Flash message

The Flash message block creates a sense of urgency by displaying promotional messages with an optional countdown timer. This block is particularly effective for limited-time offers, flash sales, or pre-order deadlines, encouraging customers to make quicker purchasing decisions.

Settings:

  1. Background image: If an image is uploaded, it will be used as the block’s background. If no image is provided, the block will use a background color based on your theme settings.

  2. Icon: Allows merchants to select a decorative icon to display alongside the timer. Examples: Clock, Hourglass, Fire (for urgency), Lightning bolt (for flash sales).

  3. Icon size: Adjusts the size of the selected icon for better visibility.

  4. Text:

  • Heading: Sets the main title for this block. Example: “Limited-Time Offer”, “Deal Ends Soon”, “Pre-Order Closes In”

  • Description: Adds additional context about the sale or promotion. Example: “Hurry! This deal won’t last long.”

  1. Countdown timer:

  • Show countdown timer: If unchecked, only the promotional message will appear without a timer.

  • Countdown end date: Specifies the exact date when the countdown expires.

  • Countdown end time: Defines the exact time the countdown ends. Uses the Shopify store’s timezone settings for accuracy.

  • Hide when countdown reaches zero: Automatically removes the block from the product page when the timer reaches zero. Ensures that expired timers do not clutter the page.

  • Show timer labels: If unchecked, the labels such as Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds will be removed, leaving only numerical values.
