# How to Add Marquee 2 to the Impulse Theme

A holographic drop band for launches and restocks. One glow palette retunes the background, the words and the emblems together, with a Custom option for your own colours. A slow band of light drifts across behind the words, and stops for anyone who asks for reduced motion. This guide shows how to add the Marquee 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 announcement bars like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Marquee 2 fits Impulse

Marquees, tickers and rotating bars that push promotions, shipping thresholds and urgency without touching your theme. For Impulse specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: even more urgency formats for launches and drops, and Marquee 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.

## 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 Impulse setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Marquee 2” 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 Impulse theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Impulse uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Impulse theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Marquee 2” in the picker.
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.

## FAQ

### Does Marquee 2 work with the Impulse theme?

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

### Will Marquee 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 Marquee 2 free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Marquee 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.
