Customizing the style of each slide

Here you have the option of linking the buttons to your collections or redirecting them to another collection depending on your setup.

Customize the color of your button.
- Text alignment
Customize your layout settings of where your text should be positioned.
- Image properties
Select images to upload or choose from the Library, or you may browse from Free images.
- Text protection (opacity)
This darkens the image to make text easier to read if text is a lighter colour.
- Image focal point
Set a focal point to ensure that a key part of an image won't get cropped.

The Image section above is useful when your customer is viewing your store from a desktop. To ensure the text will display normally on all mobile devices, you can create Mobile Friendly text by utilizing the Mobile image window.
Now you can use the Hero slideshow section to highlight your top products, new arrivals, or special promotions. By doing so, you will grab customers' attention immediately when they visit your store, so as to boost sales.
