Which themes work with Section Store?
Which themes work with sections, Conversion Blocks, bundles, the cart drawer and AI Pages, and what to do after a theme change.
Section Store works with Online Store 2.0 themes. That covers Shopify's free themes like Dawn and Horizon, and most paid themes. Vintage themes can't use Conversion Blocks or AI Pages. Headless stores can't use bundles or the cart drawer.
By feature
| Feature | What it needs |
|---|---|
| Sections | Any Shopify theme. Older themes may only take sections on the home page. |
| Conversion Blocks | An Online Store 2.0 theme. The section must accept app blocks. |
| Bundles | An Online Store 2.0 theme, through the Bundles app embed or the Bundle block. The embed also knows Shopify's older free themes. |
| Cart Drawer | A Shopify Online Store theme, with the Cart drawer app embed on. |
| AI Pages | An Online Store 2.0 theme. |
Themes we know by name
- Bundles: the embed knows the Dawn and Horizon families, older free themes and many paid themes, including Impact, Prestige, Focal, Warehouse, Impulse, Motion, Empire and Symmetry.
- Cart Drawer: it has its own handling for Horizon, Prestige, Flux, Concept, Symmetry and Turbo, and a general rule for other themes.
- Conversion Blocks: Horizon and its sibling themes have built-in support.
An unknown theme usually works too. If a bundle lands in the wrong place, add the Bundle block by hand in the theme editor.
After you change theme
App embeds and sections belong to one theme.
- Open the new theme in the theme editor.
- Open App embeds and turn on Cart drawer and Bundles.
- Add your Conversion Blocks again if they didn't carry over.
- Click Save.
Only your live theme counts. An embed turned on in an unpublished copy does nothing yet.
To move sections between themes, use Theme Migrator under Help & Resources. It can't copy into your live theme. Copy into an unpublished theme, then publish it.
What we can't do
- Vintage themes: they have no app block slots on the product page.
- Headless storefronts, such as Hydrogen: bundles and the cart drawer need an Online Store theme.
- Heavily edited themes: they may need help from us. Open the chat bubble in the app or email [email protected].
