The Floating Bar module is a versatile tool for displaying highly visible, site-wide announcements, promotions, or important messages to your customers.
Whether you want to announce a flash sale, offer a coupon code, or create urgency with a countdown timer, this customizable bar ensures your message is always in view without disrupting the shopping experience.
