Topic summary

The original poster seeks a better solution for changing front-page banners during sales. Their current tool, Launchpad, has limitations—it changes the entire theme rather than allowing targeted section updates.

Suggested approaches:

  • Theme customization with Liquid logic: Add a custom checkbox or image picker in the theme editor’s main-banner section. Use conditional Liquid code ({% if section.settings.show_sale_banner %}) to toggle between regular and sale banners directly from the editor, avoiding apps or theme swaps.

  • Metafields or custom Liquid blocks: Implement metafields or custom blocks within specific homepage sections for greater control. This method supports date-based scheduling through Liquid code, enabling automatic banner changes without manual intervention.

  • Third-party app: One user recommends Slider Revolution, a Shopify app that builds banners via app blocks and offers free banner functionality.

All solutions aim to provide section-specific banner control without full theme replacement.

Hi do anybody have a good solution for changing the banners on the frontpage on sales on the shop?

SO far we have used the app Launchpad, but it have limits and it changes the entire theme, I could be nice if we could add it on specific sections.

Hey @mns-burg ,

A clean way is to customize your theme to show different banners using a setting or block in the theme editor.

For example:

  • In your main-banner section, add a custom checkbox or image picker for “Show Sale Banner.”

  • Then use Liquid logic like this:

{% if section.settings.show_sale_banner %}
  
{% else %}
  
{% endif %}

This way, you can swap banners directly from the theme editor without apps or theme swapping.

A good solution for changing banners on the front page during sales—without switching the entire theme like Launchpad does—is to use metafields or custom Liquid blocks within specific homepage sections, which allows you to display sale banners only where needed and even schedule them using simple date-based Liquid code, giving you much more control and flexibility.
