• Time limited offer

If you want to give a specific time for the offer then you can enable/disable it. By enabling it you can set the timer duration for the offer which would be seen by your customers. Also, you can change the placement of the timer title, location of the timer, timer text color, and timer background color.

When the timer runs out you can set any of the options i.e hide widget, show message & disable submit button, hide timer, reset timer.

You can change the text of this button and can change the background color and text color of this button.

• Thank you message

Here you can add the thank you message text.

• Error message

This option allows you to add the error message text.

• Rules

Rules are used to hide/show the birthday collector widget. This option allows you to change your condition based on different parameters like:

Parameter

You can show this widget based on different parameters like cart sum, number of items in the cart, a specific item, a specific collection, product tags, and user location.

Condition

You can set the condition from any of these options: is greater than, is lesser than, or equals.

Value

Here you can enter the value that your customer’s cart must contain.
Now let’s jump into an example to understand how these conditions work.
This Rules option provides you 2 conditions i.e AND, OR.
First will see how AND condition works:
Suppose parameter > cart sum, condition > is greater than, value > 300

AND

Parameter > a specific item, condition > is in the cart, value > shirt
So in this scenario, if both conditions meet the customer’s cart i.e if his cart sum is greater than 300 and one of the items added to his cart is a shirt then the birthday collector widget will be visible to him.
Similarly, it works for other parameters too in AND condition.
Now let’s see how OR condition works:
Suppose parameter > number of items in cart, condition > is greater than, value > 2

OR

Parameter > a specific item, condition > is the only item in the cart, value > shirt
So in this scenario, if any of the conditions meet the customer’s cart i.e if the number of items in his cart is greater than 2 or the shirt is the only item his cart contains then the birthday widget will be visible to him.
