  2. In the Discounty app, go to the campaign setup screen.

  3. Set:

    1. Start date/time of your campaign, if you want to schedule your campaign's start time and show the start countdown timer.

    2. End date/time of your campaign, if you want to schedule your campaign's end time and show the end countdown timer.

  4. Check either:

    1. Activate Start Countdown Timer (to show time remaining until the campaign starts).

    2. Activate End Countdown Timer (to show time left before the deal ends).

  5. Save changes.

  6. Go to Customization > Countdown timer.

  7. Toggle Display widget on store to ON.
