Display conditions control who sees a saved block and when it appears. They do not add the block to the editor.

How this feature works

Cart-content conditions test the supported product/variant/cart inputs on an eligible surface. A qualifying product in the cart is different from a product merely viewed or purchased previously. Profile ignores cart/order conditions.

Before you begin

Checkout-step visual blocks require Shopify Plus. Supported Thank you and Order status blocks are available on Basic and higher. Check the page labels on the block’s Rivio card; a card does not necessarily support every page.

Worked example: Show a message when a preorder item is present

Example setup: Demo Preorder Jacket and an unrelated shirt.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open UI extension blocks and edit a supported Custom banner configuration.

  2. Enter the demonstration message and confirm the target page supports this condition.

  3. Choose the supported cart/product condition and select Demo Preorder Jacket. Use the message Your preorder ships in 2 weeks.

  4. Review all/AND versus any/OR only where the form exposes grouping controls. Use one condition for the first test.

  5. Save as Active and confirm the banner is placed and saved on the exact Shopify editor page.

  6. Run each matching and non-matching case on the actual customer page. Keep cart and customer context constant except for the input being tested.

Verify the result

Test case Expected result or verification
Cart contains jacket The supported cart-page condition matches.
Shirt-only cart The message is hidden.
Profile page Cart/order conditions are ignored there, so do not use Profile for this demonstration.

If the result is different

Check What it means / what to do
Unexpected buyer sees content Review all/AND versus any/OR and the selected condition values.
Customer tag does not match Test with the intended logged-in customer; anonymous checkout may lack tag context.
Condition works on another page only Check the page’s supported inputs; Profile ignores cart/order conditions and Order status lacks selected shipping method.

Check page-specific data

Customer-tag conditions require logged-in customer context. Selected shipping method is unavailable on Order status. Days since order is available only on Thank you/Order status. On Profile, only Customer, Language, Market, and Time on page conditions are evaluated; cart/order conditions are ignored.
