What are countdown plans?

Limited-time offers (formerly countdown plans) are sold until a date you choose, then disappear from your page automatically

A limited-time offer is a plan you only sell until a date and time you choose. These used to be called countdown plans. Use them for special promotions – for example, a particularly cheap plan that’s only available for two days.

On your Steady page, the plan shows a countdown so readers can see how much time is left.

What happens when the offer ends?

  • The plan disappears from your Steady page and checkout, and nobody can join it any more.

  • Everyone who joined before the end date stays a member of the plan.

  • The plan isn’t archived. If you want to sell it again, choose a new end date or turn the limited-time offer off.

How do I set up a limited-time offer?

  1. Go to Plans and create a new plan – or open an existing plan’s details and click Edit.

  2. In the Settings section, turn on Make this a limited-time offer.

  3. Choose the date and time when the offer should end. The time is in GMT.

  4. Click Save – or Publish for a new plan.

Our tip: Mention the end date when you promote the offer in your newsletter or on social media – a clear deadline helps people decide.
