Custom Shopify
Sections

Custom Shopify sections are the backbone of a modern online store. They make every page editable, letting merchants shape layouts without touching code. Mgroup designs and builds Online Store 2.0 sections tuned for your brand, your conversion patterns, and your team's editor workflow.

Why custom

Why Go Beyond Default Themes?

Shopify's base themes provide a strong start, but prebuilt blocks can only go so far. Custom sections target your brand, your products, and your conversion patterns — bundles, lookbooks, configurators, comparison tables, and campaign-ready blocks that default themes simply don't ship.

Examples of What We Build

We build the section types that move revenue and brand storytelling: hero / slider, product showcases, FAQ blocks, testimonials, landing modules, and contact forms. Plus campaign-ready blocks — bundles, configurators, comparison tables, image+text storytelling, and split heroes — designed for your store's specific buyer.

02 — Editor-friendly

Easy Editing, Smarter Integration

Our goal is to make Shopify storefront customization simple for merchants and marketing teams. Every section ships with a clear schema — text, color, alignment, image and video pickers, and links — and connects to product, variant, collection, and shop-level metafields so dynamic content updates without code.

Performance is built in: lazy loading, scoped CSS, minimal JS, and no third-party page-builder bloat. Brand and conversion are designed in from day one — every store has its own rhythm and visual story.

Tech we build with

The OS 2.0 tech behind every Mgroup section

The schema, blocks, app blocks, metafields, and section group concepts that make Mgroup sections editor-friendly, performant, and reusable.

Section schema

Liquid {% schema %} declares editable settings — text, color, image, link, range. Merchants edit; developers stay out.

Blocks

Repeatable child elements inside a section. Add, remove, reorder — for slide cards, FAQ items, testimonials, feature lists.

App blocks

Sections that accept content blocks from installed Shopify apps — reviews, search, upsell — without touching theme code.

JSON templates

Page-level config files defining section order. Merchants reorder sections per template — no redeploy needed.

Metafields

Custom data on products, variants, collections — size charts, ingredients, B2B tiers — surfaced in section UI without app installs.

Settings UI

The schema you write defines the form merchants see — toggles, dropdowns, color pickers, range sliders. Editor UX matters.

Capabilities

Custom Shopify section capabilities

Six production-grade section categories — from homepage heroes to PDP modules, collection merchandising, footer CTAs, app block sections, and reusable libraries. Each one ships with editor controls, schema docs, and CWV-safe markup. Every section is built natively on the Shopify platform (Online Store 2.0). For enterprise and Shopify Plus stores, sections support localization — localized content and market-specific banners managed from one dashboard across multi-store setups.

Homepage sections

Hero sliders, featured collections, brand stories, press marquees, newsletter signups, lookbook tiles, and split editorial blocks.

PDP sections

Product stories, ingredient lists, size guides, variant configurators, FAQ blocks, comparison tables — wired to metafields.

Collection & merchandising sections

Filterable grids, promotional tiles, swatch pickers, sort controls, tabbed collections, lookbook overlays — built for browse-to-PDP CR.

Footer & CTA sections

Newsletter signups, value-prop trust bars, sticky CTA bars, FAQ accordions, content footers — the trust signals that close hesitant buyers.

App block sections

Sections with app block slots — reviews, search, upsell, subscription widgets — apps drop in without theme code edits.

Section libraries

A reusable kit of 10–30 sections, documented, with editor presets — the foundation your team can ship campaigns on for years.

FAQ

FAQ for Custom Shopify Sections

What are custom Shopify sections?

Reusable content blocks designed for a specific Shopify store — they slot into any Online Store 2.0 template so merchants can build, reorder, and edit pages without touching code.

Why do I need custom Shopify sections if my theme already has sections?

Default theme sections serve every merchant. Custom sections target your specific brand, products, and conversion patterns — bundles, lookbooks, comparison tables, configurators, and campaign-ready blocks that default themes can't ship.

Will my custom sections work with Online Store 2.0?

Yes — every section we build is OS 2.0 compatible, with schema, blocks, app blocks, and metafields support. They work in the native theme editor and on every template.

Can you build sections for existing themes?

Yes — we extend existing themes with new sections, and we also build sections as part of a ground-up theme build.

Will custom Shopify sections slow down my store?

No — properly built sections use lazy loading, minimal JS, and CSS scoped to the section. They tend to outperform third-party page-builder sections by a wide margin.

Can you connect custom sections to metafields?

Yes — sections can read product, variant, collection, and shop-level metafields. Editors can plug in dynamic content without code.

How does your Shopify section development process work?

Consultation, design, prototyping, development on Online Store 2.0, testing, then deployment and editor training. Documented and handed off.

Can I reuse the same section across different pages?

Yes — sections are designed to be reusable across home, collection, product, blog, and content pages.

Do you work only with Shopify?

Yes — Mgroup is a Shopify-focused agency. Every section is built around Shopify's section schema, app blocks, and merchandising controls.

How do you price custom Shopify sections?

Pricing depends on complexity and the number of sections — a single advanced section, a section library, or a full theme refit. We scope and quote up front.

Do you work only with Shopify, or with other platforms too?

Our team is specialized in Shopify Section Development and custom theme work, which means faster delivery, fewer bugs, and sections that actually behave correctly inside the Shopify ecosystem.
