### 🧭 Overview

The **Clock** setting displays a real-time digital clock on specific layouts like the Center Menu. It syncs with the selected timezone and updates live on your storefront, adding a dynamic and global feel to your store.

> 💡 This feature works best when paired with layouts where time or regional relevance is important (like product drops or localized campaigns).

***

### 🔧 How to Enable and Set Time

1. Go to **Theme Settings** > **Clock Settings**
2. Choose your timezone using the **Pick A Timezone** dropdown
   * Options include global zones like `America/New_York`, `Europe/London`, `Asia/Tokyo`, etc.
3. (Optional) Set a **Time Offset** in minutes:
   * Use a positive number to show the time ahead
   * Use a negative number to show the time behind

> 💡 Offsets are helpful for syncing the clock display to brand launches or regional adjustments.

### 🌍 Timezone Support

The timezone selector includes hundreds of options grouped by continent and region (e.g., `America/Los_Angeles`, `Asia/Seoul`, `Europe/Berlin`).

Use this to:

* Match your brand’s local time
* Display local time for an international audience
* Coordinate global launches, countdowns, or promos

***

### 📌 Notes

* The Clock is only visible on templates or sections that support it (e.g., **Center Menu**, **Side-Aligned Menu** if enabled)
* Time is displayed in **12-hour format** with real-time updates

> ⚠️ If the clock doesn’t appear, double-check that your chosen layout includes it and that it's not hidden by custom code.
