What Is BL Scrolling Announcement Bar?
BL Scrolling Announcement Bar is an easy-to-use announcement bar app designed to help online stores display important messages prominently across their storefront.
Instead of using a large banner that takes up valuable screen space, you can display your message in a compact horizontal bar that continuously scrolls across the page.
Use it to promote:
- Sales and special offers
- Discount codes
- Free shipping
- New products and collections
- Limited-time promotions
- Seasonal campaigns
- Store announcements
- Shipping information
- Important customer notices
Now Available for BigCommerce
BL Scrolling Announcement Bar has already been used by stores on platforms including Shopify, Wix, and Ecwid.
With the new BigCommerce version, BigCommerce merchants can now use the same concept to add a scrolling announcement bar to their BigCommerce store.
Whether you’re running a flash sale, promoting free shipping, launching a new collection, or simply want to keep an important message visible, the announcement bar gives you a simple way to put that information in front of shoppers.
Why Use a Scrolling Announcement Bar?
Your customers don’t necessarily start their shopping journey on your homepage.
They may arrive directly on a product page from Google, an advertisement, social media, or another link.
A prominent BigCommerce announcement bar helps ensure that important store-wide messages don’t depend on customers visiting a particular page.
For example:
FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $75
or:
SUMMER SALE — USE CODE SUMMER20 FOR 20% OFF
or:
NEW COLLECTION NOW AVAILABLE → SHOP NOW
The message stays visible while customers browse your store.
One Bar, Multiple Announcements
Have more than one message to share?
A scrolling announcement bar lets you display multiple messages in the same compact space.
For example:
FREE SHIPPING OVER $50 · 20% OFF WITH CODE SAVE20 · NEW COLLECTION AVAILABLE NOW
Instead of choosing just one announcement, you can use the scrolling format to give each message its own moment.
Perfect for BigCommerce Promotions
A BigCommerce promotional bar can be useful for virtually any promotional campaign.
Use your announcement bar for:
Sales
Make your current promotion immediately visible.
SUMMER SALE — UP TO 30% OFF
Discount Codes
Remind shoppers about your current coupon.
USE CODE WELCOME10 FOR 10% OFF
Free Shipping
Highlight a shipping incentive throughout the shopping experience.
FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $50
New Products
Let returning and first-time customers know about new arrivals.
NEW PRODUCTS HAVE ARRIVED — SHOP NOW
Store Updates
Communicate important operational information.
ORDERS SHIP WITHIN 1–2 BUSINESS DAYS
A Compact Alternative to Large Banners
Not every announcement needs a large hero section.
A scrolling announcement bar takes up very little space while keeping your message highly visible.
This makes it useful for BigCommerce stores that already have a busy homepage and want to communicate an additional promotion or announcement without adding another large content section.
Built for eCommerce Stores
BL Scrolling Announcement Bar was created specifically with online stores in mind.
After supporting merchants across Shopify, Wix, Ecwid, and other eCommerce platforms, we’re bringing the app to BigCommerce so merchants can use a simple announcement bar to communicate with shoppers.
The goal is straightforward: make important store messages more visible without making your storefront more complicated.
