In the 2000s, flash sale became popular. It’s a type of sale where certain items are sold at a big discount, but the sale only lasts for a short time. Also, you never hear about the flash sale. Most of the time, the sale gives a 50% to 70% discount.
They work best for things or stock that you want to sell right away. In this type of sale, the buyer has to buy the item right away or lose the chance to get it. It plays on something called “fear of missing out.”
If you have a Shopify store and have already found dropshipping products that sell, you should have a flash sale every once in a while. The question is which app you should use. Today, I’ll show you the best flash sale apps for Shopify.
Urgent Pack Ultimate by KILATECH
You can do a flash sale with this app because it has several features that let you do so. It has a pop-up for sales, a countdown timer, trust badges, and a system for keeping track of inventory.
Here are some of the things the app can do:
- The Countdown Timer: has four transition timers, and the text can be changed to fit the event.
- Stock Counter: This tells the customer how many more items are still in stock.
- Sales Pop-Up: You can show a user of your site that a sale was made by making a custom message. You can show “fake” sales or do it in real time.
- Trusted Badges: You can pick from more than 100 trusted badges, such as credit card and security symbols.
This app’s best feature is that it is 100%. There are no plans, and you can’t try it out first. No matter which Shopify plan you have, you can use this app.
KILATECH’s Countdown Timer Ultimate
This app is made by the same person who made the last one, but this one is just a countdown timer. You can choose the free plan or the paid version, which costs $3.99 per month.
Here’s what it has:
- Design Of The Clock: All of the clocks on the timer are digital, but you can choose from different styles.
- Customization: means that you can change the colors and fonts if you don’t like the ones that come with the program.
- Mobile-Friendly: No matter what browser the customer is using, the app will automatically change so that it can be seen on a phone or tablet.
The Kilatech logo will be taken off the timer in the paid plan. You get nothing else. All of the features are the same whether you get the free one or the paid one.
Easy Countdown Timer by Henrpiel
This free app lets you make a countdown timer that you can put on a banner. The banner will show up on the pages you chose, but not for any particular products.
Here’s what it has:
- Customizable: The time, color, and size of the text can all be changed.
- No Coding: The app is built into your Shopify theme, so you don’t have to do any coding.
- Manageable start And End Dates: Start and end dates that are easy to keep track of. You decide when your sale will begin and end.
This app is great if you want to have a site-wide flash sale. You can’t use this to make a flash sale for a certain product category or collection. I would only suggest this if you have a big sale on Black Friday, Christmas, Graduation, or another holiday.
Pixel Union Countdown Sales Timer
This is another free app that could help you sell more. You can make people feel like they need to act quickly by putting a timer at the top of your website.
Here’s what it has:
- Instant Installation: You don’t need to know how to code to install it right away. Just install it and change the settings on the timer, and you should be good to go.
- Recurring Timers: You can set up a timer that goes back to its original setting every 24 hours.
- Advanced Scheduling: You can set up a timer right now, but it won’t work until you tell it to in the settings. You can also tell it when to stop, and it will do so on its own.
You can use it for flash sales, holiday sales, and launching new products. Like the last app, this one can’t be used for single items or collections. You can use it for more than just a flash sale on your site. You can also use it to tell people about special deals like free or cheap shipping.
Hextom Countdown Timer Bar
There are two plans to choose from: one is free and the other costs $9.99 per month. For the paid plan, you get all of the features of the free plan, plus you can use as many active bars as you want.

- Multiple Types: You can make different types of timers to fit your needs. You can make a countdown that happens once a day or once a week, and you can also make a timer based on the number of visitors to your site.
- Call-To-Action (CTA) Button: You can add a CTA button to your timer, which is likely to boost your sales. If the user clicks it, he will be taken to the product page or the product will be added to the cart.
- Geo-Target –means that you can set the timers and notification bars to show up depending on where the site visitor is from.
The app also has a feature that lets you schedule things, and you can use the auto-recurring feature so that the timers start over when they reach zero.

Over and above the free one, there are two other price points. One costs $9.99 a month, while the other costs $29.99 a month. With the most expensive plan, you can offer buy-one-get-one-free deals, use smart labels, and target customers based on how much they spend.

Top Flash Sale Apps for Shopify
If you don’t already have a flash sale app, you should choose one from the top I’ve listed here. It’s an important part of your marketing plan if you want to make more money. It’s up to you whether you want a free version or a paid one.
No matter what it is, my advice is to pick a program that has everything you need. If the software has a free version, check out the features of the paid version and then decide if you’ll need it later. If you do, start with the free one and then upgrade if you want to.
