The New Header Is Here

Your Spreadshop is about to get a lot more attractive. Welcome customers to your Shop with a brand-new header, and emphasize what really matters: your products.

Why do I get a new header?

The new header provides you with more options to customize your Spreadshop. In combination with the new Spreadshop start page, you can now tailor it to better target your intended audience. The header has gotten smaller and smarter, providing more space for your products. Now, the focus is where it should be: on the merchandise. Find out exactly what’s changed and how it works in this clip:  

What’s changed?

Last week, we announced the new header. The previous graphic is being replaced by a new logo area (max. 380×68 pixels). You can upload a graphic logo in the proper size, or you can display your Spreadshop name (“General > Shop name & URL”). Further customization options for your Spreadshop name will follow, including the ability to choose from different fonts and sizes.

You’ll want your customers to immediately recognize your Shop, so you can continue to use your previous header graphic on the Spreadshop homepage. If you haven’t already done so, you should activate the new Spreadshop start page now.

How can I adjust the settings?

Due to the new features, we had to make some adjustments to the menu. From now on, you can find the settings for the header in the “Page Settings > Header”. There, you’ll also find the settings for social media icons and the search function. The old “Header & Colors” menu will be split, and the settings for “Colors” can now be found in “General”. The “Shop” option next to “Create” will no longer be required. The “Create” option will remain, but it has physically moved to the right of your product categories and will now be called “Customize”.

If you have already integrated your Spreadshop into a website, we’ll provide you with two new features for navigation that are especially designed for mobile views. Under “Advanced Settings > Embed Shop in Website” you can activate a burger menu or a swipe menu for your shop. This is also the spot to deactivate the logo in your header.

All graphics and background images that were set up via “Advanced Settings > HTML & CSS” will stay. Please note that it will no longer be possible to exchange the images.

How do you like the new header? Do you have any questions or comments? We are looking forward to your feedback.
