Slideshow
Theme section
The Slideshow displays up to 5 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 5 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.
Turning off autoplay can make your online store accessible to more customers, including people with disabilities. Learn more about accessibility for themes to help make the web inclusive and usable for everyone.
