Slides

You can use slides on your StoreHippo site to promote your products and make your store more attractive. Slides are images that appear on your store's homepage and keep changing at short intervals. The slides can be updated as per the requirement of your store. For example, you can have a slide displaying your latest collection or promotional offers.

You can manage slides in the Site > Slides section of the StoreHippo Admin Panel.
