Key takeaways
- Create the page from Online Store > Pages, then build sections in the Theme Editor.
- Use campaign-specific URL handles (e.g., /pages/summer-sale-2026) for clean ad tracking.
- Consider hiding navigation on campaign pages to keep visitors focused on converting.
- Fudge handles custom campaign elements (countdowns, product grids, urgency messaging) not available in your theme.
Campaign landing pages are one of the most direct levers you have on Shopify conversion rates. A focused page built for a specific offer - a product launch, a seasonal sale, a partnership drop - outperforms driving ad traffic to your homepage every time.

We’ve worked on campaign page strategy for hundreds of Shopify brands. We also built Fudge — an AI storefront editor with a 5.0 rating on the Shopify App Store.
What makes a campaign landing page different
A standard page on your store serves general navigation. A campaign landing page is designed for a specific audience arriving from a specific source.
Key differences:
- Single offer. One product, one collection, one promotion. No distractions.
- Controlled navigation. Many high-performing campaign pages hide the site header and footer so visitors can’t browse away before converting.
- Urgency elements. Sale end dates, limited stock, countdown timers.
- Targeted copy. Headlines that speak to the ad or email that brought the visitor here.
- Single CTA. Buy this, sign up for this, claim this.
Step 1 - Create the page
Step 1. Go to Online Store > Pages > Add page.
Step 2. Set a campaign-specific title (internal use).
Step 3. Set the URL handle to something campaign-specific in the SEO section: summer-sale-2026, new-collection-drop, black-friday-2026.
Why this matters: Clean URL handles make ad tracking easier and let you reuse the same URL year over year (or create new URLs per campaign without confusion).
Step 4. Save.
Step 2 - Build sections in the Theme Editor
Step 1. Go to Online Store > Themes > Customize.
Step 2. Navigate to your campaign page.
Step 3. Build with sections - a campaign page typically benefits from:
- Hero banner with the campaign headline and primary CTA
- Featured collection or individual product blocks
- Social proof - star ratings, press mentions, or testimonials
- Urgency element - sale end date or limited stock note
- FAQs specific to the offer
- Secondary CTA at the bottom
Step 4. Position sections in order of importance. CTA should be reachable without scrolling past too much content.
How to hide navigation on a campaign page
Via Theme Editor settings:
Step 1. In the Theme Editor, navigate to the campaign page.
Step 2. Click on the Header section in the left sidebar.
Step 3. Check whether your theme has a “Hide on this page” toggle or “Transparent header” option.
Step 4. Some themes let you create a custom page template with no header - this requires the template duplication method (duplicate page.json to page.campaign.json, edit the template in the code editor to remove the header/footer sections).
If your theme doesn’t support this natively, describe it to Fudge: “Create a campaign page template with no header or footer - just a minimal logo on top-left and the main content area.”
Adding a countdown timer to a campaign page
Most standard Shopify themes don’t include a countdown timer section. Options:
A Shopify app - several countdown timer apps add a timer section to the Theme Editor.
Fudge - describe what you want: “Add a countdown timer section to the campaign page showing days, hours, minutes, seconds until March 15, 2026 at midnight. Dark background, white text, large numbers.”
URL strategy for Shopify campaign pages
Evergreen campaigns: Use a consistent URL like /pages/sale that you update for each sale period. Link to it from your navigation. Builds link equity over time.
One-off campaigns: Use dated URLs like /pages/spring-launch-2026. Easier to track attribution per campaign. Set up a redirect from the old URL after the campaign ends.
UTM parameters: Add UTM parameters to the URL when sharing in ads or emails - e.g., yourstore.com/pages/summer-sale?utm_source=email&utm_campaign=summer-launch. The page URL itself stays clean; tracking happens in the query string.
Campaign page checklist before launch
Before sending traffic to a campaign page, run through this:
- Page title and meta description set correctly
- Mobile preview checked - hero images, text size, button tap targets
- All product links are live and in stock
- CTA button links to the correct cart/product URL
- Any countdown timer shows the correct date
- Page loads in under 3 seconds
- UTM parameters added to all ad and email links
