A holographic banner for a launch or a restock, running either as a countdown to a scheduled drop or as a pulsing live badge for one already open. The drop name is rendered as a holographic wordmark with a plain-colour fallback, so it is never invisible on an older browser. This guide shows how to add the Countdown Drop 1 section to the Sense theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Sense's code. Sense is a free theme by Shopify, known for soft gradients, rounded cards, wellness-brand energy — and countdown timers like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Countdown Drop 1 fits Sense

Deadline-driven sections for launches, drops and sales — hero countdowns, boxed timers and product-launch layouts. On Sense, Countdown Drop 1 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 Sense'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 Sense setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Countdown Drop 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 Sense theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Sense uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Sense theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Countdown Drop 1” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Sense font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Countdown Drop 1 work with the Sense theme?

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

### Will Countdown Drop 1 match Sense's design?

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

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

Countdown Drop 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 Sense theme and keeps working.
