Problem and result
How to Add a Slideshow to Shopify: More Than One Message at the Top of the Page
A single hero forces you to pick one story. A slideshow lets you lead with the new collection, a best seller and a shipping promise in the same space, provided each slide is clear and the first one loads quickly, since that is the picture every visitor waits for.
One hero cannot carry every message
You have a launch, a best seller and a seasonal sale but only one banner. Where a slideshow exists it is slow, the images are the wrong shape on phones or it advances before anyone can read it.
Slides that are quick, clear and easy to control
Each slide carries a headline and button, the first one appears instantly and the next ones load as needed. Shoppers can pause, use arrows or dots and read at their own speed.
What is included
What Your Homepage Slideshow Includes
When you ask how to add a slideshow to Shopify, you get the slideshow built in your theme with images sized for each screen, controls that work for everyone and a fast first paint.
Implementation checklist
- Slideshow section at the top of your homepage with two to four slides
- Each slide with image, headline, short line and button
- Desktop and mobile images prepared at suitable sizes and compressed
- First slide loaded immediately and later slides lazy-loaded
- Arrows, dots and swipe, with autoplay and a pause control if you want it
- Reduced-motion fallback so visitors see a still first slide
- Text contrast kept readable over every image
- Handover note listing image sizes and how to add or reorder slides
Your theme may already include a slideshow section. If it does, we tell you before you spend anything, and the task then focuses on image sizing, speed, controls and mobile crops. Designing the slide images themselves is a separate creative task.
See how it works
From One Banner to Slides That Carry Several Messages
Follow the build. Your homepage is assembled section by section in a duplicate theme, and the slideshow goes in at step three, with the images sized and the first slide tested for speed before anything goes live.

What we need to get started
What We Need to Get Add Homepage Hero / Product Slideshow Started
To begin the homepage slideshow you only need to pick an access route and answer the points below, and your live store stays untouched until you say go.
Collaborator access
For the homepage slideshow we only need a collaborator request approved in your admin, because that gives us the access the job needs and nothing more.
No store yet? We build it first
With no store yet, we set one up in our Partner account, build the homepage slideshow there and transfer ownership to you, so the only thing left for you is choosing a plan.
Prefer to share a login?
A staff account works for the homepage slideshow if you prefer one, but a collaborator request is simpler to withdraw so it is our first suggestion.
Slide images
Send the images for each slide, ideally wide for desktop and a tighter crop for phones.
Slide content
Share the headline, line and button destination for each slide, or tell us the offers and we will suggest wording.
Order
Tell us which message should lead, since the first slide is the one everyone sees.
When you cannot decide how to give access for the homepage slideshow, tell us in the form that follows checkout and we will choose the simplest route with you.
