What You’ll Learn
How to show a live, real-time clock on your storefront
How to set the timezone and adjust the display using an offset
🧭 Overview
The Clock setting displays a real-time digital clock on specific layouts like the Center Menu. It syncs with the selected timezone and updates live on your storefront, adding a dynamic and global feel to your store.
💡 This feature works best when paired with layouts where time or regional relevance is important (like product drops or localized campaigns).
🔧 How to Enable and Set Time
Go to Theme Settings > Clock Settings
Choose your timezone using the Pick A Timezone dropdown
Options include global zones like
America/New_York,Europe/London,Asia/Tokyo, etc.
(Optional) Set a Time Offset in minutes:
Use a positive number to show the time ahead
Use a negative number to show the time behind
💡 Offsets are helpful for syncing the clock display to brand launches or regional adjustments.
🌍 Timezone Support
The timezone selector includes hundreds of options grouped by continent and region (e.g., America/Los_Angeles, Asia/Seoul, Europe/Berlin).
Use this to:
Match your brand’s local time
Display local time for an international audience
Coordinate global launches, countdowns, or promos
📌 Notes
The Clock is only visible on templates or sections that support it (e.g., Center Menu, Side-Aligned Menu if enabled)
Time is displayed in 12-hour format with real-time updates
⚠️ If the clock doesn’t appear, double-check that your chosen layout includes it and that it's not hidden by custom code.
🧪 Common Use Cases
