Title and subheading
Write the text that appears above and around your countdown.
The Title and Subheading are the first fields on the Content tab, below the timer name.
Add a title
Open the timer and go to the Content tab.
Type your headline into the Title field.
Click Save.
Add a subheading
Type supporting text into the Subheading field.
Click Save.
The subheading is available on product page, top/bottom bar, and landing page timers. Cart page timers don't have one — their title is a single multi-line field that carries the whole message.
Cart page titles use a token
On a cart page timer, place {timer} inside the title where the countdown should appear:
See Cart page timer.
Timer name vs title
Two different things, easy to mix up:
| Field | Who sees it |
|---|---|
| Timer name | Only you. It's your internal label in the dashboard list. |
| Title | Your customers, on the storefront. |
The help text on the name field says so directly: Only visible to you. For your own internal reference.
Translate the text
Click the translation icon next to the title or subheading to add a version for each of your store's languages.
See Translate timer text.
Writing tips
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|
Flash sale ends in: | Sale |
Order within the next: | Time is running out on this amazing limited offer! |
Free shipping ends in: | Hurry!!! |
Tip
Write the title so it reads into the countdown. Sale ends in: followed by digits is a complete sentence; Big Sale followed by digits is two disconnected things.
