Position the Marketing Banner
The Free Shipping Banner is inserted as the first element on your storefront. However, if this does not suit your store, Global-e can place the banner in a different location using the ID of an element.
To insert the Free Shipping Banner in your preferred location on your storefront, add a new DIV element with a unique ID into your chosen location and share that ID with Global-e. This gives you complete control of the location of the banner and its position.
For Example:
<div id=”GlobaleFreeShippingBannerContainer”></div>

Banner Options

Group A includes a default Banner text and a list of countries to whom that banner is displayed.
You are free to edit the Banner text as long as you include the default text parameters:
Country Name – the shipping country’s name
Currency – the chosen currency for the shipping country
Free Shipping Minimum Amount – the minimum cart value from which free shipping is offered
To view the default list of countries:
Above the default text, click on List of Countries
The list of selected countries opens.
To create customized Banner messages and individual country lists, you need to create additional groups.
For more information on creating custom groups go to Create Additional Groups and Banners
Create Customized Banners
Create compelling and targeted Banner campaigns by showing customized messages to visitors in specific countries.
For example, you can show visitors in Europe a banner with one particular message while displaying a different banner message to visitors in Australia.
To create customized Banners and targeted campaigns you need to create additional groups, as detailed below.
Create Additional Groups and Banners
To display customised messages to visitors in different countries, you need to create a new Group for each collection of countries that you are targeting.

A list of all the countries in that continent opens.
Note
A country can only belong to one group at a time. By default, all countries are members of Group A. When a country is added to an additional group, the country is automatically removed from Group A.
If the name of a country is disabled, it indicates the country has already been added to an existing group.
Select all the countries you want to add to the group > Click OK.
At the bottom of Design Settings, the new group, Group B, now appears under Group A.
Click the pencil icon to edit the name of the group.
In the language drop-down, select the appropriate language for the countries in the group. For example, select Spanish if the group contains Spain.
