See every featureYour blog already holds your store news. News Ticker shows it on every page automatically: publish a post and it appears in the ticker. Scroll headlines, rotate them one at a time or keep them still. Add your own announcements with links. Match your theme with text size, separators, a coloured label and your own colours, then pick the position, pages and devices.
Wave Bar puts an announcement bar across the top of your storefront in about a minute. Show one message, or write up to three and they rotate on a timer you set. Add a link, pick your colours and fonts, and choose whether shoppers can close it. Add a countdown when the deadline is the point.
