Interactive carousel with JavaScript controls, Ken Burns zoom effect, progress bar, dot indicators, navigation arrows, and touch support. Features autoplay, glass/solid/outline buttons, and smooth slide transitions. This guide shows how to add the Rotating Carousel 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 Rotating Carousel Banner fits Motion

First-impression sections: hero layouts, promotional banners and rotating showcases that make visitors stop scrolling. On Motion, Rotating Carousel 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 “Rotating Carousel 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:Carousel 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 Rotating Carousel Banner work with the Motion theme?

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

### Will Rotating Carousel 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 Rotating Carousel Banner free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Rotating Carousel 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.
