# How to Add Stock Ticker Pro to the Dawn Theme

Stock market style ticker with trend indicators, animated numbers, and flash alerts. Monospace font styling, fixed label section, and smooth scrolling for a professional trading floor look. This guide shows how to add the Stock Ticker Pro section to the Dawn theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Dawn's code. Dawn is a free theme by Shopify, known for speed, minimalism, being the Online Store 2.0 reference — and announcement bars like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Stock Ticker Pro fits Dawn

Marquees, tickers and rotating bars that push promotions, shipping thresholds and urgency without touching your theme. For Dawn specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: no countdown or urgency sections, and Stock Ticker Pro fills that gap while inheriting Dawn's typography automatically, so it looks native from the first save. Dawn’s minimal typography carries over automatically: Section Shop sections inherit your Dawn font settings by default, so added sections look native from the first save.

## Steps

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 Dawn setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Stock Ticker Pro” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Announcement Bars category — or use search.
3. **Click “Add to theme”** — Section Shop writes the section into your Dawn theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Dawn uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Dawn theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Stock Ticker Pro” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Dawn font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Stock Ticker Pro work with the Dawn theme?

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

### Will Stock Ticker Pro match Dawn's design?

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

### Is Stock Ticker Pro free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Stock Ticker Pro 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 Dawn theme and keeps working.
