Working with blocks

Blocks are customizable modules that make up the content inside each section of your store’s pages. With blocks, you can easily add and rearrange elements like text, images, links, and buttons. This makes it simple to tailor your storefront and create a unique shopping experience that fits your brand.

Our themes fully utilize the latest Shopify features. This gives you powerful and flexible options to build the exact storefront you want. Some sections let you pick from specific block types created by our team, while others give you the freedom to choose any available block.

Each section has a set maximum number of blocks you can add. When this limit is reached, you will see a message and the + Add block button will become unavailable until you remove an existing block.

💡 Tip: Blocks are user-friendly and make it simple to customize your store’s look and feel. Our advanced themes give you creative control and the most flexible layouts — all without needing to code.
