Getting Started

In this guide, we'll show you how to add a Deadline Funnel timer to your Shopify page.

This process involves 3 steps:

Deadline Funnel default behavior

The default behavior in Deadline Funnel is to always show a deadline on the page.

  • If the visitor has already been tracked by Deadline Funnel, then we'll show their existing deadline.

  • If they haven't been tracked yet, Deadline Funnel will start tracking them via their IP address/cookie, and display a new deadline for that user.


Create your Deadline Funnel campaign

You will need to create your first campaign before you can add your timer to a Shopify page.

Once you've created your Deadline Funnel campaign, you can follow the steps below to integrate with Shopify.
