Product timers

A product timer can show on all products, with products you exclude, on products you choose, on every product in the collections you choose, or on products with the tags you give, from Growth. Tag matching ignores capital letters. Custom position shows it only where you place the app block.

One product timer shows per product page. When several match, a tag timer beats a chosen products timer, which beats a collections timer, which beats an all products timer. Between two of the same kind, the older timer wins.

Top and bottom bars

A bar can show on every page, on the home page only, on all product pages, on products you choose, on products in collections you choose, on all collection pages, on collection pages you choose, or in a custom position. One bar shows per page.

Every page can exclude page types: the home page, collection pages, product pages, blogs, blog posts, the cart, search, and the 404 page. It can also exclude by URL, where the bar hides on any page whose address contains the text, and by keyword, where the keyword has to be a whole part of the path. The keyword sale hides the bar on /collections/sale but not on /collections/summer-sale.

Landing page timers

A landing timer shows at the top of all collection pages, with collections you exclude, on collections you choose, on the password page, or in a custom position. A timer on chosen collections beats an all collections timer on the same page. Changing any timer placement clears the products, collections, and exclusions chosen for the old one, so pick the placement first.

Countries and translations

From Growth, a timer can show only to visitors in the countries you choose. The country comes from Shopify, not from a lookup service of ours. A timer set to all the world steps aside for visitors in a country that has its own timer of the same type and placement, so one country can get its own version of a sale.

Also from Growth, timer text can be written for each of your store languages. Shoppers see their language, then your store default language where a translation is missing.

Targeting a timer, in four steps.

Choose the placement

Placement tab. Choose it before anything else, because changing it clears the lists under it.

Add products, collections, or exclusions

Products and collections come from the Shopify picker. Page exclusions sit behind Exclude specific pages.

Set the countries

All the world, or specific countries from Growth. Search the list by name or code.

Translate the text

From Growth. Fill the languages you sell in. Empty ones fall back to your default language.

Settings reference

Product placement

All products, chosen products, products in chosen collections, product tags from Growth, or custom position.

Bar placement

Every page, home only, all products, chosen products, products in collections, all or chosen collection pages, or custom position.

Landing placement

All collection pages, chosen collections, the password page, or custom position.

URL exclusion

Hides the bar on any page whose address contains the text. One per line.

Keyword exclusion

Matches a whole part of the path, so sale matches /collections/sale only.

Priority

One product timer, one bar, and one landing timer per page. Specific placements beat general ones, and the older timer wins a tie.

Countries

From Growth. The country comes from Shopify. An all the world timer steps aside where a country timer applies.

Translations

From Growth. Text per store language, falling back to your default language.
