See every featureStop losing sales to generic messaging. Are you tired of staying up until midnight to manually switch off sale banners? Do you worry that your mobile visitors are seeing a broken layout? Advanced Banner turns your shop into a smart sales machine. Don't just show images, deliver the good message, to the good customer, at the good time.
Shoppers miss offers they can't see. FlexiBar adds an announcement bar to the top or bottom of your store for sales, flash sale countdowns, free shipping messages and coupon codes. Pick a single bar, a scrolling marquee or a slider, and make it sticky so it stays in view. The Selling Bar opens a bundle when tapped: quantity discounts or build-your-own, added to cart in one tap.
