Hero banner, split screen and video sections for Shopify
The big, page-defining layouts: hero banners with text over an image or a video, split screens, angled splits, sticky-scroll stories and cards that break their own grid.
These sections set the tone at the top of a page or between product rows. Image with text overlay is a full-bleed hero with your words in any corner. Text over video does the same over a background video (a video file or YouTube), with a poster image for devices that won’t autoplay.
Split screen puts an image beside your copy. Diagonal split divides the two panes with an angle you choose, or a curve or a chevron. Sticky scroll holds an image still while blocks of text scroll past, which suits brand stories and product walkthroughs. Offset cards stagger, overlap or tilt, for a looser, editorial feel.
PictureImageA picture with a clear background (PNG or WebP): what is in it rises out of the shape. Any other picture rises out as a rectangle.

How to add a Panely section to your Shopify store
Install Panely from the Shopify App Store. It works with Online Store 2.0 themes, and your theme files are never edited.
Pick a section and press Add. Choose a design, and change the settings in the editor with a live preview beside them. You get a short section code.
Place it once. In the theme editor, add the Panely block where you want the section, and paste the code into its Section code field.
Edit any time. Change the section in Panely and save. Your store shows the change on its next page load, with nothing to paste again.
Each Add is its own copy with its own settings, so you can use the same section on as many pages as you like.
Panely must stay installed for its sections to show. If you uninstall, they disappear, and your theme is left
exactly as it was.
Questions about overlay & split layouts sections
How do I add a video background to my Shopify homepage?
Add the Text over video section in Panely, link your video (a video file or a YouTube video), add a poster image, and write your heading and button. The video plays muted behind the text, and the poster shows wherever video can’t autoplay.
Do these layouts work on phones?
Yes. Split layouts stack on narrow screens, and settings marked “phone and desktop” below can take a different value on phones, such as a shorter hero or smaller heading.
Add these sections to your store
Install Panely from the Shopify App Store, pick a section and place it in your theme in a couple of minutes. A free plan is available.
