The Showcase Block displays 2 showcase images side by side on your home page. These blocks can be informational, or can link to promotional pages or products in your site. By default, the showcase block appears directly beneath the slider image on your home page, but you may change this location.
You may also create multiple version of this block that you can switch in and out. For example, to showcase a promotion for a week, make a copy of this block, modify it, and then replace the existing Home Page block with the new one. After the promotion has ended, you can restore the original.
Tip: For best results, make sure these images are the same size.
To customize the Showcase Block , first choose and add your images, then decide where you want the images to appear on your home page.

- In Magento, go to Content > Blocks.
- On the row for home-page-static-block-v1, click Select, and then click Edit.
- By default, the Block Title and Identifier are the same as the name; the block is Enabled, which means it is available to add to your Home Page, and it appears in All Store Views. You will see the current showcase images in the editor below those options. The images may be stacked rather than side by side, depending on the size or your images.
- To replace an image, click it to select, and then click the Image toolbar button.
- In the Source box, click the folder icon. From the Select Images pages that appears, choose or upload the image that you want to showcase.
- You can set the Dimensions in the Image box, but we recommend that you make sure your images are equal sizes before uploading, and then allow the browser to scale them.
- Click OK.
- To add a link, click the image, and then click the Link toolbar button.
- In the URL box, type the fully qualified URL to the page you want to link to.
- In the Title box, type the text that you want to appear when the user hovers over the text or uses your site in accessibility mode.
- If you want to open the link and replace the home page, from the Target list, select None. If you want to open in a new tab or browser window, from the Target list, select New Window.
- Click OK.
- Repeat steps 4-8 for the second image.
