Running several timers at once

How many timers one page shows, which timer wins when several match, how app blocks add more, and how several timers share the monthly views.

At a glance
  • Automatic spots: One timer each per page
  • Extra timers: Through app blocks
  • Views: Shared across all timers

What one page shows

In automatic positions, a page shows at most one bar, one product timer, one landing timer, and one cart timer. Timers in app blocks come on top of that, one per block. A timer that an app block already shows on a page is skipped at its automatic spot, so the same timer never appears twice.

When several product timers match a page, a tag timer beats a chosen products timer, which beats a collections timer, which beats an all products timer, and the older timer wins a tie. For landing timers, chosen collections beat all collections. Several product timers in automatic positions on one product page is planned, not built.

Countries

A timer targeted at chosen countries replaces a timer of the same type and placement set to all the world, for visitors in those countries. That is how to run one sale for most of the world and a different one for one market, without either showing twice.

Views are shared

A view is one timer seen by one visitor in a browser session, and the monthly views of a plan are counted per store across all timers. Reloads and other pages in the same session do not count again, but two different timers seen by one visitor count two views, so each extra timer adds to the allowance used. The app Home warns you at 80 percent of the month.

Auditing your timers, in four steps.

List what is published

The timer list in the app, by type. Note the placement of each one.

Check for overlap

Two product timers matching the same product means only one shows. Narrow one of them.

Use blocks for the extras

A second timer on a page goes in an app block with a custom position.

Watch the views

The app Home warns at 80 percent of the month. Unpublish timers that are not earning their place.
