Online store features

You can add features to any page of your online store, using sections. You can choose, add, and configure sections with images, text, brand colors, and more.

Some pages will have default sections, such as the announcement bar, the header, and the footer. These sections appear on every page.

All themes by Shopify include the Online Store features detailed on this page. Additionally, paid themes might also include some of these features. For more details, refer to the support guide for your specific theme.
