Banners serve as your homepage hero, an instantly engaging video that captures attention the moment someone lands on your site. This guide walks you through accessing the Banner widget, adding or importing videos, customizing its appearance, and using hero-style video placements to boost engagement and drive conversions right from the first fold.

Imagine a shopper landing on your site for the first time. A Banner lets you greet them with a hero-style video that instantly sets the mood: your brand’s colours, energy, vibe, and personality all come through in the first few seconds. A quick “here’s who we are,” making the store feel more immersive and helping customers connect emotionally before they start exploring.

Think of a major sale or seasonal offer you want every shopper to notice. A banner turns that moment into a bold, high-impact visual right at the top of your homepage. The video can show the theme of the campaign, highlight bestsellers, or tease what’s on discount. It creates instant visibility and excitement, guiding customers straight into the promotion the moment they arrive.
