Hey @Michi1

Great questions! Let’s take them one at a time:

1) How do you add a theme banner to the top of your Shopify page?

To add a banner at the top of a page (like a promo bar or large image banner), you’ll typically:

  • Go to Online Store → Themes → Customize

  • Navigate to the page (Home, Collection, etc.)

  • Click “Add section” or “Add block”

  • Choose something like “Image banner” or “Announcement bar”

Most themes let you position these at the top by simply dragging the section to the top in the editor. For custom pages, you might need to edit the template or create a custom one.

2) How do you create a banner using your own photos?

Once you’ve added an Image Banner section:

  • Click into the section or block

  • Select “Upload image”

  • Choose your personal photo (JPG or PNG works best)

  • You can also adjust overlay text, alignment, and height based on the theme

Let me know what theme you’re using, and I can give you more specific steps if needed!

Best,
