Hero banners allow you to add a larger banner to create focus in your online store.

General settings

When you are in advanced mode, even more settings are available. In “General settings,” in addition to changing the image, you can also adjust the position of the text above the banner image, rounded corners, banner height (computer and mobile), and visibility.

Parallax effect

By turning on this feature, you can choose between two parallax effects:

  1. Static background when scrolling: The image is static when you scroll, while the text moves. Note that this effect will make the banner image appear larger as it must occupy the entire height of the online store.
  2. Animated text: When you scroll down, the text moves across the image. You can choose whether the text should move up (UP) or down (DOWN).

Gradient heading

Under the advanced settings for “Heading,” you can select “Use gradient color.” This allows you to set two colors for the heading, as well as the angle of the gradient. This can help make the banner more visible.

Banner overlay allows you to add a single-color overlay over the background image and then set its transparency. This means that you can, for example, darken the image so that the text is more visible:
