How to add Gradient Overlay Banner to the Refresh theme

Visually striking banner with customizable gradient overlays (bottom, full, radial, left, right), content animations, flexible positioning, and glass/solid/outline button styles. Features hover zoom effect on background image. This guide shows how to add the Gradient Overlay Banner 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 hero & banners like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Gradient Overlay Banner works on Refresh

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

How to add Gradient Overlay Banner to Refresh, 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 Refresh setup until you add a section.

  2. 2

    Find “Gradient Overlay Banner” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Hero & Banners category — or use search.

  3. 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. 4

    Open the Refresh theme editor

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

  5. 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.

Gradient Overlay Banner on Refresh — FAQ

Does Gradient Overlay Banner work with the Refresh theme?

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

Will Gradient Overlay Banner 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 Gradient Overlay Banner free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Gradient Overlay Banner 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 Refresh theme and keeps working.

Hero & Banners

A gallery wall: each photograph sits in a mat and a frame, hung in a row that recedes to either side of the one in front. Navigation is a brass plaque with the piece number and a row of tick marks, the way a wall label works. Hangs flat by default, and leans as far as you want it to.

Hero & Banners

A leaning deck of cards: one in front, its neighbours fanned out behind and shrinking with distance. Each card carries a signed offset from the centre as a CSS custom property and one transform rule reads it, so moving the deck rewrites numbers rather than markup. Clicking a card behind brings it forward.
