# How does the Product Page Timer work in the Countdown Timers in the ToastiBar app?

## Platform Availability

The **Product Page Timer** feature is available for **Shopify and Shopline** merchants. If your store runs on either platform, you can easily create, customize, and display timers directly on your product pages.

With customizable design and flexible timer settings, you can easily tailor the countdown to match your store’s style and marketing goals.

**Key Benefits:**

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to enable, configure, and make the most of your Product Page Timer to boost sales and enhance customer experience.

## Content

### Status

[![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/3/1/a/b31a5d0521d31800/02-product-page-status_1ers8x9.png)](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/3/1/a/b31a5d0521d31800/02-product-page-status_1ers8x9.png)

The **Status** option allows you to **publish** or **unpublish** the Product Page Timer on your product pages.

* **Published:** The timer will be visible on the product page based on the conditions you’ve set.
* **Unpublished:** The timer will be hidden and won’t appear on the storefront, but your settings will be saved for future use.

### Timer Settings

[![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/3/1/a/b31a5d0521d31800/03-product-page-timer-settings_yxkbhq.png)](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/3/1/a/b31a5d0521d31800/03-product-page-timer-settings_yxkbhq.png)

The **Timer Settings** section allows you to define the core content that appears along with the countdown timer on your product page. This is where you can set the name for internal use and customize the main heading and subheading that your customers will see.

#### Timer Name

This is an **internal name** for your reference only. It won’t be visible on your storefront. Use a descriptive name to easily identify the purpose of the timer, for example, “Black Friday Sale” or “Limited Stock Countdown.”

#### Title

This is the **main heading** displayed **above the countdown timer** on your product page. Use this space to grab the shopper’s attention and highlight the urgency. For example, “Hurry up!”.

You can instantly generate compelling Titles with a single click on the “**Generate with AI**” button. This feature uses advanced **AI** to create clear, engaging headings that capture attention and enhance your message effortlessly.

#### Subheading

You can add an optional **subheading below the title** to provide more context or a supporting message. For example, “Offer ends in”.

### Timer Labels

[![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/3/1/a/b31a5d0521d31800/04-product-page-timer-labels_isnryv.png)](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/3/1/a/b31a5d0521d31800/04-product-page-timer-labels_isnryv.png)

Customize the labels that appear below each time unit in your countdown timer. This helps ensure the timer aligns with your store’s tone, language, and branding.

#### Days Label

The label is shown below the **Days** section of the timer.
**Example:** `Days, Días, D`

#### Hours Label

The label is shown below the **Hours** section of the timer.
**Example:** `Hours, Hrs, Heures`

#### Minutes Label

The label is shown below the **Minutes** section of the timer.
**Example:** `Minutes, Min, Minuten`

#### Seconds Label

The label is shown below the **Seconds** section of the timer.
**Example:** `Seconds, Sec, Segundos`

### Timer Type

[![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/3/1/a/b31a5d0521d31800/05-product-page-timer-type_ebmhwl.png)](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/3/1/a/b31a5d0521d31800/05-product-page-timer-type_ebmhwl.png)

The **Timer Type** setting lets you choose how your countdown behaves on the product page. You can decide whether the timer ends at a specific calendar date or runs for a fixed duration per visitor session.

#### Specific Date

Use this option to set a timer that **counts down to a specific date and time**, perfect for flash sales, holiday promotions, or any limited-time offer. For example, the Timer ends on **May 31, 2025, at 11:59 PM**.

#### Fixed Minutes

Choose this option to show a **countdown based on each visitor’s session**, such as a 15-minute or 30-minute timer. The timer starts fresh for every new visitor or session. For example, the Timer starts at **15 minutes** and counts down once a user lands on the product page.

### Timer Behaviour (For Specific Date)

The **Timer Behavior** settings let you control when your countdown timer starts and ends, and what happens after it finishes. This gives you full flexibility to align the timer with your promotional campaigns.

#### Timer Starts

##### Right Now

The timer starts **immediately** upon activation or publishing. Great for spontaneous sales or flash deals.

##### Schedule Later

Set a **future date and time** for the timer to start. Ideal for pre-planned campaigns like product launches or holiday events.

#### Timer Schedule

##### Start Time [Associated with Schedule Later]

Set the specific time (in UTC) the countdown should start.

##### End Date

Select when the countdown ends.

##### End Time

Set the exact time the countdown should stop.

### Timer Behaviour (For Fixed Minutes)

When you select **Fixed Minutes** as your Timer Type, the countdown is session-based, meaning it starts fresh for every new visitor. The behavior settings in this mode are simplified to focus on duration.

#### Countdown Duration

[![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/3/1/a/b31a5d0521d31800/08-product-page-countdown-dura_j9smau.png)](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/3/1/a/b31a5d0521d31800/08-product-page-countdown-dura_j9smau.png)

Set how long the countdown should run for **each visitor session**.

##### Minutes

Enter the number of minutes you'd like the timer to run. For example, setting this to 15 will show a 15-minute countdown every time a customer lands on the product page.

#### Action After Timer Ends

[![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/3/1/a/b31a5d0521d31800/09-product-page-action-after-t_1kkk6gf.png)](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/3/1/a/b31a5d0521d31800/09-product-page-action-after-t_1kkk6gf.png)

Decide what should happen when the countdown reaches zero.

* **Hide timer for the buyer:**
The timer will disappear from the product page once it ends.

* **Reset Timer [Associated with Fixed Minutes]**
The timer automatically restarts from the original countdown duration for each session.

* **Display a message:**
Replace the timer with a custom message to inform customers that the promotion has ended or to guide them to another offer.

##### Message

Write the message that will appear after the timer ends. For example, "Oops! This offer has expired. Stay tuned for our next deal!"
