Adding TickCounter to your website
Adding TickCounter to your website
TickCounter provides an embed code for your countdown timer.
The code will look similar to the example shown below:
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, pjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "https://www.tickcounter.com/static/js/loader.js";
pjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, pjs);
}(document, "script", "tickcounter-sdk"));
</script>
or
<iframe src="https://www.tickcounter.com/countdown/YOUR_ID"
allowTransparency="true"
frameborder="0">
</iframe>
The code shown above is provided as an example only. You must copy the exact embed code provided in your TickCounter account.
To install the countdown on a specific page:
- Navigate to the page you want to edit in ShopWired
- Add a Custom HTML block/element
- Paste the TickCounter embed code into the block
- Save and publish the page
The countdown timer will display in the location where the Custom HTML element is added.
