How do I add a custom announcement bar on Shopify Dawn without an app?

Install Custom Announcement Bar and add it to the header group or the template in Customize. You can use it instead of, or alongside, the default Dawn announcement depending on how you arrange the header.

Can I run more than one announcement message?

Yes. Add announcement blocks and turn on rotation if you want them to cycle.

Can I promote free shipping in a Shopify announcement bar?

Yes. Write the free-shipping copy in the editor. Threshold logic still lives in Shopify shipping settings. The bar is the message, not the shipping engine.

Can the announcement bar link to a collection or landing page?

Yes. Set a link on the message so shoppers can tap through to the offer, collection or page.

Does the bar stay sticky while shoppers scroll?

Use the position and style settings in the theme editor. Test with your header so the bar does not hide navigation on small screens.

Can I schedule Shopify announcement messages?

You change copy in the theme editor when a campaign starts or ends. There is no separate marketing calendar inside the section. For timed campaigns, update the bar when the offer goes live.

Is a theme announcement bar better than an announcement app?

For simple messages, rotation and a link, yes. Use an app if you need geo targeting, complex scheduling or A/B dashboards this file does not include.

Will this work with Shopify Markets for different languages?

Theme text can be translated with Translate and Adapt. Markets still control which catalogue and currency the shopper sees.

What is a Shopify section compared with a Shopify app?

A Shopify section (or block) is Liquid and schema that live in your theme. You add it in the theme editor. A Shopify app is a separate install that often injects scripts and charges a monthly fee. Custom Announcement Bar is theme files you own after purchase, not a recurring app.

Will Custom Announcement Bar work with Dawn and other Online Store 2.0 themes?

Yes, if the theme supports Online Store 2.0 sections and blocks. Dawn, Craft, Sense, Refresh and most current Shopify themes do. You add the section in the theme editor on the template you want.

No. Vintage themes do not use the current section and block model the same way. Upgrade to an Online Store 2.0 theme, or ask us for a custom build if you must stay on vintage.

How do I install a Shopify section file I bought?

After we email the files, add the Liquid file in Shopify Admin under Online Store, Themes, Edit code, or push it with Shopify CLI. Then open Customize and insert the section on the template. Install notes are included. Paid install help is separate.

Can developers install this with Shopify CLI and Git?

Yes. Treat it like any theme file. Commit the Liquid to your theme repository, pull it on the development store, then publish through your usual review path. The package is source files, not a locked app embed.

Is this a Theme App Extension or Liquid I own?

You receive Liquid and schema for your theme. It is not a Theme App Extension and not an app embed you lose if a subscription ends. The files stay in the theme you installed them on.

Will this Shopify section slow my store or hurt PageSpeed?

It is theme code only. There is no extra app script injected storewide. Speed still depends on your images, apps and theme. Compared with stacking another app, a native section is the lighter pattern.

You may install them on the licensed store, including work you deliver as an agency. You may not resell the files, list them as your own product, or share them with another merchant who did not buy a license.

One live Shopify store per purchase, plus the usual unpublished or development copies used to build that same store. Extra live stores need another purchase.

Yes. You own the files on the licensed store. A developer can change markup, CSS and schema. Theme updates from the Theme Store can overwrite custom files if you replace the theme, so keep a copy or use Git.

What is the difference between a Shopify section and a Shopify block?

A section is a full row you add to a template. A block sits inside a section, often on the product page next to price or Add to cart. Custom Announcement Bar is a section.

Theme-editor text can be translated with Translate and Adapt like other theme content. Markets, currencies and languages still follow your Shopify setup. The section does not replace Markets configuration.

Will it work on Hydrogen or a headless Shopify storefront?

No. These files are Liquid for Online Store 2.0. Hydrogen and other headless storefronts need a custom implementation. Ask us if you want that built separately.

Does it work in Shopify checkout or Shop Pay?

No. Checkout and Shop Pay are not theme section areas. This section is for storefront templates such as home, collection, product, page or blog, depending on the product.

Is Custom Announcement Bar compatible with cart drawers and product page apps?

It uses the theme editor and standard theme CSS. Most cart drawers still work. A heavy page-builder app or a product-page app that replaces the template can hide theme blocks. Test on a duplicate theme first.

Does a Shopify theme update delete the section?

Updating or replacing a theme from the Theme Store can overwrite custom files. Duplicate the published theme before you install, keep the emailed files, and prefer Git if your team already versions the theme.
