We've added a new widget: Dispatch timer. It's a countdown to your cutoff time that tells shoppers something very concrete: order now and it ships today. With the clock in sight, buying stops being "at some point" and becomes "right now".
Pick a template
Four ways to show the same thing:
Bar with countdown — full width, with the time in a chip on the right. The most visible one, and the one that works best right next to the buy button.
Plain line — no box, inherits your store's typography. Great for product pages that already have several notices.
Digit blocks — the countdown in hour, minute and second blocks. The most urgent of the four.
Closing time — a bar that empties towards your cutoff. Shows the fact without shouting.
When you switch templates, the colors that suit that shape are applied. You can edit them afterwards.
Set your cutoff time
It's the only thing you really need: how late you dispatch each day. The countdown runs to that point, always in your store's time zone.
A different time per day: if you close earlier on Fridays, you add just that exception and the rest of the week keeps the general time.
Days you don't dispatch: Saturdays and Sundays, with a switch.
Holidays: add the one-off dates when no orders go out.
The widget changes on its own during the day
You don't have to touch anything — the timer knows where it stands.
Makes it in time: "your order ships TODAY" plus the time left.
Final minutes: switches to the urgency message and colors. You decide below how many minutes.
Past the cutoff: you choose whether it keeps counting down to your next dispatch day, shows only the message, or hides until tomorrow.
Non-dispatch day: tells shoppers when the order will go out, without a clock.
You write the copy
Every state has its own editable message. Inside the text you can insert:
{dispatch}— TODAY, TOMORROW or the day it ships{countdown}— the time left{time}— your cutoff time{day}— the day in words
Add the top label
A small tag that sits on the widget's top edge, something like "FREE SHIPPING OVER $80". You choose the text, which side it sits on, and its colors.
You choose the colors
Background, text and accent color for the label and the clock, plus a separate set for the final minutes before the cutoff. You can also adjust text size, corner rounding and the border.
Where it shows
On the product page, in any of the four positions: above or below the buy button, and before or after the description. If you have other widgets in the same spot, you decide the order from Order widgets.
You can show it across the whole store, only on some products, or only in certain categories.
One detail that saves you complaints
If the product is out of stock, the widget doesn't show. There's no point promising same-day dispatch for something you don't have.
Availability
It's available for all stores now. Create it from Widgets → New widget → Dispatch timer.
