How to use sections

When adding sections to the default product template, the sections and their content will appear on all your product pages.

To provide unique content for certain products, create a new template and assign a product to that template. All products using that template will have the same section content but will be different from the default template. Always create new templates on the live published theme for them to appear as options in your product setup.

Another method is to use Shopify's insert dynamic source option (metafields) to blocks and then customize content for each product in your product setup.

When adding a section to a certain template. The same content will appear on all pages that are also using that template.

You can create additional templates such as a new page template or collection template and then assign a page or collection to that new template. This will allow you to create multiple pages with different content.

Experiment with creating and customizing new templates in the Theme Editor. As a second step, remember to assign that template to a certain page or collection.

For example, create a new collection template to display a different layout and include different sections. Then in the Shopify Admin under Products -> Collections, choose your collection and assign the newly created template to that collection.

🚨 Important tip: New templates must be created on the published theme. They will not appear as a template option for assignments if created in a draft theme. This is a Shopify Platform restriction. Always make new templates on the live published theme.
