# How to Add Hero 9 Banner to the Refresh Theme

> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/refresh/add-hero-9-banner/ — Section Shop, 56 free native Shopify sections. Install: https://apps.shopify.com/section-shop

Hero section with dual animated image columns (left and right scrolling) alongside heading, text, and CTA button. Features reversible layout position and customizable typography and button styling. This guide shows how to add the Hero 9 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 Hero 9 Banner fits Refresh

First-impression sections: hero layouts, promotional banners and rotating showcases that make visitors stop scrolling. On Refresh, Hero 9 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.

## 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 “Hero 9 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 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:Hero 9 Banner” 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 Hero 9 Banner work with the Refresh theme?

Yes. Refresh is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Hero 9 Banner installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Refresh's theme editor as “SShop:Hero 9 Banner”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Hero 9 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 Hero 9 Banner free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Hero 9 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 Refresh theme and keeps working.
