The Stackframes announcement marquee is a free Shopify section that scrolls several short messages across a slim bar, such as free shipping, returns or new arrivals. Each message can link somewhere. The loop is pure CSS and pauses on hover, keyboard focus or a pause button. Shoppers who prefer reduced motion see a static row instead.

Live preview with sample content. Once installed, fonts follow your theme and colours are editable in the theme editor.

/03 QUESTIONS

Common questions

Can I use this instead of my theme's announcement bar?

Yes. Add it to the header group in the theme editor and hide your theme's own announcement bar so shoppers only see one.

How do I slow the scroll down?

Increase "Loop duration" in the section settings. Higher values scroll more slowly.

Is scrolling text accessible?

Moving content needs a way to stop it, so the bar has a pause button and also pauses on hover and keyboard focus. Shoppers with reduced motion enabled see the messages without movement.
