The landing page countdown timer is a wonderful way to notify all of your e-commerce store customers about current promotions, sales, or upcoming events. Add it as a block to any of your Shopify store pages to communicate a promotion and drive your traffic to your desired page.

The integrated call-to-action is great for sending your customers to a certain page or promotion. You can choose from adding a button or simply making the whole bar clickable. Just add the link to where you want your top-bar timer to redirect your users, and you’re all set.
