Stunning 3D flip animations with typewriter effect and progress indicator. Rotates through multiple messages with smooth 3D perspective transforms and customizable timing. This guide shows how to add the 3D Flip Rotator section to the Refresh theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Refresh's code. Refresh is a free theme by Shopify, known for editorial layouts and generous whitespace — and announcement bars like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why 3D Flip Rotator fits Refresh

Marquees, tickers and rotating bars that push promotions, shipping thresholds and urgency without touching your theme. On Refresh, 3D Flip Rotator 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 Refresh'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 Refresh setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “3D Flip Rotator” 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 Refresh theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Refresh uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Refresh theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:3D Flip Rotator” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Refresh font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does 3D Flip Rotator work with the Refresh theme?

Yes. Refresh is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and 3D Flip Rotator installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Refresh's theme editor as “SShop:3D Flip Rotator”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will 3D Flip Rotator match Refresh's design?

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

### Is 3D Flip Rotator free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

3D Flip Rotator 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 Refresh theme and keeps working.
