Adding announcement bar to Shopify

Online Store → Themes → Customize → Announcement Bar

Most Shopify themes support a built-in announcement bar.

 

Steps:

  1. Log into your Shopify admin
    Go to shopify.com and sign in.
  2. Go to Online Store Themes
  3. Click “Customize” next to your live theme
  4. Find the Announcement Bar section
    • Usually found in the header or top area of the theme.
    • If not visible, click “Add Section” → Select “Announcement Bar”.
  1. Edit your banner text and optional link
    E.g. “Free EU shipping — no extra charges at delivery!”
  2. Change background/text colour (optional)
    Make sure it's visible and matches your brand.
  3. Save your changes

🔧 Optional: If your theme does not have an announcement bar, install a free app like:
