Quotes

Theme section

Use the Quotes section to prominently display rotating quotes about your store or products from customers, partners, or the media.

Set up section

Add this section to any template (except Checkout) and use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order its position. You can add this section multiple times with different content and settings.

Editing a template changes all pages that use that template. To edit specific pages, you can create new templates or insert dynamic content with metafields.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

1. Select a Template to edit from the dropdown menu in the top bar.

   Learn how to use templates in our Templates guide.

2. Under Template, click (+) Add section and select Quotes.

3. Click and hold the drag-and-drop handles ⋮⋮ to re-order your sections.

Add quote blocks

Add Quote blocks with quote text, author names, and logo images. You can adjust the font size of the quote text.

If you add more than one quote block, they will autorotate by default. To change the time between quotes or stop quotes from quote blocks from automating, see the Quotes autoplay settings.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

1. Click (+) Add Quote and/or click on the Quote block to open the settings.

2. Add Quote text.

   Use the formatting buttons to add text styles, links, or lists. To learn more, see Shopify's Rich text editor guide ↗.

3. Enter the Author name to display below the quote text.

4. Use the Max width of text slider to control the maximum width of the quote text.

   Use this setting to create a clean visual shape for your text and avoid unwanted line breaks.

5. (Optional.) Select or upload an image for the Author photo.

   We recommend a 160px x 160px .png image.

   In the section settings, you can change the Image shape of author photos to Round or Square.

6. (Optional.) Click and hold the drag handles ⋮⋮ to rearrange the blocks:

   

   Click Remove block in the block settings to delete a block.

   Click the Eye icon to hide or unhide a block.

7. Click Save.

Set time between quotes

By default, multiple quotes will auto-rotate every 7 seconds. You can change the time between quotes to rotate them faster or slower.

Display each quote between 3 to 15 seconds.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

1. Click on the Quotes section to open the section settings.

2. Click and drag the slider to select the number of seconds to display each quote (between 3 and 15 seconds).

   Quotes with more words may need more time for customers to read them.

   Quotes will pause when customers hover over them.

3. Click Save.
