FYI, the WPC Product Timer is a backend solution, so there is no alert to be shown on the frontend.
For your case, you can kindly use our new free plugin WPC Smart Messages to insert a message with a countdown timer to let customers know when this product is not available/hidden. You can set up the same date/time for the message to appear for chosen products.
You can watch below video to learn more about how you can do that:
I'm excited as this does seem like a potential solution, however I am having trouble implementing it. I would like to use the first example and start by opening the Smart Messages menu >> Add New:
I then copy and paste the below text:
1/ Countdown Built-in Shortcode:
Location: General >> Before main content
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><i class="ion-flash"></i> Flash sale is on for <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>[wpcsm_human_time_diff to="MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM"]</strong></span>. Go to <strong><span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="Your-Link">Shop</a></span></strong>.</span></p>

Unfortunately all that does is add the same text to every product page, for example:

Hi WPC team,
This plugin works great. I'm using it to automatically set specific products on my e-commerce site to 'hide' after a certain amount of time.
I'm reaching out as I'm wondering whether it was possible to show, on the front end, the time at which point the product is hidden?
This would allow customers to see how much time is left before the product is hidden, or another action is taken.
HEre is an example of a product that I currently have set to hide after 72 hours. What I'm after is for it to show this time limit on the page:

Hi again Janilyn, please disregard my below reply. I've figured it out!
I needed to add that code to a HTML module, and now it is working perfectly. Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction :-)
