To add a product image slider in Shopify, you can follow these steps:
1. Log in to your Shopify admin dashboard:
– Visit the Shopify website (www.shopify.com) and log in using your credentials.
– You’ll be directed to your Shopify admin dashboard.
2. Access the Online Store section:
– From the admin dashboard, click on the “Online Store” tab in the left-hand menu.

3. Customise your theme:
– In the online store management area, click on the “Themes” option.
– You’ll see your active theme listed.
– Click on the “Customise” button next to your active theme.
4. Edit the homepage or desired page:
– In the theme customisation view, navigate to the page where you want to add the product image slider.
– This is typically the homepage, but it can be any other page you want to customise.
– Click on the section or content area where you want to insert the image slider.
5. Add a new section:
– Depending on your theme, you may have a dedicated section for image sliders or a general section where you can add custom content.
– Look for a section that allows you to add images or create a slider.
– If such a section is available, click on the “+” button or “Add section” to add a new section to your page.
– If no dedicated section is available, you can add a custom HTML section and embed a slider code snippet.
6. Configure the image slider:
– Once you’ve added the image slider section, you’ll have options to customize its settings.

– After configuring the image slider, click the “Save” or “Publish” button to save your changes.
– The product image slider will now be displayed on your chosen page.
8. Preview and test:
– To see how the product image slider looks on your storefront, click the “Preview” button.
– This will open a preview of your store with the changes applied.
– Test the image slider by interacting with it and ensuring that it functions as intended.
9. Publish the changes:
– Once you are satisfied with the product image slider, click the “Publish” or “Apply changes” button to make it live on your storefront.
– The slider will now be visible to your customers on the selected page.
Please note that the availability and customisation options for image sliders may vary depending on your Shopify theme. If you don’t have a built-in image slider section, you can explore Shopify’s theme store or consider using a third-party app or plugin to add an image slider functionality to your store.
Remember to regularly update the product images in the slider to showcase new or featured products and keep your storefront visually appealing and engaging.
It’s worth mentioning that the specific steps may vary depending on your theme and the customisation options available in your Shopify installation. If you encounter any difficulties or do not see the relevant options, refer to Shopify’s documentation or contact their support team for further assistance specific to your installation.
