To add banners to your store front, you need to upload them to the "Marketing > Banners" tab of your administration panel. There are 4 kinds of banners, depending on where you want them positioned on your store pages: Header Banners, Footer Banners, Left Column and Right Column Banners. If you add more than one banner on a category, the banners will be positioned vertically with the exception of Header banners where all banners appear in one line.

! Banners are language depended so if you support more than one language on your store front you need to add banners for each language separately!

It's also good to add links to your banners as these will help your search engine rankings (whether they point to your store or other sites). To add a link to a banner, type the URL in the Link URL text box.

! When adding a link to a banner, your must provide a full URL (starting with http://) otherwise the address you add will be appended to your store's home address. For example if your store's URL is "http://myStore.com/" and you type "myPage.html", the banner will link to "http://myStore.com/myPage.html", but if you add "http://anotherStore.com/" the banner will link to "http://anotherStore.com/"

When a banner is clicked on the store front, the link will open in a new window, if you provide a full URL (starting with http://...) in the link URL box. Otherwise, if you provide a URL such as "myPage.html", the banner's link will open in the same window.

Once you have finished uploading and linking your banners click Submit to add them to your store pages.
