Use the Quotes section to prominently display rotating quotes about your store or products from customers, partners, or the media.

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 quote blocks

Add Quote blocks with quote text, author names, and logo images. You can adjust the font size of the quote text.

If you add more than one quote block, they will autorotate by default. To change the time between quotes or stop quotes from quote blocks from automating, see the Quotes autoplay settings.

Autoplay settings

By default, multiple quotes will auto-rotate every 7 seconds. Change the time between quotes or disable autoplay to let customers click through quotes manually.

Set time between quotes

Display each quote between 3 to 15 seconds. Quotes with more words may need more time for customers to read them.

If you turn off autoplay, the Quotes section displays pagination dots to let customers click through at their own pace.

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.
