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 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 Marquee 2 fits 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 Marquee 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.

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

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

### Will Marquee 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 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 Origin theme and keeps working.
