Create an infinite-scroll banner
Build an infinite scroll banner that loops its content seamlessly for ticker-style announcements and promotions.
An infinite scroll banner is a bar whose content loops continuously from right to left, like a news ticker. Use it for repeating promotions, free-shipping notices, or short announcements you want customers to notice.
Name the banner
The full-screen editor opens on the Design tab. Replace New Banner in the name field above the preview with a name of up to 50 characters. This name is internal and is never shown to customers.
Next to the name you also get a language selector, desktop and mobile preview toggles, and the Active / Draft status switch.

Edit the scrolling content
Section 1 starts with a single Description element containing sample text such as ✨ Free ship on order $40+ ✨. Click it to open its settings on the right:
Content — a rich-text editor with bold, italic, underline, emoji, alignment, and an HTML view (
</>). The language chip shows which language you are editing.Text — font Size and Color.
Padding and Margin — spacing around the element, in pixels.
Click Add element to add more items to the loop — Message, Heading, Line break, Button, Countdown, or Image — and drag the handle on the left of a row to reorder them.

Style the bar
In the Style panel:
Background Type — choose Single Color, Gradient Color, or Pattern Image. Infinite scroll banners default to Pattern Image; use Change Image to swap the tile or Remove to clear it.
Font Style — set the typeface, weight, and default text color.
Padding — control the spacing inside the bar.
Add a close button or make the bar clickable
Both options live in the Button panel and are off by default:
Tick Include Close Button to place an "x" on the bar so customers can dismiss it. Two fields appear: Color and Hover Color.
Tick Bar Clickable to make the whole bar a link. A Link URL field appears — enter the destination, and use the toggle beside it to open the link in a new tab.

Set the scroll speed and timing
All four fields in the Animation panel are in seconds:
Scroll speed
How long one full loop takes. A higher number scrolls slower.
Disappear After
How long the bar stays on screen before hiding.
Interval Between Bar Display
The gap before the bar reappears.
Time For The Bar To Fade In
The length of the fade-in animation.

(Optional) Add custom CSS
Open Advance Section to write your own CSS in the Custom CSS (Developer Zone) box. The CSS reference list below it shows the available selectors — including .samita_banner_groups.infinityScroll, the wrapper used when infinite scrolling is enabled. Click a selector to insert it.
Choose where the banner appears
Switch to the Placement tab and pick a display position:
Top
Pushes page content down.
Top Sticky
Pushes content down and stays visible while scrolling.
Top Overlay
Overlaps the top of the page content.
Overlay Sticky
Overlaps content and stays visible while scrolling.
Bottom Sticky
Fixed at the bottom of the page.
Custom
Place the bar anywhere using a shortcode.
Below the position picker, narrow the audience with Product conditions, Customer conditions, Page conditions, Language conditions, Country conditions, Other conditions, and Visibility date. The Shortcode panel gives you the snippet to paste into your theme when you choose Custom.
See Configure display conditions for the full breakdown of each condition type.

Save and activate
Set the status switch above the preview to Active, then click Save in the top-right corner. Leave it on Draft to keep working without publishing.
Banners only render on your storefront if the app embed is enabled in your theme. See Enable the app in your theme.
Next steps
Configure display conditions — control where and to whom your banner appears.
Create a basic banner — build a static or rotating announcement bar instead.
