Section tutorials

Promo banner

Create a large promotional banner with an image or hosted video and editable content blocks.

Where to find it

In Online Store → Themes, open the unpublished theme editor, choose a compatible template, then Add section → Promo banner. Availability follows the selected template and section group.

This section is not available in the Header group.

Set it up

  1. Choose Media type. Select Desktop image and optional Mobile image, or choose a Shopify-hosted Video.
  2. Set desktop and mobile heights and media positions before placing text.
  3. Add Heading, Text, Button or other supported content blocks. Promotion badge, Countdown and Promo code blocks are available for genuine offers.
  4. Set Desktop position, Mobile position and Content width. Adjust overlay and card opacity to keep content readable.
  5. Open every button in preview and verify any advertised discount or deadline separately in Shopify.

Blocks and content

The following content blocks have their own setup and control reference. Nested blocks belong inside their parent, such as Slide, Tab, Tile or Story chapter.

App content requires a compatible installed app. Its setup and support come from that app; the theme does not supply the app service.

Content and media

  • For a full-width desktop banner, an original around 2000–2400 px wide is a useful starting point. Use a separately composed portrait mobile image when the subject would otherwise crop badly.
  • Keep headings and buttons as editable blocks. Promo code displays a code; it does not create the discount. There is no promotion-progress block in this version.

Check the mobile layout

  • Use the mobile height, media position, content position and content padding controls together. Check text does not cover the main subject.

Common questions and fixes

  • The photo is selected but text is absent: add child content blocks.
  • The wrong media appears: check Media type and the corresponding image/video field.
  • A code does not discount checkout: create and validate the actual code in Shopify.

Full control reference

Names, choices, ranges and defaults below are read from this version of the theme. Defaults are starting examples, not promises about your business. Some controls appear only for the matching layout. Block contents and preset starting values can differ from the base defaults.
