How to add Announcement Bar 2 to the Origin theme

A wide-tracked statement bar. The messages are plain text on purpose, which is what lets the whole bar safely become one link: a message that could contain a link of its own would put an anchor inside an anchor, and browsers quietly tear that apart. Letter spacing is what gives the bar its look. This guide shows how to add the Announcement Bar 2 section to the Origin theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Origin's code. Origin is a free theme by Shopify, known for bold type and product-first structure — and announcement bars like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Announcement Bar 2 works on Origin

Marquees, tickers and rotating bars that push promotions, shipping thresholds and urgency without touching your theme. For Origin specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: needs stronger urgency and promotion sections, and Announcement Bar 2 fills that gap while inheriting Origin's typography automatically, so it looks native from the first save. Origin’s bold type pairs well with a stock ticker or marquee announcement — movement on top, specs below.

How to add Announcement Bar 2 to Origin, 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 Origin setup until you add a section.

  2. 2

    Find “Announcement Bar 2” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Announcement Bars category — or use search.

  3. 3

    Click “Add to theme”

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

  4. 4

    Open the Origin theme editor

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

  5. 5

    Customize and save

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

Announcement Bar 2 on Origin — FAQ

Does Announcement Bar 2 work with the Origin theme?

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

Will Announcement Bar 2 match Origin's design?

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

Is Announcement Bar 2 free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Announcement Bar 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 Origin theme and keeps working.

Marquee 4

Announcement Bars

A scrolling band that can carry words, images, buttons and a live countdown together. The digits use tabular figures and the days field reserves the width it needs at render time, so a tick can never change the set width and jog the loop. The clock is worked out server-side first, so the numbers are right at first paint.

Marquee 3

Announcement Bars

A sale marquee with depth: a faint oversized ghost of the same words drifts behind at half speed, and the emblems bob gently in place. Words alternate filled and hollow, which is what gives the band its rhythm without needing a second colour. An emblem set to turn keeps turning, because spin and bob both animate the same property.

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.
