✅ Step 1: Go to the Hoppy Announcement Bar App

1️⃣ Open your Shopify admin.

  • From the left sidebar, click Apps and select Hoppy Announcement Bar.

✅ Step 2: Create the Announcement Bar

2️⃣ In the Content tab, choose the Announcement type- Multiple rotating announcements.

3️⃣ Now, scroll down to the Announcement Content section located just below, and fill in the Announcement Content.

  • Announcement Name: Enter a name to help you identify this bar (e.g., Spring Promo Bar).

  • Display Duration: Use the slider to set how long each message displays (e.g., 5 seconds per slide).

  • Title: Add your main announcement message (e.g., Enjoy 20% Off All Products!).

  • Sub-heading: Add your supporting message or extra details (e.g., Limited time only or Offer valid till Sunday).

  • Call to Action (CTA):
    Choose one of the following from the dropdown:

    • No Call to Action

    • Button 🔘

    • Make Entire Bar Clickable 🖱️

  • Link Field: Add the URL where you want customers to be directed. This will activate when they click the button or the entire bar (based on your CTA setting).

4️⃣ Similarly, add the content for the second announcement bar using the same steps. To add more announcements, click on ‘Add New Announcement’. Each announcement will appear one after another, based on the display duration you set for them.

  • Close Icon Option: Check the box to let customers dismiss the bar by clicking a close (❌) icon.

5️⃣ Set Start & End Date for the announcement bar

✅ Step 3: Customize the Appearance of the Announcement Bar

6️⃣ Navigate to the Design tab to style your bar:

  • Template: Choose a design template from the dropdown.

  • Visibility: Select where the bar should appear:

    • Desktop & Mobile

    • Desktop Only

    • Mobile Only

  • Background & Border:

    • Pick a background color.

    • Customize the border style.

  • Typography:

    • Adjust the font, text color, and size of the title and subheading.

  • Button Design (only if you chose Button under CTA):

    • Modify button text color, size, background, style (from dropdown), and font.

    • Choose an animation style to make your button stand out.

  • Close Icon Color: Set the color of the close (❌) icon.

💡 Tip: Use the up/down keys to fine-tune sizes in the size box. Click on the color box to pick custom colors.

Step 4: Choose the Placement of the Announcement Bar

7️⃣ Choose where you want the announcement bar to be displayed. Here, you will see three options at the top:

  • Time-on-Site Targeting ⏳ – Choose from the dropdown to either "Always Show" or "Show After a While" when a visitor arrives on your website.

  • Select a Display Position 📍 – Choose where to display the announcement bar on your website from the dropdown.

  • Select Pages to Display the Bar 📄 – Choose which pages should show the announcement bar using the dropdown.

✅ Step 5: Publish and Verify the Announcement Bar.
