About the Extension

Announce your sales without sitting up at midnight

Set up your Black Friday campaign and your Cyber Monday campaign in advance – each with its own period, its own text, its own coupon code and its own look. At the time you defined, the bar switches by itself. Visitors who already have your page open see the change too, without reloading.

Three kinds of announcement bar

Static for one clear message. Scrolling, when several notices should move past. Rotating, when messages should take turns. The countdown runs in all three and shows how much time is left.

Ready-made designs instead of guessing at colours

Pick one of the included templates – from understated to loud, for light shops and for dark ones, suited to Black Friday, Cyber Monday or campaigns you run all year. If you like, adjust background, text and accent colour to match your own look.

A coupon code nobody has to retype

The code appears in the bar and in the coupon popup and can be copied with one click. The discounts themselves stay where you already manage them: in Shopware's own promotions. This extension creates no discounts of its own and changes nothing about the ones you have.

Your shop stays fast

The countdown shows the right time even when your shop caches pages. You do not have to switch anything off and you lose no loading speed. No fonts and no scripts are loaded from third-party servers. Whether a visitor has dismissed the bar is handled through Shopware's own cookie settings and visible to your customers there.

Fits into your shop

Campaigns can be assigned to individual sales channels and all texts are maintained per language. If two campaigns overlap, a priority decides which one takes precedence. Verified for Shopware 6.6 and 6.7, on desktop and on mobile.

Ready in five minutes

After installing, activate the extension as usual under Extensions > My extensions. You will then find the new section under Marketing > Announcement bars.

Nothing appears in your shop at first. The bar only shows once you create a campaign and switch it on, so nothing can surprise you in a live shop.

Creating your first campaign

Open Marketing > Announcement bars and click Create campaign.
Give it a name. It is only for your own orientation and never appears in the shop.
Under Period, choose your time zone and enter start and end.
Under Appearance, choose the kind of bar and a design template.
Under Bar text, enter your message.
Switch Active on at the top and save.

To show a countdown, write {countdown} wherever you want it in the text. For example: Black Week – only {countdown} left. The placeholder is replaced by the time remaining until the campaign ends.

Three kinds of bar

Static – one fixed message. The quietest option.
Scrolling – your notices move past from right to left.
Rotating – several messages appear one after another.

You can change the kind at any time without re-entering your texts.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday in sequence

The real benefit appears when you set up both campaigns in advance. Create a second campaign, for example:

Black Friday – Friday 00:00 to Sunday 23:59
Cyber Monday – Monday 00:00 to Monday 23:59

Give each its own design template and its own coupon code. At the time you defined, the bar switches by itself. Visitors who have your page open at that moment see the change too, without reloading.

If two campaigns overlap

Then priority decides. The lower value takes precedence. A campaign with priority 10 is shown before one with priority 20. Only one bar is ever visible at a time.

Adding a coupon code

This extension displays your coupon code – it does not create one. Set up the discount first, as usual, under Marketing > Promotions, then enter the code you defined there in the Coupon code field.

The code then appears in the bar and in the coupon popup, ready for your customers to copy with one click. Your existing promotions are left untouched.

Adjusting the look

The included design templates cover light and dark shops and work straight away. If you want to go further, set background, text and accent colour under Appearance.

Fields you leave empty keep the value from the chosen template, so you only change what actually matters to you. You can also add your own background image.

Shop-wide basic settings

Under Extensions > My extensions, click Configure to open the basic settings. There you decide, per sales channel, whether the announcement bar and the coupon popup are shown at all, whether visitors may dismiss the bar, and which design template applies by default.

If your theme already has its own bar

Some themes already show their own strip above the header, for example with service information. Together with the announcement bar that would be two strips on top of each other.

In that case, switch on the option in the basic settings to hide the theme's own bar while a campaign is running. For other themes you can add your own CSS selectors. As soon as the campaign ends, your theme's strip returns.

Good to know

Sales channels: If you select none, the campaign applies to all sales channels.
Languages: All texts are maintained per language using the switcher at the top of the form.
Dismissing: If a visitor closes the bar, that applies to this one campaign only. Your next campaign will be shown to them again.
Speed: You do not have to switch off page caching. The countdown still shows the right time.
Planning ahead: Feel free to create campaigns weeks in advance and leave them active. Nothing is visible before the start date.
