Can the Timer Reserve Products and Prevent Other Customers from Ordering?

Introduction


Rushy Scarcity Countdown Timer is built to create urgency by displaying a visual countdown timer during the shopping experience. While this visual urgency can boost conversions, it does not reserve products or block other customers from purchasing the same item, due to programmatic restrictions.

Key Detail


The app does not lock or hold inventory for the customer viewing the timer.
All products remain available to other customers until they are officially purchased.

Conclusion


The timer creates a powerful sense of Scarcity, but it does not prevent others from placing an order for the same product at the same time.
