Scheduled Announcement Bar

Scheduled Announcement Bar is a Shopify app in the Banners category. Scheduled Announcement Bar allows merchants to create and schedule announcement messages that appear on their storefront. Merchants can set start and end dates for each announcement so messages automatically display and expire at the correct time. This removes the need to manually enable or disable promotional banners. The app supports multiple announcement bars, which can be reordered directly inside the admin panel. Each announcement can be customized with different background and text colors.

Scheduled Announcement Bar offers a free plan and 2 paid plans starting at $4/month and going up to $9.99/month. The free plan includes 1 active announcement bar, Full scheduling (start & end dates), All colors, and Dismissible bars. The paid plans unlock advanced features beyond what's available on the free tier.

Merchants commonly compare Scheduled Announcement Bar with Hextom, Hextom, Essential Countdown Timer Bar, and Avada Boost Sales Trust Badges.
