Date & Time based dynamic tags allow you to dynamically insert and format time-sensitive information into your pages. These tags are essential for creating urgency and displaying timely information, as they can retrieve key dates directly from your PrestaShop catalog, such as the expiration date of a Cart Rule, the end of a Catalog Price Rule promotion, or the restock date for an out-of-stock product. You can also display the current date and time or the publication date of a page. They are most commonly used to power the Countdown widget, ensuring your timers are always perfectly synchronized with your store's promotions. Common settings often include the ability to format the date and time display to match your site's regional style.
Date time based dynamic tags on different page types
Catalog tags
