Scrolling text
A band of text, buttons, images and numbers that moves slowly across the screen, like a ticker. It catches the eye without taking much space, which suits launches, offers and logo rows.
Add scrolling text
- In the theme editor, click Add section and choose Scrolling text.
- Add blocks in the order they should pass by: heading, caption, text, buttons, images, icon, stat counter or custom Liquid.
- Set the Speed and Direction.
- Click Save.
Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Speed | How fast it moves, from 1x to 30x. |
| Direction | Left or right. |
| Pause on hover | Stops it when someone points at it, which helps if it contains a link or button. |
| Gap between blocks and Vertical padding | The spacing. |
| Full width | Edge to edge. On by default. |
| Section color scheme | Choose one that stands out from the sections around it. |
| Show on | Mobile, desktop or both. |
Ideas
- A launch countdown in words: “Pre-order now”, a button and the number left in stock.
- Brand logos as image blocks, for a moving logo list.
- Your promises: free delivery, easy returns and secure checkout, separated by icons.
