# How to Add Minimal Text Banner to the Motion Theme

> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/motion/add-minimal-text-banner/ — Section Shop, 56 free native Shopify sections. Install: https://apps.shopify.com/section-shop

Clean typography-focused banner with elegant fade-up animations and optional background effects (pulse, float, shimmer). Features glass/solid/outline button options and subtle animated backgrounds for a refined look. This guide shows how to add the Minimal Text Banner 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 hero & banners like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Minimal Text Banner fits Motion

First-impression sections: hero layouts, promotional banners and rotating showcases that make visitors stop scrolling. On Motion, Minimal Text Banner 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 Motion's own sections in the picker — prefixed "SShop:" so it's easy to spot.

## 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 “Minimal Text Banner” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Hero & Banners 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:Minimal Text Banner” 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 Minimal Text Banner work with the Motion theme?

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

### Will Minimal Text Banner 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 Minimal Text Banner free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Minimal Text Banner 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 Motion theme and keeps working.
