How to add a countdown to your Chariow store

The countdown is a powerful lever to create a sense of urgency and encourage your visitors to take action faster. This article explains how to set up a 24-hour countdown on your Chariow store.

Odile ASSOGBA·October 7, 2026

Adding a time-scarcity element, such as a flash sale or a 24-hour limited offer, helps increase the conversion rate of your sales pages. Chariow integrates a dedicated element to display this countdown in just a few clicks, without any coding skills.

Steps

Access product management:

  • In your Chariow dashboard, click on the "Products" tab in the left sidebar menu.

  • Identify the product to which you wish to apply the temporary promotion.

  • Click on the three vertical dots under the "Actions" column to the right of the product in question, then select "Edit".

  1. Access the pricing menu:

    • In the product navigation column, click on the "Pricing" section.

  2. Configure the promotional price:

    • Enter the regular price in the "Price" field (e.g. 5000 FCFA).

    • Enter the reduced price in the "Promotional price" field (e.g. 2000 FCFA).

  3. Activate and set the validity period:

    • Activate the "Validity period of the selling price" toggle.

    • In the "From" field, select the start date and time of your promotional offer.

    • In the "To" field, select the end date and time (set a 24-hour interval from the start date to create a one-day flash sale).

    • (Optional) Activate the "Automatically renew the selling price" option if you wish to automatically extend the period once it expires.

  4. Save the changes:

    • Click the "Save" button at the bottom right to validate your settings.

Common Mistakes

  • Entering inconsistent dates: Make sure that the end date entered in the "To" field is indeed later than the date entered in "From".

  • Forgetting to save: If you leave the page without clicking "Save", the validity period will not be taken into account.
