What is “Allowed UTM Sources” in the countdown timer, and how do I use it?

The “Allowed UTM Sources” feature lets you control when your countdown timer appears based on where your visitors come from (especially while running ads).

It ensures the bar is shown only to users who land on your store through specific sources like:

💡UTM code is if someone visits your store using a link with a matching UTM source, the countdown timer will show, even if it's not one of the preset platforms.

1️⃣ Open the countdown timer app in your Shopify admin.

2️⃣ Go to the “Placement” tab.

3️⃣ Scroll down to the section titled “Allowed UTM Sources.”

4️⃣ You’ll see a list of platforms with checkboxes (e.g., ✅ Facebook, ✅ Instagram).

5️⃣Select the sources from which you want visitors to come, and the countdown timer will appear.

✅ When someone visits your store from the selected platforms, they’ll see the countdown timer.

❌ If they come from an unselected source, the countdown timer will not show.

💡Example:

If only Facebook, Instagram, and Google are selected, the countdown timer will appear for visitors coming from those platforms (including ads), and stay hidden for others.
