What is an announcement bar?

An announcement bar is a short snippet where you can showcase a message to your site. Using an announcement bar on your website is one of the easiest ways to draw visitors' attention.

You might add an announcement bar to highlight the following information:

  • shipping information,

  • new stock alerts,

  • any promotions, such as sales or new gift cards, etc.

How to set up an announcement bar?

  2. Locate Announcement Bar

You can control how the bar displays by ticking/unticking the checkboxes.

  • Show close button: Activate the X button on the right-hand side of the bar.

Carousel Settings

  • Enable carousel: Activate the whirler function.

  • Auto-rotate messages: Activate auto-scroll messages (when there are 2 messages or more) across the browser or device.

  • Change message every (second): Determine the rotating message's speed.

Text Announcement

Steps:

  1. Locate Announcement Bar.

  2. Click Add Announcement.
