2. Step 2 – Access & Message: Date & time → ‘After date/time → Visible from’ → set to Tonight at 8:00 PM, then tick ‘Use clock countdown’.

6. Save the modal, then click Save in the Contextual Save Bar.

Result: Customers see the red countdown and come back when the sale opens: creates urgency and boosts traffic at launch.

Note

Example 3: Early Access Opening (Preview Collection)

1. Add lock rule → Step 1: select the Preview collection.
2. Step 2 – Access & Message: Date & time → ‘After date/time → Visible from’ → set to the early access start time, then tick ‘Use clock countdown’.
3. Preview card → Customize message.
4. Message: ‘Early access opens in {timer}’
5. Design: Brand colors, clean centered layout.
6. Save the modal, then click Save in the Contextual Save Bar.

Result: Visitors see how long until early access opens. Once the start time passes, every visitor can open the collection, because the rule has only a Date & time condition. To limit access to VIP customers, add a customer tag condition to the same rule.
