See every featurePick & Animate gives merchants direct control over storefront animations without editing theme code. Merchants use a visual picker to select specific storefront elements, then configure each effect to match their preferred style. They can adjust animation type, direction, speed, size, timing, and other settings, apply effects to selected pages, and turn them on or off from Shopify admin.
Scroll Trigger turns a plain store into an animated shopping experience. Three scroll effects to choose from: a horizontal photo gallery that glides sideways as visitors scroll, an image sequence that plays frame by frame like an Apple product page, and a marquee headline whose letters tumble into place. A three step wizard opens your theme editor with the effect already placed, so setup takes a minute.
