Slideshow
Theme section
Theme retirement | Context is no longer available on the Shopify theme store. Theme support and updates for current users will end after May 18, 2024. Learn more here.
The Slideshow displays auto-rotating slides to showcase your product images. You can fine-tune how your images look, all slide headings and colors, and add a mobile-specific image for the best experience across all devices.
Set up section
Add this section to any template (except Checkout) and use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order its position. You can add this section multiple times with different content and settings.
Editing a template changes all pages that use that template. To edit specific pages, you can create new templates or insert dynamic content with metafields.
Add image slides
Add up to 8 slides with unique images, headings, buttons, and custom colors.
Add slide headings
Add headings for your slides and change the text size and position.
Add call-to-action buttons
Link to your collections or products or any other page with a call-to-action button. Add Button text to display a button or leave this field blank to make the entire block a clickable link.
Slideshow height (image cropping)
You can choose to display slides with the Original height of your uploaded images (without cropping) or set a Custom height for all slides (with cropping).
Slide autoplay
By default, multiple slides will auto-rotate. You can change the time between slides from 2 to 10 seconds. Set the slider to 0 seconds to turn off autoplay.
**Tip |** Turning off autoplay can make your online store accessible to more customers, including people with disabilities. Learn more about [accessibility for themes](Accessibility ) to help make the web inclusive and usable for everyone.
Enable parallax
The Parallax makes it look like the image and text have depth as customers scroll.
