Hero section for Shopify
The first thing visitors see — a headline, an image, and one clear button.

The hero section is a full-width banner that sits at the top of a page to set the tone and point visitors to one action. It installs as a native theme section, so it renders server-side in Liquid and edits inline in Shopify's theme editor.

Frequently asked
Can I use a video background in the hero section?
Yes. You can set a hosted video or an uploaded file as the background, with an image fallback for devices that don't autoplay video.
Will the hero section slow down my store?
It's a native theme section rendered in Liquid, not an iframe or external script, so it loads with the rest of the page. Use an appropriately sized image to keep it fast.
Can I show a different image on mobile?
Yes. There's a separate mobile image field so you can crop or swap the background for smaller screens.
