# How to Add Marquee 1 to the Refresh Theme

A large scrolling band of words and emblems, in one row or two running opposite ways. Twelve emblems are drawn inline as SVG in filled and outlined weights, and words can be filled or hollow. The loop is pure CSS, so nothing has to be measured at runtime. This guide shows how to add the Marquee 1 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 Marquee 1 fits Refresh

Marquees, tickers and rotating bars that push promotions, shipping thresholds and urgency without touching your theme. On Refresh, Marquee 1 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 “Marquee 1” 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:Marquee 1” 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 Marquee 1 work with the Refresh theme?

Yes. Refresh is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Marquee 1 installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Refresh's theme editor as “SShop:Marquee 1”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Marquee 1 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 Marquee 1 free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Marquee 1 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.
