Steps
- 1
Click Export in the toolbar, then Shopify.
- 2
Hover the section you want and click it.
- 3
The panel shows a file name ending in
.liquid. Click Copy section. - 4
In Shopify, go to Online Store → Themes. Next to your theme, click ⋯ → Edit code.
- 5
In the Sections folder, click Add a new section. Name it exactly as the panel shows, without
.liquid. - 6
Select all the pre-filled code and delete it, then paste.
This is the step that matters: Shopify fills a new section with a template. Pasting under it breaks the file and it will not save.
- 7
Click Save.
- 8
Open the theme customizer (Customize), click Add section, and pick your new section.
What you get
- A theme section that shows up in the customizer.
- Its headings, text, images and links as settings you can change without code.
- Images as image pickers, with a placeholder until you choose one.
Tips
- Prefer a file? Click Download: it keeps the exact name the section must have.
- If the panel shows an amber note, read it first: it says whether the section will look right.
- It works with Shopify's own themes, Dawn and Horizon.
- Export to the same place every day? Right-click its petal in the Export fan and choose Pin to front. It then sits in the toolbar row, one click away.
