Announcements (announcement bar)

Announcements add a bar to the top of Shopify customer accounts, separate from your theme’s announcement bar. Use it for closures, sales, or shipping delays.

Each announcement can have a link, and appears on the order details, order list, and profile pages.

Announcement editor

• Basic settings: Announcement name.
• Content: Text and an optional link URL.
• Messages: Click Add message to add up to 10 messages. Drag to reorder them, and set display conditions and a display period for each.
• Example customer: Check which message each customer will see.

How messages are shown

Messages are checked from the top, and only the first message whose conditions match is shown. If you put a message for All customers at the top, the messages below it are never shown. For details, see Target messages.

To show an announcement in customer accounts after you create it, see Show an announcement.
