Unlike other timer widgets, the Bar widget is an app embed. To use the bar, you need to first activate it in the theme. Learn how to manage app embeds in Shopify.

Note that app embeds can be used with any theme version, including vintage themes.

Activate bar widget in a theme

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
