• Optionally you can add a hyperlink (2). Place internal links to the shop (e.g., item detail pages) or links to a external reference (e.g., a manufacturer's website).

  • External links will open in a new window automatically.
  • Shopware links will open in the same window.
• To limit the time period for which you banner will appear, click on the red calendar icons in the Active from (4) and Active until (5) fields and select a start and end date. You also have the option of defining an exact time in the fields to the right of the date fields. These times are optional.If the entries are not filled, banners are valid immediately and indefinitely. If the entries are not filled, banners are valid immediately and indefinitely.
