Targeting and scheduling

Choosing which pages a drawer shows on, on which devices, and between which dates.

By default a drawer shows on every page, on every device, all the time. A drawer’s Targeting tab narrows that, and every condition is optional. Targeting and scheduling are on Basic and Pro. On Free, your one drawer shows on your home page, the page most shoppers see first.

The tab opens with one plain sentence saying where the drawer shows, like “Product pages except /products/gift-card · Mobile only”, so you can check it at a glance.

Where it shows

Show on takes page types, URLs, or both, and a drawer shows on any page that matches one of them. “Product pages and /collections/summer” means every product page, plus that one collection.

• Page types: home, product, collection, cart, search, blog, article, pages, account and the 404 page.
• URLs: a path like /collections/summer, with * at the end to cover everything under it (/collections/summer*), or at both ends to match any path containing a word (*summer*).

Except leaves pages out, the same two ways, and it always wins. “Product pages except /products/gift-card” shows on every product page but that one.

URL matching ignores capital letters, works across your store’s language and market folders (so /collections/summer also matches /fr/collections/summer), and matches a product whether it was opened on its own or from a collection. Paste a full address and the app keeps just the path.

A drawer never shows on your password, login, account sign-up or password reset pages, whatever it targets.

Who sees it

Device: mobile, desktop, or both. The split is the width of the shopper’s screen, 750 pixels, the same point where most themes switch layout. It’s measured in the browser, so a desktop window dragged narrow counts as mobile, which matches what the layout is doing.

When it shows

A drawer can have a start, an end, or both. Times are in your store’s time zone, wherever the shopper is, and stay right across daylight saving time on both sides of the change.

The drawers list shows each drawer’s dates as it goes, like “Starts Jan 1, 2027” or “Showing until Dec 31”. A countdown card can count down to the end of its drawer’s schedule, so the timer and the sale end together; see Card types.

When more than one drawer fits

Only one drawer shows per page. Two drawers competing for the same corner is worse than either alone, so the app picks one: the highest in your Drawers list that fits the page, the device and the schedule. Reorder the list to change the priority.

You can have up to 20 drawers on Pro. The one detail worth knowing with many: as your page is built, the app narrows your drawers to those that fit the page and sends at most the first six, in list order. Device and schedule are checked after that, in the shopper’s browser. So if seven drawers fit your product pages and the only one for mobile sits seventh, phones get no drawer there. Move it up the list.

What isn’t here

Targeting by customer (logged in or not), new or returning visitor, traffic source or country is not offered. Each needs things the app doesn’t do yet, and a setting that silently does nothing would be worse than none.
