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 Motion theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Motion's code. Motion is a premium theme by Archetype Themes, known for animation and video-first product pages — and announcement bars like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Marquee 2 fits Motion

Marquees, tickers and rotating bars that push promotions, shipping thresholds and urgency without touching your theme. For Motion specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: video testimonials and ugc-style proof, and Marquee 2 fills that gap while inheriting Motion's typography automatically, so it looks native from the first save. Video Testimonials next to Motion’s animated sections keeps the whole page moving without feeling chaotic.

## 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 Motion 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 Motion theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Motion uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Motion 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 Motion 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 Motion theme?

Yes. Motion 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 Motion's theme editor as “SShop:Marquee 2”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Marquee 2 match Motion's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Motion'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 Motion theme and keeps working.
