Do timers work with mobile payment methods?

Question

As an e-commerce store owner, I'm exploring ways to increase conversions on mobile devices and wondering about the compatibility of countdown timers with various mobile payment methods. I want to ensure that the urgency created by a timer doesn't break or conflict with mobile checkout processes like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or other digital wallets. How do countdown timers interact with mobile payment systems, and are there any potential technical limitations or best practices I should be aware of?

Should Exit-Intent Show Product Recommendations?
  Product recommendations in exit-intent serve a different purpose than discount offers. Instead of reducing price, they expand the visitor's consideration set - helping visitors who could not find what they wanted to discover what they actually need.

When to Use Recommendations vs. Discounts

Exit Reason (Inferred)
          Better Approach

Price sensitivity (long time on page, no add to cart)
          Discount offer

Browsed multiple categories, did not find fit
          Curated product recommendations

Viewed one product, left quickly
          Similar product alternatives

Cart abandonment on specific item
          Discount on that item or category

Recommendation Exit-Intent Design Tips
  
    Show 2-3 products maximum to avoid decision paralysis
    Use product images prominently - visuals drive clicks
    Base recommendations on the category or products the visitor viewed
    Include price and a direct "Shop Now" link for each recommended item
