Clickable button in Forge them

Store Design

Topic summary

A user created a Black Friday sale banner in Canva and wants to make the “Shop Black Friday Sale Here” and “Contact Us” buttons clickable when added to their Shopify homepage as a Slideshow Image. They’re asking if there’s a better section type than slideshow for this purpose.

Proposed Solution:

  • Use a Custom HTML Section instead of the slideshow
  • Navigate to: Admin Panel → Online Store → Themes → Customize → Add Section → Custom HTML
  • Insert HTML code that layers clickable buttons over the banner image using absolute positioning

Implementation Steps:

  • Replace YOUR_BANNER_IMAGE_URL with the Canva banner URL
  • Replace YOUR_BLACK_FRIDAY_LINK and YOUR_CONTACT_US_LINK with respective destination URLs
  • The code includes inline CSS styling for button appearance (colors, padding, border-radius)

This approach allows full control over button functionality and positioning that standard slideshow sections don’t support.

Hello all,

I want to add the attached banner to my website. I built the banner in Canva, but I cannot find a way to link the “Shop Black Friday Sale Here” and “Contact Us” buttons when I add it to my homepage as a Slideshow Image. Is there any way to do this? Is there a section other than “slideshow” which would be better suited for this? Thanks!
