Interactive carousel with JavaScript controls, Ken Burns zoom effect, progress bar, dot indicators, navigation arrows, and touch support. Features autoplay, glass/solid/outline buttons, and smooth slide transitions. This guide shows how to add the Rotating Carousel 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 Rotating Carousel Banner fits Refresh

First-impression sections: hero layouts, promotional banners and rotating showcases that make visitors stop scrolling. On Refresh, Rotating Carousel 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 “Rotating Carousel 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:Carousel 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 Rotating Carousel Banner work with the Refresh theme?

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

### Will Rotating Carousel 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 Rotating Carousel Banner free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Rotating Carousel 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.
