A countdown timer for WooCommerce that shows sentence-format messages like "Order within 02:34:15 for same-day shipping!"

== Description ==

211J Countdown Timer for WooCommerce adds a dynamic countdown timer to your WooCommerce product pages that encourages customers to place orders before your same-day shipping cutoff time.

The timer displays in a natural sentence format — "Order within 02:34:15 for same-day shipping!" — making it easy for customers to understand exactly how long they have left.

**Features:**

* Sentence-format display with customizable message template
* Configurable daily cutoff time for same-day shipping
* Smart display logic — only shows when applicable (before cutoff, in-stock products)
* Weekend shipping control
* Visual urgency states as the deadline approaches
* Fully responsive design
* Accessibility ready with ARIA labels
* Per-product override support via the WooCommerce product Shipping tab

2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
3. Go to **WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Countdown Timer** to configure the plugin.
4. Set your cutoff time and customize your message.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
