Store designing is the most important phase for any eCommerce business<\/a>. It’s because the storefront helps online shoppers decide whether to trust the store or not. To make store designing and customization more interesting and efficient, Shopify has upgraded its theme editor with the Shopify Section and blocks<\/strong>. Here, we\u2019ll learn more about the sections & blocks and also see how to add dynamic content to the theme templates using the \u201cShopify Section Blocks\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, Shopify themes come with a default layout. You just need to fill in the right content and add the links for navigation. But with the help of Shopify sections and blocks, you can personalize the theme layout to match your desired storefront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dig more into the topic to understand the right use of the Shopify Sections and blocks to improve the user experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction to Shopify Section<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shopify Section gives you access to a specific area in the theme template with some customization options. A theme template (of any page) is a collection of one or more sections that allow you to design the layout of an entire page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When customizing any section, you have control over various settings and input options like text box, image picker, custom HTML, and so on. Shopify offers different types of sections like slideshow, collage, featured products, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shopify Section Blocks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now, these sections are made up of multiple small components known as \u201cBlocks\u201d. Based on the type of section we create, we can add different types of blocks inside the section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s see which in-built sections and blocks are available in the Shopify theme to customize<\/a> the page template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
