Overview
Sections are the top-level building blocks of your store's pages. Each section is a full-width container that holds content blocks. In the Shopify theme editor, you add sections to your pages and then fill them with blocks.
Section Settings
Most sections in Mind end with the same two groups of settings: Appearance and Padding. They control the color scheme, what sits behind the section's content, and how much space the section takes above and below. You find them at the bottom of the section's settings panel in the theme editor, after the settings that are specific to that section. A handful of sections add a third shared group, Separator, that draws a line along the section's edge.
Section Presets
Mind includes a generic Section that accepts any theme block and app block. It is the blank canvas of the theme: you drop in layouts, groups, headings, text, images, buttons, and any other theme block to build a layout that none of the ready-made sections cover.
Page Templates
Mind ships 34 page templates (JSON) plus a gift card template. A template defines which sections a page starts with and in what order. You can edit any template in the theme editor, and you can create further variants of your own from the same starting points.
Header & Footer
These sections make up the global navigation, branding, and utility areas of your store. Most of them live in section groups rather than on individual pages, so they appear on every page once you configure them. Mind ships 1 header, 4 mega menus, and 1 footer, plus an announcement bar, a predictive search panel, a breadcrumb, a floating sidebar, and a mobile tab navigator.
Hero Sections
Hero sections are full-width, high-impact openers designed for the top of your pages. You find them under the Banners category when you add a section. Mind includes 14 hero sections: slideshows and carousels for the home page, editorial banners for About and landing pages, and a page title header for collections, blogs, and other pages.
Collection Sections
Collection sections help visitors browse your catalog by collection, from compact circle rows and text lists to marquees, hover showcases, and a stacked product list for collection pages. Mind includes 6 collection sections. Each also has the universal color scheme, background, and padding controls described in Section Settings, so this page only lists what is specific to each section.
Product Sections
Product sections cover every way of showing products outside the main product page thirteen sections you can add to pages and three overlay sections that live in the Overlay section group. The main product section is documented with the product templates in Page Templates.
Promotion Sections
Promotion sections turn browsing into buying: product bundles that add to the cart in one click, time-limited offers with a live countdown, subscription pricing, and a closing call to action. Mind includes 5 promotion sections. Each also has the universal color scheme, background, and padding controls described in Section Settings.
Content Sections
Content sections carry the informational parts of your store: text blocks, benefit lists, FAQs, contact details, newsletter sign-ups, and blog teasers. Mind includes 15 content sections. Every one of them shares the universal color scheme, background, and padding controls described in Section Settings, so this page only lists what is specific to each section.
Editorial Sections
Editorial sections tell your brand story. They pair large type with images, milestones, numbers, and people, so they suit About pages, landing pages, and the narrative parts of a home page. Mind includes 14 editorial sections. All of them share the universal color scheme, background, and padding controls described in Section Settings.
Service Sections
Service sections present what you offer and how you deliver it, from a grid of service cards to step-by-step process layouts. Mind includes 7 service sections. Each one shares the universal section settings for color scheme, background, and padding.
Media Sections
Media sections put imagery and video at the center of the page, from single banners and marquee galleries to collages, shoppable hotspots, and embedded video. Mind includes 12 media sections. Most of them appear under Image & Media in the section picker, and each one except Image scroll horizontal shares the universal section settings for color scheme, background, and padding.
Testimonial Sections
Testimonial sections add social proof from your customers, from image-led quotes to before-and-after results. Mind includes 4 testimonial sections. Each one shares the universal section settings for color scheme, background, and padding.
Popup Sections
Popup sections show overlay content on top of the page. Mind includes 4 popup sections. They live in the Popup section group, which appears on every page, instead of in the page's own section list. Open Online Store > Themes > Customize, find the Popup group in the sidebar, and add the popup you want. The group is empty by default.
Combo bundle
Group several products into a bundle that customers can add to their cart in one click. Use it to sell a set, such as a starter kit or a gift box, at a bundle price.
