Strata

Sections

Configure Strata sections and their blocks.

Sections are the configurable content areas inside a Shopify template. Add, reorder, hide, or remove them in the Theme Editor without changing theme code.

Add a section

  1. Open Online Store → Themes → Customize.
  2. Select the template you want to edit.
  3. Choose Add section, then select an available Strata section.
  4. Add its content and blocks, save, and preview the result at desktop and mobile sizes.

Before using a section

  • Choose a section for its content purpose, not only its initial appearance.
  • Prepare images and video at the recommended aspect ratio once the section guide specifies it.
  • Keep headings in a logical order and provide meaningful image alt text.
  • Confirm that reordered blocks still make sense on a narrow screen.

The canonical section inventory and setting-by-setting guides will be published from the reviewed Strata schema.
