Real countdown timer with animated urgency border and confetti effects. Split layout with highlighted section, pulse ring animation, and countdown functionality for flash sales. This guide shows how to add the Urgency Split Bar section to the Craft theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Craft's code. Craft is a free theme by Shopify, known for craftsmanship feel, warm minimalism — and announcement bars like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Urgency Split Bar fits Craft

Marquees, tickers and rotating bars that push promotions, shipping thresholds and urgency without touching your theme. On Craft, Urgency Split Bar slots in like any built-in section: it inherits the theme's fonts by default, picks up your color choices in the editor, and lives alongside Craft's own sections in the picker — prefixed "SShop:" so it's easy to spot.

## Steps

1. **Install Section Shop (free)** — Add the app from the Shopify App Store. It's free, carries the Built for Shopify badge, and changes nothing in your Craft setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Urgency Split Bar” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Announcement Bars category — or use search.
3. **Click “Add to theme”** — Section Shop writes the section into your Craft theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Craft uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Craft theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Urgency Split Bar” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Craft font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Urgency Split Bar work with the Craft theme?

Yes. Craft is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Urgency Split Bar installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Craft's theme editor as “SShop:Urgency Split Bar”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Urgency Split Bar match Craft's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Craft's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.

### Is Urgency Split Bar free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Urgency Split Bar is free, like every section in the 56-section library. Once added it's a standard theme file: if you uninstall the app, the section stays in your Craft theme and keeps working.
