A countdown timer shows a live deadline on your bundle, creating urgency that encourages shoppers to buy now instead of "later" (which often means never). It's a simple, proven way to lift conversions on limited-time offers.
Best for: flash sales, launches, seasonal promotions, and any limited-time bundle.
How to add a countdown timer
On your MBC Bundles dashboard, open the bundle in the editor (or click Create new bundle).
Go to the Schedule / Deadline section.
Set the End date and time for the offer. [Screenshot: Deadline date & time picker]
Turn on Show countdown timer so the deadline appears on the widget.
Choose the deadline action — what happens when the timer reaches zero:
Hide the bundle — the widget disappears when time runs out.
Unpublish — the bundle is deactivated automatically.
Keep visible, stop discount — the products remain but the bundle price ends.
Click Save and Publish.
Tips
Keep it honest. A timer that resets forever trains shoppers to ignore it. Use real deadlines.
Pair the countdown with a scheduled start date so the whole promotion runs on autopilot.
Double-check the time zone — the deadline is based on the store's configured time, so confirm it matches your customers' expectations.
