The “Info Panel” add-on helps you quickly show important messages to customers right inside your store. You can display urgent notices, promotions, holiday alerts, or any other key information in a visible panel fixed to the top of the screen.
What it is for
- to notify customers about important changes on time;
- to highlight promotions, special offers, and temporary announcements;
- to show short messages without intrusive pop-ups;
- to control when and where the panel is visible.
Key features
- fixing the panel to the top of the screen;
- several panels with different content;
- text, links, buttons, and images;
- control over the look and height of the panel;
- a display period defined by dates;
- placing panels on selected pages through blocks;
- showing panels in the administration panel and the vendor panel;
- hiding the panel until the end of the session and showing it again after a set time.
How it works
After setup, the add-on displays the selected panel on the storefront. For each panel, you can define the text, styling, button, link, images for different devices, and display period. The panel can be fixed to the top so the message stays visible while customers browse the store.
Panels are created under Marketing → MS: Info Panel, and their placement on pages is configured with a block in the block manager. The panel has no separate settings — its behaviour is defined by the panel options and the add-on's general settings.

Instructions for the “Info Panel” add-on
What the add-on does
- shows an information panel on the storefront;
- can fix the panel to the top of the screen;
- lets you create several panels with different content;
- supports text, links, buttons, and images;
- lets you control the display period and appearance;
- can display panels through blocks on selected pages;
- can show panels in the administration panel and the vendor panel.
Where to find the add-on
The general settings are available in the Info Panel add-on card under Add-ons → Manage add-ons. Panels themselves are created under Marketing → MS: Info Panel, and their placement on pages is configured with the MS: Info Panel block in the block manager.
How to configure it
General add-on settings:
- Show in block — enables panel output through a block in the block manager;
- Fix panel on top — keeps the panel fixed at the top of the screen;
- Default height — sets the default panel height when no custom value is specified.
Panel options:
- message text — the main content shown in the panel;
- panel type — text-based or image-based;
- background color and other appearance options;
- display period — start and end dates;
- status — whether the panel is active;
- button and link inside the message;
- images for different devices, if the panel uses them.
How it works
Active panels are shown on the storefront during the configured periods. If a panel is fixed to the top, it stays visible while the page is scrolled. A panel can be hidden until the end of the session, and the repeated display can be configured after a set time. Panels can also be shown not only on the storefront, but also in the administration panel and the vendor panel.
How to check the result
- Open the add-on card and set the general display options — for example, fixing the panel on top and the default height.
- Create an information panel under Marketing → MS: Info Panel and fill in the text, appearance, and display dates.
- If the panel should be shown through a block, add the MS: Info Panel block to the required storefront area.
- Open the storefront and make sure the panel appears in the expected place and, if needed, stays fixed at the top.
- Check that the panel hides after the display period ends or when its status is turned off.
Typical problems
- The panel is not visible on the storefront. Check that the panel is active and within its display period and that it is not hidden until the end of the session.
- The panel does not appear after adding a block. Check that the “Show in block” setting is enabled.
- Fixing to the top does not work. Check the “Fix panel on top” setting in the add-on card.
