Impulse Theme - Add another Announcment Bar (without an App)

Store Design

Topic summary

Goal: add a second announcement bar in the Impulse Shopify theme without using an app, with matching theme styling (fonts/spacing). The desired placement is one bar above the header and another below it.

Suggestions offered:

  • Duplicate the JSON schema/config in the header section to create an additional announcement bar, then add content as needed.
  • Create a new Liquid section for an announcement bar and insert it below the header.

Context: Liquid is Shopify’s templating language for themes; the JSON reference likely means the section’s schema settings in the header file.

What’s missing/next steps:

  • Exact file locations (e.g., sections/header.liquid) and how to duplicate/rename the schema settings.
  • Code examples for the new section, and how to include it in the layout.
  • Guidance on ensuring styling matches the default theme announcement bar.

Status: No confirmation of a working solution; discussion remains open with high-level advice only.

I am using the Impulse Theme, and would like two Announcment bars (one above the header, and one below)

I have tried many Apps but they all have different styles to the Default Theme one (different Font spacing etc)

just duplicate the json code in header section.
You can add content accordingly.

Hi,

We can create another announcement bar below the header by creating a new section in liquid.
