A Valentine's countdown band with hearts rising slowly behind the wording. The hearts are CSS shapes rather than an image, so they cost no request and take their colour from the band. Carries the same clock, offer line, button and tap-to-copy code. This guide shows how to add the Countdown Sale 3 section to the Motion theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Motion's code. Motion is a premium theme by Archetype Themes, known for animation and video-first product pages — and countdown timers like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Countdown Sale 3 fits Motion

Deadline-driven sections for launches, drops and sales — hero countdowns, boxed timers and product-launch layouts. On Motion, Countdown Sale 3 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 Motion'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 Motion setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Countdown Sale 3” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Countdown Timers category — or use search.
3. **Click “Add to theme”** — Section Shop writes the section into your Motion theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Motion uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Motion theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Countdown Sale 3” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Motion font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Countdown Sale 3 work with the Motion theme?

Yes. Motion is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Countdown Sale 3 installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Motion's theme editor as “SShop:Countdown Sale 3”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Countdown Sale 3 match Motion's design?

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

### Is Countdown Sale 3 free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Countdown Sale 3 is free, like every section in the 164-section library. Once added it's a standard theme file: if you uninstall the app, the section stays in your Motion theme and keeps working.
