Create a flash-sale page with accurate timing
A short window sale is going live, and without a stated timezone shoppers in other regions see the wrong countdown. In this case, the immediate task is to create a flash-sale page with accurate timing. The workflow should produce a page draft that states the window with its timezone, names excluded items and defines what the page shows once it closes.

ai-prompt.txt
Act as a Shopify operations specialist.
Help me create a flash-sale page with accurate timing.
My store context is [describe the business, products and target audience].
My scope is [specify the affected products, pages, customers or reporting period]. Use these inputs: [promotion terms, eligible items with stock levels, start and end times with their stated timezone, campaign assets, and the defined closed page state].
Draft the page so the window is stated with its timezone and the countdown runs on that timezone, eligibility and excluded items are named beside the offer, and the closed state, including how sold-out items display once the window ends, is defined in the draft itself.
Return a campaign-page draft with a launch checklist for the specified task.
Show the relevant evidence or before-and-after examples and explain how I can verify the result.
If essential data is missing, ask for it and mark unsupported conclusions as unknown.
Do not invent metrics, product claims or customer facts.
For any publication, message, account or store change, use only connected tools within my explicitly authorized scope and report success only after verification; otherwise provide the draft or proposed steps.How to solve

Deliver the page draft with a launch checklist, verify the stated window, timezone and eligible items against the supplied records, and confirm the countdown, the closed-state switch and the sold-out display all trigger on the recorded times.
FAQ
Common questions when running this scenario
Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.
How is the timezone handled for shoppers abroad?
The window is stated with its timezone and the countdown is computed from that timezone, so local clocks never rewrite the deadline. Shoppers in other regions otherwise see a countdown that ends at the wrong moment. If local times are shown, both zones appear with the recorded one authoritative.
What does the page show after the window closes?
The predefined closed state: the offer is removed and the window is shown as ended. A live countdown or offer after the recorded close sells terms that no longer exist. The switch is tested against the recorded end time before launch.
How are sold-out items handled mid-window?
They display as sold out instead of remaining purchasable and failing at checkout. Failed checkouts during a peak window damage trust faster than a missing product. The rule is set in the draft and checked against the stock feed during the window.
