Heading

Headings should:

• Clearly describe the section of interface they refer to
• Highlight the most important concept or piece of information merchants need to know
• Sit at the top of the section of interface they’re referring to

Heading

Headings should be:

• Informative and descriptive:
  • They should label the type of content grouped in the interface below
• Concise and scannable:
  • Use simple, clear language that can be read at a glance
  • Keep headings to single sentence and avoid using punctuation such as periods, commas, or semicolons
  • Avoid articles (the, a, an) in microcopy headings to keep content short and actionable
  • Write in sentence case (first word capitalized, the rest is lowercase)

Microcopy headings should be easy for merchants to scan and understand instantly.

Conversational headings for areas like empty states and home cards are the only cases where you should use articles.

• To break up a section with a heading into sub-sections, use the subheading component
