Countdown
The Countdown section counts down to a date and time in the visitor's local time, over a background image, and shows your message when it ends.
How to set it up
Step 1: Add the Countdown section
- In the theme editor, open the page you want and click Add section under Template.
- Search for Countdown and select it (1).
Step 2: Set the deadline
- Type the End date (1) as YYYY-MM-DD and the End time as HH:MM (24-hour), the message after the end, a button and a background image.
