How to add Gradient Marquee to the Craft theme

Scrolling marquee with animated gradient backgrounds (sunset, ocean, purple, fire, forest, midnight). Features glow effects, customizable scroll speed, direction control, and pause on hover. This guide shows how to add the Gradient Marquee section to the Craft theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Craft's code. Craft is a free theme by Shopify, known for craftsmanship feel, warm minimalism — and announcement bars like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Gradient Marquee works on Craft

Marquees, tickers and rotating bars that push promotions, shipping thresholds and urgency without touching your theme. On Craft, Gradient Marquee slots in like any built-in section: it inherits the theme's fonts by default, picks up your color choices in the editor, and lives alongside Craft's own sections in the picker — prefixed "SShop:" so it's easy to spot.

How to add Gradient Marquee to Craft, step by step

  1. 1

    Install Section Shop (free)

    Add the app from the Shopify App Store. It's free, carries the Built for Shopify badge, and changes nothing in your Craft setup until you add a section.

  2. 2

    Find “Gradient Marquee” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Announcement Bars category — or use search.

  3. 3

    Click “Add to theme”

    Section Shop writes the section into your Craft theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Craft uses for its own sections.

  4. 4

    Open the Craft theme editor

    In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Gradient Marquee” in the picker.

  5. 5

    Customize and save

    Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Craft font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

Gradient Marquee on Craft — FAQ

Does Gradient Marquee work with the Craft theme?

Yes. Craft is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Gradient Marquee installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Craft's theme editor as “SShop:Gradient Marquee”, alongside the theme's own sections.

Will Gradient Marquee match Craft's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Craft's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.

Is Gradient Marquee free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Gradient Marquee is free, like every section in the 56-section library. Once added it's a standard theme file: if you uninstall the app, the section stays in your Craft theme and keeps working.
