A photograph or video beside an offer panel, with the clock drawn as a torn ticket. The ticket's notches are painted in the colour that sits behind the card, so they read as punched holes rather than grey circles. A YouTube or Vimeo video is not embedded until a shopper actually presses play. This guide shows how to add the Countdown Media 1 section to the Origin theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Origin's code. Origin is a free theme by Shopify, known for bold type and product-first structure — and countdown timers like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Countdown Media 1 fits Origin

Deadline-driven sections for launches, drops and sales — hero countdowns, boxed timers and product-launch layouts. For Origin specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: needs stronger urgency and promotion sections, and Countdown Media 1 fills that gap while inheriting Origin's typography automatically, so it looks native from the first save. Origin’s bold type pairs well with a stock ticker or marquee announcement — movement on top, specs below.

## 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 Origin setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Countdown Media 1” 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 Origin theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Origin uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Origin theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Countdown Media 1” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Origin font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Countdown Media 1 work with the Origin theme?

Yes. Origin is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Countdown Media 1 installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Origin's theme editor as “SShop:Countdown Media 1”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Countdown Media 1 match Origin's design?

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

### Is Countdown Media 1 free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Countdown Media 1 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 Origin theme and keeps working.
