Questions and answers
What is Section Marketplace?
Section Marketplace lets you buy individual, high-quality Shopify sections and add them to your theme. You do not need to buy a whole new theme — just the section you need.
Are there free sections?
Yes. Some sections are free. You still confirm them in the app (so we can add them to My Sections), but there is no Shopify charge.
Do I own the section after purchase?
Yes. Once you purchase a section, it is licensed to that Shopify store and yours to use for as long as the store is active.
Can I use the same section on multiple stores?
Each purchase is for one store. For another store, purchase again for that shop, or gift the section to them so they can accept it.
What is the difference between Add to theme and placing the section on a page?
Add to theme installs the section files into the theme you choose. You still open the theme editor, use Add section, and place it where you want on your storefront.
I already purchased a section. Why don’t I see Purchase?
If this store already owns the section, the button changes to Add to theme. Open My Sections anytime to find it again.
Can I edit the section’s code?
Yes. After it is added to your theme, go to Online Store → Themes → Edit code and change the section’s Liquid, CSS, or JavaScript as needed.
Are sections compatible with all Shopify themes?
Most sections are built for Online Store 2.0 themes. Legacy or heavily customized themes may need extra work. We recommend testing on a duplicate theme first.
Will the section keep working after I update my theme?
Usually yes. If a new theme is very different, you may need to re-add or adjust the section. Back up or note your customizations before major theme changes.
How do I get updates to a section I already bought?
When we improve a section you own, you can re-install it from the app with Add to theme. Re-installing updates the section files in that theme (same filenames are overwritten).
Do you offer refunds?
Sections are digital products delivered right away, so we generally do not offer refunds unless there is a technical issue we cannot resolve. Contact support if something is wrong.
Do you collect store or customer data?
We only keep what we need to run the app — for example your store ID and purchase history — so you can access and update sections. We do not collect your customers’ personal data. See our Privacy Policy for details.
