A countdown for your own sale
Shoppers look for the exact moment a sale starts. Choose Customize this countdown and set it up for your store:
- Set the start time of your sale and the time zone you announce it in, for example 12:00 a.m. Eastern.
- Give it a title such as “Black Friday sale starts in” and match your brand colors.
- Optionally add a redirect: when the countdown ends, visitors on the countdown page go straight to your sale.
- Use Embed on website to add it to your store’s homepage or a banner. See the website embed guide.
Embedded countdowns never show ads, so they won’t advertise anyone else’s deals on your page. Email newsletters can’t run live embeds, so link to the countdown from your emails instead.
Because Black Friday’s date changes, links you copy from this page count down to this year’s Black Friday.
