Live Events Block

The component that shows live events on your live shopping page. Customers find upcoming and currently running broadcasts here.

MaxxShow creates the live shopping page, but you add the component once by hand. Store theme mechanics do not allow injecting it at install time. This is step 2 of the setup checklist.

  1. Click Go to the Theme Editor on step 2 of the setup checklist. It lands you on the live shopping page.
  2. Add the Live Events Block to the page.
  3. Adjust the styling below as needed.
  4. Save the theme.

MaxxShow detects it and ticks that checklist step.

The Live Events Block settings in the theme editor

The component shows events you have set to display, both upcoming and live. Events with display off never appear. See Reorder events and replays.

Every card carries a title, date and time, and description. Beyond that, cards change with state:

  • Not started — the cover image plus a countdown, with a subscribe button at the bottom. Customers leave an email and hear when you go on air.
  • Live now — the cover switches to the live feed with a live marker, and the button takes them into the room.

An event in testing looks the same to customers as one that has not started.

The theme editor controls how the component looks:

  • The block itselfPadding Top and Padding Bottom, Background color, Border color, Border Radius, and Force whole page width.
  • Card contentsCard text color, Button color, Button text color, and Icons color.

Colors take hex values directly.
