In this section you can select a collection in the “For collection”, for which you want this banner to be created and add a URL for the banner that will redirect your customers to the needed page, when clicking on the banner. Simply click on it and choose the desired page from the dropdown list, or you can paste a link that is not on this list.

IMAGE

In order to make your banner more attractive for the clients, you can add an image for it. You can add an image both for a desktop and a mobile version, and it can be a different picture, with different sizes. The recommended image size for the desktop is 1440 x 550 pixels. The size of the image can be changed on the “Image size” scale from 200 to 2000 pixels. The recommended image size for the mobile version is 540x550px. The size of the mobile image can be changed on the “Mobile image size” scale from 200 to 2000 pixels. For the mobile version you can also set the horizontal position using a “Horizontal position for mobile image” scale from 0 to 100%, where 50% is a center position, 0% - move to the left, 100% - move to the right. The settings will be disabled if you choose “Auto image adaptation height” in Layouts ->Height, which will come further in the promo box settings.
You can also add an image mask and choose the level of its opacity on the “Image mask opacity” scale from 0.1 to 1.0. An image mask is sort of the color cover which can be put over the image in order to give it a particular shade of color if it has some opacity, or to cover it completely with the color if the opacity level is at maximum.

TEXT

Here you can customize the text content for your banner in the promo box. There are 3 text lines that can be added. Delete the line value for the text or button if you want to hide the element and use '

BUTTON #1 - #2

For each banner in the promo box you can add two buttons, which can be customized. There are three customization options for the buttons: button text, URL for the button, and button style. In the button text you can write the title of the button, e.g.: Shop now, or More. In the URL for the button insert the link to which the client should be redirected when clicking on the button and in the button style you can choose one of the button styles which are offered in the dropdown list.
