Display conditions

Target a countdown at specific products, collections, pages, customers, languages, or countries.

Conditions decide which products, pages, and shoppers a countdown applies to. They're at the top of the Display tab, above the display position, and the app marks the section as compulsory — every countdown has at least one condition, and a new one starts with All Products.

Conditions narrow a countdown down to the products, pages, and shoppers it should apply to.

Building a condition

Each row is a sentence: a subject, a comparison, and a value. "Collections is equal to Summer Sale." "Customer tag contains vip."

Click Add another condition for more rows, and the ✕ on a row to remove it.

All conditions or Any condition

Above the rows, Products must match: sets how the rows combine:

• All conditions — every row must be true. Use it to narrow down: this collection and this customer tag.

• Any condition — one true row is enough. Use it to widen: this collection or that collection.

This is the setting that catches people out. Two collections with All conditions matches nothing, because no product is in both. Two collections with Any condition matches products in either — which is almost always what was meant.

What you can match on

Countdowns offer eight condition subjects, in five groups.

Products

Subject	Matches
All Products	Every product. The default, and the one to leave alone for a storewide countdown
Select products	A hand-picked list, chosen from a product picker
Product variants	Specific variants, so a countdown can apply to one size or colour

Collections

Subject	Matches
Collections	One or more collections, chosen from a picker

A collection is the best target for a campaign that will grow: add a product to the collection later and the countdown covers it automatically, with no edit here.

The Collection condition needs one extra file in your theme before it can work. See Enable the Collection condition — the app shows a warning banner in the builder if it's missing.

Pages

Subject	Matches
Page	A page type, or a list of specific URLs

The page types available are Index page, Collection page, Product page, Article page, Blog page, Cart page (including cart drawer), Search page, and Specific pages. Choosing Specific pages lets you paste URLs, in the form your-store.myshopify.com/pages/custom-page1.

When you combine a Page condition with any other condition, use All conditions — otherwise the page rule is satisfied on its own and the other condition never gets to narrow anything.

Customers

Subject	Matches
Customer	Whether the shopper is signed in: Is logged In or Not logged In
Customer tag	A tag on the signed-in customer's account

These read the shopper's own account as their browser sees it. A signed-out visitor has no tags, so a Customer tag condition never matches for them.

Use these for members-only offers, a wholesale timer, or a first-time-buyer message aimed at signed-out visitors.

Language and country

Subject	Matches
Language	The storefront language the shopper is browsing in
Country	The country the app detects for the shopper

Language is the right way to run a different countdown per market alongside translated text — one countdown per language, each with its own wording and its own Language condition.

Country is detected from the shopper's IP address at the time they browse, not from an address on their account. A shopper on a VPN is detected as wherever their VPN exits, so don't attach anything costly to it being exactly right.

Comparisons

Which comparisons you get depends on the subject:

Subject kind	Comparisons
Text values (tags, titles, page URLs, country, language)	is equal to · is not equal to · starts with · ends with · contains · does not contain
Pickers (products, collections, variants)	is equal to · is not equal to
Customer	Is logged In · Not logged In

Worked examples

A timer on one collection

Collections is equal to Summer Sale

A timer on two collections

Products must match: Any condition Collections is equal to Summer Sale Collections is equal to Clearance

A VIP-only delivery promise

Products must match: All conditions All Products Customer tag contains vip

A timer for signed-out visitors only

Products must match: All conditions All Products Customer Not logged In

Checking your conditions

Test both sides: a page that should show the countdown, and one that shouldn't.

For customer conditions, use a private browser window for the signed-out case and a real test customer account for the signed-in one — your own admin session doesn't count as a logged-in storefront customer.
