A countdown gives shoppers a reason to buy today. The new Flash Sale section shows the products you pick with a live timer, and it hides itself when the sale ends.

Frequently asked questions

Does the timer change my prices?

No. The section shows the sale price you set on each product. Change prices on the product itself.

What happens when the countdown ends?

The section hides itself, so shoppers never see an expired offer.

Can I schedule a sale for later?

Yes. Set Sale starts as well as Sale ends, and the section appears only during that window.
