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 up to 8 slides with unique images, headings, buttons, and custom colors.
Add headings for your slides and change the text size and position.
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.
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).
By default, multiple slides will auto-rotate every 6 seconds. Change the time between slides or disable autoplay to let customers click through announcements manually.
Display each announcement between 2 to 10 seconds. Announcements with more words may need more time for customers to read them.
If you turn off autoplay, customers can click the next / previous arrows to view slides at their own pace.
Tip | 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.
