What Is a Banner on Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:41 pm

A banner is an image or piece of text that appears on the homepage of a Shopify store, typically below the main navigation. Banners can be used to showcase featured products, promote special offers, or display important information about your store.

The banner feature in Shopify is very flexible, and there are a few different ways that you can add banners to your store. You can either add banners through the theme settings, or you can add them directly to the code of your theme.

Adding banners through the theme settings is the easiest way to add banners to your store. To do this, simply go to the “Theme Settings” page in your Shopify admin and look for the “Banner” section. From here, you can upload images or enter text for your banner.

PRO TIP: Banners on Shopify can be a great way to promote your products or services, but they can also be a potential security risk. If you are not careful, banners can be used to phish for personal information or infect your computer with malware. Be sure to only click on banner ads from trusted sources, and never enter personal information into a banner ad.

If you want more control over the appearance of your banners, you can add them directly to the code of your theme. This requires a bit more HTML and CSS knowledge, but it gives you the ability to style your banners exactly how you want them to look.

To add a banner to the code of your theme, you first need to find the “banner” section in your theme’s code. This will be different for every theme, so you’ll need to consult your theme’s documentation for help finding it. Once you’ve found the banner section, you can add your own HTML and CSS to it to create a custom banner.

Banners are a great way to showcase products, promote special offers, or display important information on your Shopify store. By adding banners through the theme settings or directly to the code of your theme, you can control exactly how they look and where they appear on your store.
