Edit Bar Widget

The editor features a top bar with tabs for customizing different widget elements. Below the bar is a side panel with the settings that change based on the selected tab. The Preview area features a device switch (Desktop/Mobile view) to show how the widget will appear in your store across different screen sizes and devices.

When you first open the editor, you’ll see a notification asking you to activate the app. You need to do this to ensure the bar displays in your theme. Once you activate the app, the notification disappears.

The tabs in the top bar are as follows:

General

In this tab, you adjust the type of bar and its position on the page, choose the fonts to further use in the widget’s components, and adjust the mobile breakpoint, i.e. the screen size where the widget’s design changes from desktop to mobile layout.

Note that if you choose to use theme fonts in the widget, the actual fonts won’t appear in the widget preview. They will only be visible in the theme editor.

Here, you can also choose a default preset for your timer widget. Presets define the overall appearance of the widget (components, background, typography, colors, etc.). Use presets as they are, or customize them to your taste.

Content

In this tab, you adjust the layout, background, borders, corners, close button, and spacing of the widget. You can also hide and rearrange the widget’s components (Text, Timer, Coupon, and Button) and adjust their appearance (fonts, colors, extra elements).

Timer

In this tab, you choose the timer mode: Fixed date, Evergreen, or Daily.

Targeting

In this tab, you choose on which pages of your store to show the widget. After that, the widget will appear on these pages once activated in the theme. Note that for the selected product and collection pages, you need to choose the products or collections from your store’s admin. And for the tagged product pages — enter the needed product tags and separate each one with a comma. Learn more about using tags in Shopify.

Localization

In this tab, you translate the widget content into other published store languages. You can translate the text, time unit labels, button label, and coupon label. You can also set different button URLs and send customers to different pages based on the language.

Notes:

• this tab is hidden until you add and publish at least one additional language in your store

• if you do not add translations, the widget displays content in your store’s default language
