In MyCashflow, you can create banners for your online store to bring color and life to its pages. Often, a banner contains a slogan or advertising phrase, with a background image that fits the theme and style. Sometimes a banner can contain just an image or just text. Here you can learn how to manage your online store's banners.

You can create and edit banners on the admin panel page Contents > Banners.

See instructions on how to create banners.

Banner areas

In order to display banners in the online store, the store theme needs to include banner areas, which are predetermined locations where the banners and banner groups you specify will be displayed.

Creating banner areas requires modifying the store theme's HTML/CSS/JavaScript files. If you're not familiar with these languages, contact your theme's designer or our customer service.

See also the Designer's Guide and its articles about banner tags used for adding banner areas to the theme.

To create a banner area, add the Interface tag {Banners(name: 'code')} to the desired location in the store theme.

Banners or banner groups are placed in banner areas based on their code name or ID number. See detailed instructions on how to print banners.

For example, the default theme has two ready-to-use banner areas on the front page (highlighted in the picture).

Banner groups

Banners can be brought together in banner groups. Banners of one banner group are all visible in the same banner area. Banners from multiple groups can be displayed in the same banner area.

You can use banner groups, for instance, to create banner carousels, in which banners are displayed alternating on a timely basis. In the default theme, the front page comes with a banner carousel already implemented.

Creating banner carousels requires modifying the store theme's HTML/CSS/JavaScript files.
