Excerpt

This page links to all banner-related documentation.

Banners are larger-sized image ads placed on pages or templates. On the Home Page for example, you may want to draw attention to a promotiional campaign, new products, or communicate important changed shipping conditions. A banner can also be a hero image, e.g., to present a visual summary of products on a category page or an overview of a blog or article.


Banners are usually displayed above the fold, in the centre, or may even take up most of the page. A banner is usually an image and can include text and links to other pages on your site or external websites. It can be a single image or a series of images in a slideshow format (also called an image carousel ). Adding video banners can be implemented with Commerce Vision consultation.
