How to Build Custom Sections in a Shopify Theme

Custom sections are the building blocks of a flexible Shopify store. They turn a rigid theme into a page builder your team actually enjoys using — no code required to rearrange content.

What is a section?

A section is a Liquid file with a schema that exposes settings and blocks. Once built, merchants can add, remove and reorder sections from the theme editor across the homepage, product pages, collections and more (thanks to Online Store 2.0). Well-built sections give flexibility without ever touching code again.

What makes a good section

  • Clear, sensible settings with good defaults.
  • Reusable blocks so content can repeat and reorder.
  • Clean, fast markup — no bloat.
  • Responsive out of the box.

Why it matters for merchants

Custom sections mean you are never stuck waiting on a developer for small content changes. Launch a new campaign, feature a product, or restructure a page yourself — in minutes. That independence is one of the biggest benefits of a properly built theme.
