, and more — along with controlling the font, size, formatting, and color. Add a button or make the entire timer clickable to redirect users to a specific page, such as your Sale collection, terms and conditions, or a landing page.
Choose which time units to display (days, hours, minutes, or seconds) and adjust the background color, timer window colors, and the color of the time units to ensure the design fits seamlessly with your store's aesthetic.
Display Control
Control where the countdown timer appears — on the homepage only or across your entire website — to ensure your customers never miss your promotion. Use the preview mode to check how the timer looks before publishing, with options to view it on both desktop and mobile devices for a seamless experience across all platforms.
