Add a timer to collection pages or the password page

Applies to: TreStack Timer
Updated: 5 November 2026

A landing page timer sits at the top of the page content on your collection pages, or on your password page. Like a bar, it can carry a button.

Set it up

1. Check that the app embed is on. The app Home shows its status, with a button that opens the theme editor at App embeds.
2. Create a timer and pick the landing page type.
3. On the Content tab, write the text, set the countdown and choose what happens once it ends.
4. For a call to action, add a button, which links to your home page by default, or make the whole bar clickable.
5. On the Design tab, pick a preset and adjust it in the live preview.
6. On the Placement tab, choose where it shows: all collection pages, chosen collections, the password page, or a custom position. Choose this first, because changing the placement clears the collections and exclusions chosen for the old one.
7. With all collection pages, exclude the collections that should not show it. With chosen collections, add them from the Shopify picker.
8. Choose Publish.

Check it on your store

Open a collection the timer targets, in a normal browser window and on a phone: the timer sits at the top of the page content. Then open a collection it does not target. For the password page, open your store in a private window while the password is on.

Good to know

• One landing timer per page. A timer on chosen collections beats an all collections timer on the same page.
• Somewhere else on the page? Choose Custom position. The Add app block button then opens the theme editor on a collection page, as in Place a timer anywhere with an app block.

Every landing placement and the priority rules are in Placement, countries, and translations.
