Announcement bar

The announcement bar is a place where you can advertise store specials. It's a thin bar of text that sits above the site header on all pages. Here are the options for configuring it.

Show announcement bar

Check this box to show the announcement bar. If you don't want to show any announcement, just uncheck this box.

Text

The copy that you want to display in the announcement bar. Keep it short and sweet.

Link

This is optional. An example use case: you are announcing a new product for sale, you could add the link to that product here.

Background

Choose a background for the announcement bar. If you don't want it to be a gradient, choose the same color as both options for the gradient, and that will create a solid color.
