Spotlights help you highlight what’s trending and make a strong first impression on new visitors. They let you feature key products or moments in a clean, engaging visual block, keeping your homepage fresh and relevant. This guide shows you how to access the Spotlight widget, add videos, and use them to guide shoppers toward your most important content.
Use Cases
Bestsellers
Spotlights are perfect for surfacing the products everyone is loving right now. Showing your bestsellers in a clean, high-impact block helps new shoppers quickly understand what’s popular and worth paying attention to. It acts like a gentle nudge: “Start here, these are our most-loved picks.” This makes discovery easier and guides shoppers toward items with proven demand.
First-time visitor intro
When someone lands on your site for the first time, a Spotlight can instantly introduce them to what your brand stands for. You can showcase a signature product, a hero category, or a quick overview of what makes your store unique. It’s a simple, welcoming way to say, “Here’s what we’re about,” helping visitors get oriented and encouraging them to explore further.
