How it sells itself

Grab attention with on-brand announcement bars. Choose five bar types — simple, rotating, news ticker, typewriter, and countdown — to run sales, free-shipping offers, and news on any page. Countdown timers add urgency with flip-clock, box, or circle styles, then show a fallback message when time runs out. Schedule bars ahead, target them by page, and show different messages per market or language.

Use ready-made templates for sales, holidays campaigns, flash sales, and product launches. Customize text, colors, buttons, and dates, preview changes live, then publish directly to your Shopify theme in a few clicks.
