Slideshow, marquee and carousel sections for Shopify

Sections that move: a full-width slideshow, a seamless logo marquee, a ticker strip, cards you flick through and a gallery that travels sideways as the page scrolls.

Movement draws the eye, which is why it works best in small doses. An infinite marquee is the classic place to show press logos, stockists or a line of short promises without taking up a whole section. The ticker strip runs short updates past in a single line.

For bigger moments, the slideshow runs full-width slides with fade, slide, Ken Burns or card transitions, and you set how long each one holds. The card stack lets shoppers drag or flick through cards. The scroll-triggered gallery pins in place and moves sideways as the page scrolls down. Automatic motion stops for shoppers whose device asks for reduced motion.

How to add a Panely section to your Shopify store

  1. Install Panely from the Shopify App Store. It works with Online Store 2.0 themes, and your theme files are never edited.
  2. Pick a section and press Add. Choose a design, and change the settings in the editor with a live preview beside them. You get a short section code.
  3. Place it once. In the theme editor, add the Panely block where you want the section, and paste the code into its Section code field.
  4. Edit any time. Change the section in Panely and save. Your store shows the change on its next page load, with nothing to paste again.

Each Add is its own copy with its own settings, so you can use the same section on as many pages as you like. Panely must stay installed for its sections to show. If you uninstall, they disappear, and your theme is left exactly as it was.

Questions about motion & carousel sections

How do I add a scrolling logo bar to Shopify?

Add the Infinite Marquee section in Panely, choose the Logos design and add your logo images, each with an optional link. It loops without a visible seam, in whichever direction you choose.

Can I control slideshow timing?

Yes. Set how many seconds each slide holds, choose the transition, and add arrows, dots or both so shoppers can move between slides themselves.

Add these sections to your store
