How can I add date and time to my homepage with special font?

Topic summary

Goal: Show current date and time on the homepage, ideally in each visitor’s timezone, and use a special font.

Context and references: The poster shared preview/live store links and an image. A helper asked for a demo showing date/time and reviewed an example.

Feasibility: One reply noted the example’s date/time is a custom setup; showing it per user’s location would require custom (hard-coded) implementation. The poster briefly considered not proceeding.

Implementation lead: Another reply suggested using Liquid’s date filter as a starting point: {{ “now” | date: “%Y-%m-%d %H:%M” }}, with references to Shopify’s Liquid date formatting docs. No concrete steps were provided for applying a special font.

Status: No finalized solution. The poster will explore the Liquid approach, and handling visitor-specific timezones remains unresolved.

Hi, i am wondering if there is any way of adding the date and time to the home page? I have searched for very long, but nothing to find out there. I have seen some stores that have it. I would also like to have a special font, is that possible? Thanks!

Hello @olivervestlund

Would you like to show the time and date according to your time zone ? Can you share the demo site ?

Thanks

For the given site the date and time is a customer setup. So to setup for users location these needs to be hard coded.

Thanks

Ok, so i might just not do it haha :slightly_smiling_face:

You can try using liquid date filter:
{{ “now” | date: “%Y-%m-%d %H:%M” }}

Here’s some references to look into and play with:
