How to add a countdown timer to Wix

Wix has an element made exactly for this: Embed a Widget takes arbitrary HTML and renders it in an iframe of its own. Because a tikio embed is already an iframe with fixed dimensions, the only thing to get right is matching the element size to the timer.

  1. Design your countdown in tikio

    Build the timer once in the editor — colors, fonts, labels and languages. The same published design serves your website and your email campaigns, so the page and the inbox never drift apart.

  2. Publish and copy the embed code

    Hit Publish, switch the snippet type to the website embed and copy the iframe. The width and height come from your design, so the timer lands on the page at exactly the size you drew it.

    <iframe src="https://tikio.io/e/a1b2.html?target=2026-08-01T20:00" title="Offer ends soon" width="480" height="140" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border:0;"></iframe>

  3. Add an Embed HTML element

    In the Wix editor choose Add → Embed Code → Embed HTML, pick the Code option and paste the iframe. Then drag the element to the same width and height as the snippet — if the element is smaller, Wix clips the timer.

    <iframe src="https://tikio.io/e/a1b2.html?target=2026-08-01T20:00" title="Offer ends soon" width="480" height="140" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border:0;"></iframe>

The same countdown in your emails

Wix email campaigns can carry the same countdown as an image: swap .html for .gif and use it as an image URL. One published design serves both.

<img src="https://tikio.io/e/a1b2.gif?target=2026-08-01T20:00" alt="Offer ends soon" style="border:0;" />

FAQ

The timer is cut off — what went wrong?

The Wix element is smaller than the embed. Resize the element to at least the width and height in the iframe snippet; those numbers come from your design, so they are exact.

Do I need a premium Wix plan?

Embedding HTML is an editor feature rather than a paid add-on, but a site must be published on a connected domain for embeds to behave normally for visitors.

Why does the countdown not show in the editor?

The Wix editor renders embedded HTML only in Preview and on the published site. Use Preview to check it.
