Squarespace has no native countdown timer, which leaves sales, launches and event pages with static text where the urgency should be. This $19 plugin from SQSPThemes adds a real-time countdown to any page, on both Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1, and the detail that makes it better than an embedded widget is what happens when the clock hits zero: you can hide the timer, open a lightbox, redirect to another page, replace it with text, or add text before or after it. That means an expired flash sale can automatically send visitors to the next offer instead of showing a dead timer. You can also run it on a fixed duration instead of an end date. Setup is copy-and-paste with a video walkthrough, and the styling is easy to match to your template.

The expiry behavior is the reason to pick this one over a generic embed. When the timer reaches zero you choose what happens next: hide the timer entirely, open a lightbox, redirect visitors to another page, replace the timer with text, or add text before or after it. In practice that means your Black Friday page can roll straight into a Cyber Monday redirect at midnight without you touching the site. There is also a fixed-time mode, so you can count down a set duration rather than to a calendar date, which suits evergreen offers.
It supports both Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1, installs with copy-and-paste code (so you need a plan that supports code injection), and comes with a demo, a setup video and SQSPThemes' usual responsive support. $19 for a single-site license, with a Business License available for designers, and an optional Concierge Setup if you would rather have it installed for you.
