Add an Afterpay Banner to Shopify

Banners show Afterpay information at the top of your Shopify page, as in the picture below.

To add an Afterpay banner, you must edit your store's code. Before you start, make sure that:

  • Shopify is already installed and running on your online store

  • You have decided what banner you want and it conforms to guidelines
