No-Code Sticky Header Builder
The Opportunity
An app that adds sticky or floating header behavior to Shopify themes without code changes. Merchants can configure desktop, tablet, and mobile behavior, height, animation, transparency, and scroll-trigger rules from a simple settings panel.
"Merchants want a header that remains visible while scrolling across devices, but implementing it often requires theme code edits and troubleshooting responsive behavior."
