Who can use this

Shop owner

Each slider has its own page where you keep its slides. Open the Shop menu, select Sliders, then select Manage or Add slides on a slider. See Sliders for what each slider is for.

A slider's page with the slides grid, a slide's three buttons and the Add slide button numbered

The slides, numbered in the order customers see them.
The buttons on each slide: Edit slide, Delete slide and Hide slide or Show slide.
ADD SLIDE.

Add a slide

The add slide form with the image, the Type list, the target picker and the Create button numbered

Open the form
Select ADD SLIDE. The form opens under the slides.
Choose the image
1. Choose a PNG, GIF or JPEG file. The tip under the field gives the size: "image size should be 580x270 px". The form does not insist on an image, but a slide without one shows only a placeholder, so always add it.
Choose what the slide opens
1. Type is required.
2. One more field appears for most types:
Type Extra field A tap opens
Product Product That product
Category Category That category
Tag Tag Products with that tag
Offers (on sale) None Your products on offer
URL URL The address you type
Create it
1. Select Create. The page shows New Slide Created and the slide joins the grid, visible to customers.

Reorder slides

Drag a slide to a new place. The numbers update and the new order saves by itself; a note confirms Slides sorted successfully. On a phone, press a slide briefly before dragging. The hint appears once a slider has two or more slides.

Hide or show a slide

Select Hide slide. The slide stays in the grid, greyed, with a Hidden flag, and customers no longer see it. The same button becomes Show slide. Hiding is the way to keep a seasonal banner for later.

Edit a slide

Select Edit slide. The Edit Slide page shows the current image and the same fields as the add form.

Leave the file field empty to keep the current image.
Changing Type clears the target of the old type.
Select Update. You return to the slider's page with Slide Updated.

Delete a slide

Select Delete slide and confirm "Delete this slide? This cannot be undone." The slide is removed for good. To take it down for a while, hide it instead.

Leave the page

All sliders at the top and Back to all sliders under the grid both return to the list.
