How do I change the announcement bar text at the top of my store?
The announcement bar is edited in the theme customizer. See which themes have it, where the field is in each, and what shows when you leave it empty.
In this article
The announcement bar is the thin line at the very top of your store, used for an offer or key info such as "Free shipping" or "10% off with code …". It has no screen of its own: you edit it in the theme customizer.
Themes that have the bar
| Theme | Section in the customizer | Fields |
|---|---|---|
| Velora | «الشريط العلوي» ("Top Bar") | "Show top bar", "Top bar text", "Bar icon" |
| Voltex | «الشريط العلوي» ("Top Bar") | "Show top bar", "Top bar text" |
| Bazaaria | «الشريط العلوي (الإعلان)» ("Announcement Bar") | "Show announcement bar", "Announcement text" |
| ArtWall | «التذييل (Footer)» ("Footer") | "Top announcement" |
The Classic and Farida themes don't have an announcement bar.
Edit the text
- Open «سوق القوالب» ("Marketplace") from the sidebar and click "Customize" on the theme your store uses.
- Open the section listed above for your theme.
- Type your new text, and make sure the show-bar switch is on (on themes that have one).
- Click "Save changes". Shoppers see the change right away — there's no separate publish step.
If you leave the text empty
The bar automatically shows the free-shipping minimum from your store's shipping settings, like this: "Free shipping on orders over …". If you haven't set a free-shipping minimum, the bar shows no text.
Tip: Keep it short (one line on mobile). If it mentions a coupon code, check the coupon is switched on and within its dates before you save.
Note: Notices you see at the top of your dashboard come from the Elmatajer team — they aren't your store's bar.
