Problem and result
Shopify Announcement Bar: The Message Every Shopper Sees Before the Menu
Shipping offers, sale dates and delivery cut-offs matter most before the shopper starts browsing. A slim bar above the header gets that message in front of every visitor on every page, as long as it is short, readable and does not fight with the menu below it.
Important offers go unseen
Your free shipping threshold or sale date sits on one page that few shoppers open. Visitors browse without knowing about the offer and leave, or ask support questions the bar could have answered.
One clear message on every page
A slim bar above the header carries your offer or notice in your brand colours. It reads cleanly on phones, links to the right page if you want and sits properly with your sticky header.
What is included
What Your Announcement Bar Includes
When you ask for a Shopify announcement bar, you get the bar built into your theme, written and styled with you and tested with your header, so it works from the first day.
Implementation checklist
- Announcement bar section added above the header in your theme
- Message text written or polished with you for length and clarity
- Background and text colours set from your brand palette
- Optional link to a page, collection or product
- Mobile layout that keeps the message on one or two tidy lines
- Bar checked against sticky and transparent headers
- Bar shown on every page or only on the page types you pick
- Handover note showing how to edit the message and colours later
Your theme may already include an announcement bar section. If it does, we tell you before you spend anything, and the task then focuses on wording, styling and the way the bar behaves with your header and on mobile.
See how it works
From No Message to a Bar Every Shopper Sees First
Follow one visit. The shopper lands on the page, reads the offer above the menu and clicks through.

On your go-ahead the announcement bar is published, and you get a short document explaining where everything lives.

What we need to get started
What We Need to Get Add Announcement Bar Started
Start by choosing an access route, then supply the details below for the announcement bar, while the build itself stays in a copy of your theme.
Collaborator access
Invite us from your Shopify admin and we can begin the announcement bar without anyone sharing a password, and you remove us when the work ends.
No store yet? We build it first
If your store does not exist yet, the announcement bar is built inside our Partner account and the whole store moves to you when it is ready.
Prefer to share a login?
You can send staff login details for the announcement bar instead, though we recommend collaborator access because it is easier to revoke.
Your message
Tell us the offer or notice and any link. If you are unsure of the wording, tell us the goal and we will suggest options.
Pages to cover
Tell us whether the bar should appear on every page or only on some page types.
One decision maker
One approver for the announcement bar keeps the feedback in one place and inside the two included rounds.
If the access options for the announcement bar feel unclear, ask in the short form after checkout and we will walk you through the right one.
