What are the best apps for scheduling banner slideshows?

Topic summary

Seeking a Shopify app for a rotating banner slideshow with scheduling per slide, separate desktop/mobile images, and control over transition speed. Current tool (Otto Image Scheduler) is deemed cumbersome.

No slideshow-specific app recommendations were provided. One reply supports the concept generally without naming tools.

Two suggestions shift to theme-level scheduling as a workaround: use Valet – Theme Scheduler or Maestro Theme Scheduler to schedule entire theme changes. The proposed method is to create two theme variants with different slider images and schedule when each goes live. A video link was shared for Maestro Theme Scheduler.

Key terms: “slider app” = tool for rotating banner images; “theme scheduler” = app that schedules when a whole theme (and its content) publishes.

Outcome: No direct app matching the slide-level scheduling requirements was identified. The discussion remains open with a suggested workaround via theme scheduling and linked resources (app pages and a YouTube video).

I’m looking for app suggestions that allow me to have a rotating banner slideshow with scheduling capabilities for slides.

This app would need to be able to:

  1. schedule start/end date and time for slides

  2. upload desktop and mobile images

  3. control the speed of transitions

I’m currently using ‘Otto Image Scheduler’ and am not very impressed with it. It’s very cumbersome to use. I’m open to any suggestions. Thank you.

Yes its Great idea Thank you this suggestion to a shopify many people may think about this as well and i know its good idea for all the website like Ecommerce store, Local business, and small tools like schriftgenerator and much more as well.

I think it’s overkill for a slideshow app to have scheduling feature. I do not know any slider app to recommend but do checkout our app Valet - Theme scheduler for scheduling themes.

What you can do is create 2 variations of the theme with different slider images then schedule one to go live when you want. Hope this helps :slightly_smiling_face:
