Is the Countdown Timer compatible with Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1?

Yes, Elfsight works with all Squarespace versions, including classic 7.0 and the latest 7.1 with Fluid Engine. It integrates smoothly with any Squarespace template.

Which Squarespace plans support adding the Countdown plugin?

You need a Squarespace plan that allows custom code. Business or higher plans support embedding JavaScript widgets, while Personal or Basic plans don’t allow code blocks or header/footer script injections.

Can the Countdown Timer count up instead of down?

Yes, in the Number Counter type you can set custom starting and finishing numbers, allowing the counter to increase instead of decrease.

How do I set a delayed start for the timer?

In the Countdown to Date type, you can use the Start Time option to set a future date so the timer appears and begins counting at the scheduled time.

What happens when the timer reaches zero?

You can choose one of three behaviors: the timer disappears from the page, it shows a custom message that you configure in the plugin settings, or redirect visitors to a specified URL.

Does the Countdown Timer support time zones?

Yes, the Countdown to Date type includes timezone settings so all visitors see the same countdown aligned to your specified timezone regardless of their location.

Can the timer repeat annually on the same date?

In Countdown to Date, you can repeat the timer yearly or on custom schedules, while Personal Countdown repeats after a set number of days, hours, minutes, or seconds.

Is there a maximum timer duration?

No, there’s no technical limit. You can create countdowns that span months, years, or any duration using the available time units.

What is a Personal Countdown Timer?

A Personal Countdown Timer creates a unique countdown for each visitor that starts when they open the page and continues across sessions, even if they leave and return later.

Does the Countdown Timer support holiday themes?

Yes, Elfsight provides ready-to-use holiday themes for occasions like Halloween, Black Friday, Christmas, and New Year.

What actions can I assign to buttons in the plugin?

In Number Counter and Personal Countdown, buttons can link to a URL, email, or phone, or open a form. Countdown to Date also supports adding a Google Calendar event button.

What specific events can I track with Google Analytics?
