Add a Countdown Timer to Wix
Set up your countdown, copy the code and paste it into an Embed HTML element in the Wix Editor. The countdown runs live on your page, with no app to install.
Why use it
01
No app to add
Countdown apps on the Wix App Market often charge monthly or cap views. Here it is a Wix HTML element and an iframe: nothing to install, nothing to cancel.
02
Wix Editor or Wix Studio
Wix Editor: Add Elements > Embed Code > Embed HTML. Wix Studio: Add Elements > Embed & Social > Embed Code. Either way: Enter Code, paste, apply.
03
Change it without republishing
The countdown lives on our side: change the title, colours or design from the countdown page and your Wix site follows, without touching the element.
04
Sales, openings, events
The end of a promotion, a store opening, a wedding or a trade show: a countdown on your home page pushes visitors to act before the deadline.
Playground
Try the widget before you embed it
Transparent background, live bar, colors, templates: try every option on a sample site and watch the code write itself.
How it works
Step 1
Set up your widget in the widget page tool: deadline, box or full-width section format, style.
Step 2
Create it and copy the code.
Step 3
In Wix, add an Embed HTML element, click Enter Code, paste, then resize the frame and publish.
Frequently asked questions
No. The Embed HTML element is part of the Wix Editor: the countdown code goes in as is. No app to add and no extra Wix subscription.
Wix shows the code in a fixed-size frame that you size by hand. Enlarge the HTML element until the whole countdown shows. On mobile, resize it in the mobile editor: the code itself cannot be edited there.
Not with the HTML element: Wix keeps the code inside its frame, so the bar cannot break out and stick to the screen. On Wix, use the box or the full-width section.
Yes, it is free with no sign-up. The free widget shows a small "Powered by WatchIsUp" credit. The Pro version removes it, makes the widget non-clickable and matches your colours.
