Scrolling Promotion
A continuously scrolling ticker bar with text, images, and links. Configurable speed, direction, and hover pause for promotional messages.
A moving ticker of scrolling text and images — the fastest way to put a time-sensitive message on every page. It's the go-to strip for limited-time offers, free-shipping thresholds, new drops, event countdowns, or press mentions, and it works above or below any section.
How to add
In the Theme Editor, click Add section
Select Scrolling Promotion
Click Add block → Text (or Context image) for each item in the loop
Save
Everything else — text size, speed, gap, direction, colors, and spacing — is adjusted live in the editor.
Good to know
Two block types. A Text block is a message (with an optional inline image and link); a Context image block is a standalone logo, badge, or icon that rides between messages. Mix them freely.
Clean-until-hover images. Turn on Show image on hover so inline images stay hidden and the ticker reads as pure text until a visitor engages.
Separate mobile text. Each Text block has a Mobile text field — use it to swap long desktop copy for something shorter on phones.
Pauses on hover. The ticker stops while a visitor's cursor is over it, so they can read — or click — a message without it scrolling away.
Note: This section animates with the TweenMax (GSAP) library, which can slightly affect store performance. Keep the number of items and images modest.
Best practices
Keep each message to a few punchy words — a ticker rewards brevity over full sentences.
Match Speed to intent: slower for an offer people need to read, faster for a decorative brand loop.
Add a Line divider or a contrasting color scheme to set the strip apart from the sections around it.
