About TimerPlus: Countdown & Urgency Suite

From the official readme · v1.0.1

Description

TimerPlus: Countdown & Urgency Suite is a WordPress countdown timer plugin for promotions, product pages, content blocks, and WooCommerce stock urgency.

Use it to create WooCommerce product countdown timers, sale countdown bars, countdown blocks, countdown shortcodes, stock indicators, and low stock progress bars from one settings area.

What you can create

  • WooCommerce product countdown timers for fixed promotions, scheduled sale dates, or evergreen offers.
  • Sitewide sale countdown bars and announcement bars with a message, countdown timer, and optional call-to-action button.
  • Countdown blocks for the WordPress block editor, plus countdown shortcodes for classic content, widgets, and builders.
  • Stock indicators for WooCommerce product pages, including low stock messages and visual stock progress bars.
  • Product archive countdowns and stock urgency indicators on WooCommerce shop and category pages.

Enable the modules you want, configure them without code, and use the same plugin for sitewide bars, embedded countdowns in posts and pages, plus WooCommerce-only product countdowns and stock urgency when WooCommerce is active.

Add countdown timers to WooCommerce product pages

Create WooCommerce product countdown timers for launches, flash sales, limited-time offers, and scheduled discounts. You can also sync countdowns automatically with WooCommerce sale dates or use evergreen timers so each visitor gets their own countdown window.

Use individual product settings or countdown campaigns that target products and categories. Choose display positions and countdown themes to fit your store layout.

Show stock urgency with messages and progress bars

Display stock messaging and visual stock indicators directly on product pages. Use thresholds, labels, and progress bars to highlight low inventory and help shoppers understand stock status without leaving the product page.

You can also show compact stock urgency indicators in WooCommerce product loops, including shop and category archive pages.

Run sitewide promotional bars with countdowns

Launch sitewide countdown bars for storewide promotions, seasonal sales, and special events. Add your message, countdown timer, and optional call-to-action button, then choose whether the bar stays sticky or can be dismissed by visitors.

Embed standalone countdowns in posts and pages

Use the Countdown & Urgency block when you want a standalone Gutenberg countdown block in the WordPress editor. If you work in classic content, widget areas, or builders that accept shortcodes, use the built-in shortcode generator to create the same kind of countdown with theme and color controls.

Built for WooCommerce store owners

TimerPlus: Countdown & Urgency Suite is designed for WordPress sites that want flexible urgency tools, with deeper product and stock features for WooCommerce stores. Manage countdowns, stock indicators, bars, and content embeds from Settings -> TimerPlus: Countdown & Urgency Suite.

Evergreen product countdowns may store a browser localStorage value so each visitor sees a consistent countdown end time on later page loads. Admin countdown preview tools temporarily store signed-in preview state in user meta and transients so preview iframes can render the latest settings.
