Can I install timers myself?

I'm a Shopify store owner looking to add countdown timers to my promotional campaigns. I've heard about the benefits of creating urgency, but I'm unsure whether I can implement these timers independently or if I need specialized technical skills. My main concerns are the complexity of installation, potential impact on site performance, and whether I'll need to write custom code to make these timers work effectively across my product and cart pages.
