How to add Hero Image 2 to the Impulse theme

A photo, a gradient or a colour behind a heading whose middle word cycles. The rotation is a plain vertical scroll of words the page already holds, so with no script — or for anyone whose device asks for reduced motion — the first word simply stays and the sentence still reads. This guide shows how to add the Hero Image 2 section to the Impulse theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Impulse's code. Impulse is a premium theme by Archetype Themes, known for promotion-driven layouts and sales events — and hero & banners like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Hero Image 2 works on Impulse

First-impression sections: hero layouts, promotional banners and rotating showcases that make visitors stop scrolling. For Impulse specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: even more urgency formats for launches and drops, and Hero Image 2 fills that gap while inheriting Impulse's typography automatically, so it looks native from the first save. Stack an Urgency Split Bar above a Countdown Hero for launches — Impulse’s promo DNA plus a hard deadline.

How to add Hero Image 2 to Impulse, 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 Impulse setup until you add a section.

  2. 2

    Find “Hero Image 2” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Hero & Banners category — or use search.

  3. 3

    Click “Add to theme”

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

  4. 4

    Open the Impulse theme editor

    In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Hero Image 2” in the picker.

  5. 5

    Customize and save

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

Hero Image 2 on Impulse — FAQ

Does Hero Image 2 work with the Impulse theme?

Yes. Impulse is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Hero Image 2 installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Impulse's theme editor as “SShop:Hero Image 2”, alongside the theme's own sections.

Will Hero Image 2 match Impulse's design?

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

Is Hero Image 2 free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Hero Image 2 is free, like every section in the 164-section library. Once added it's a standard theme file: if you uninstall the app, the section stays in your Impulse theme and keeps working.

A sign-up band with an offer: a heading, three perks with a tick, the email field and the button, a photo beside it if you like. Subscribers get the newsletter tag; the thank-you shows in place.

Hero & Banners

A gallery wall: each photograph sits in a mat and a frame, hung in a row that recedes to either side of the one in front. Navigation is a brass plaque with the piece number and a row of tick marks, the way a wall label works. Hangs flat by default, and leans as far as you want it to.

Coverflow 1

Hero & Banners

A leaning deck of cards: one in front, its neighbours fanned out behind and shrinking with distance. Each card carries a signed offset from the centre as a CSS custom property and one transform rule reads it, so moving the deck rewrites numbers rather than markup. Clicking a card behind brings it forward.
