Use case
Countdown timer for shipping cut-offs
“Order by 2 pm for same-day dispatch” is true every working day, so the timer should be too. A countdown to a single date is wrong by tomorrow. What you need is one that counts to 2 pm in your warehouse’s time zone, then starts over for the next day.
The timer to use
Repeating timer
Counts down to the same local time every day, on weekdays or once a week, and follows daylight-saving changes in the time zone you choose.
Set it up
Click Get code, pick Repeats, and set the reset time and time zone — for example 14:00 in Europe/Berlin on weekdays. Put the code in your newsletter footer, order confirmation or transactional emails; each open shows the time left until the next cut-off.

The same link embeds on your product page as an iframe, so the page and the email count to the same cut-off. Choose On a website in Get code for the embed code.
Changing the cut-off
Moving to a 3 pm cut-off for the holidays? Edit the reset time on the link. Emails already sent and the website embed follow within minutes.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What about weekends?
Pick weekdays: on Friday afternoon the timer counts to Monday’s cut-off rather than Saturday’s.
Does daylight saving break it?
No. The reset time is kept in the time zone you choose, so 14:00 stays 14:00 local time across the clock change.
Can it skip public holidays?
Not automatically. Around a holiday, change the schedule on the link and change it back afterwards — sent emails follow both changes.
