Announcement Bar with Stories

Everyone interacts with Instagram Stories and Highlights. Everyone discovers brands through their smartphone. Although today’s eCommerce stores are optimized for mobile, they are not built to what people are used to—social media behavior and social commerce.

Storypop's announcement bar bridges the gap.

It lets you beautifully announce and communicate multiple messages to your audience, including discount codes and free shipping, convert more visitors to new customers, and build a stronger connection with the existing ones. Say bye-bye to your old-fashioned announcement bar.

You can now create visual stories to announce your messages above your navigation menu—similar to Instagram Highlights.
