Understanding the Shopify theme editor

Merchant

Sections, blocks and settings - the three ideas behind every Shopify theme.

Every one of our themes is built from sections (self-contained blocks of a page), which can contain blocks (repeatable items inside a section), each with settings you control from the editor.

  • Sections - e.g. a Hero Banner or a Featured Collection. Add, remove and reorder them.
  • Blocks - e.g. individual slides inside a Hero Banner.
  • Settings - text, images, colors and toggles for a section or block.
