2. Now you will see an overview of your events. Select the one that you would like to add a countdown timer to the shop for by clicking on the blue ‘Edit event’ button on the right.

3. In this menu, you will be able to edit your event. However, in order to add a countdown timer, you will need to click on the ticket icon on the left side of the screen.

4. Now you will see the basic ticket settings. In order to edit the advanced settings, you will need to click on ‘More options’ in the top-right corner and toggle on the ‘Countdown in shop’ option.
