Delivery cut-off

A line under the button: 'Order in 2 h 14 min, ships today'.

Any page where it's true. It's the most honest kind of urgency.

Watch out

It must match your warehouse's real cut-off time.

Low-stock note

A small line under the button when a batch is really running low.

Use it when

Limited batches and seasonal products.

Never invent stock. If it always says 'only 12 left', buyers notice.

Countdown to a real date

A timer counting down to a real date, like a launch or the end of a sale.

Use it when

Launches and promotions with a fixed end date.

Watch out

A timer that resets on refresh kills trust. Use real dates only.
