Welcome to Product Notices
Automate custom notice banners and store-wide alerts across your storefront. Product Notices by Amethyst Apps is your solution for managing product-specific communication without touching a single line of code. Whether it’s a shipping delay for a specific category or a store-wide holiday announcement, Product Notices automates the process using native platform metadata and modern storefront extensions.No-Code Banners
Add notices to your product pages without editing descriptions or core theme files.
Dynamic Targeting
Display messages for specific products, entire categories, or your whole catalog.
Automated Scheduling
Set start and end dates for seasonal promotions or limited-time warnings.
Priority Logic
Define which message takes precedence when multiple rules apply to one product.
Getting Started
Setting up Product Notices takes less than five minutes. The app works by syncing your rules to a specific data field (Metafield) that your theme then displays.Quick Setup Steps
Install and Enable
Install the app from your platform’s app store. Once inside, ensure the Storefront Extension or Script is enabled in your theme settings.
Create Your First Rule
Navigate to the Notice Rule Manager and click “Create New Rule.” Enter your message (e.g., “Handmade: Ships in 2 weeks”).
Set Your Targeting
Choose whether this notice applies to Specific Products, Categories, or All Products.
Live Sync: When you save a rule, Product Notices instantly updates the product metadata. A background sync runs every 15 minutes to toggle rules on/off based on your schedules.
Understanding Targeting & Priority
Product Notices is designed to handle complex store setups where products might fall under multiple categories.Targeting Options
| Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| Global | Store-wide alerts (e.g., “Holiday Shipping Deadlines”). |
| Category | Category-specific info (e.g., “Final Sale” for the Clearance category). |
| Specific Product | Individual warnings (e.g., “Heavy item: requires freight shipping”). |
How Priority Works
If a product is in a “Clearance” category (Rule A) but is also a “Heavy Item” (Rule B), the Priority Number determines which notice is shown.- Higher numbers win. If Rule B has a priority of 10 and Rule A has a priority of 5, the “Heavy Item” notice will be displayed.
