Why I built this

Most themes don't come with a description section. They only let you output the product description in a block, at the top-right of the page amongst the buy buttons and other info. 

That's a problem if you have a really long description. It takes up too much space. 

I prefer to have a short summary at the top, and then a longer, detailed description as a full-width section lower on the page. That's what this section does. And I'm using it right here on this page!

This section outputs the main "Description" field from your product admin page. This is not a richtext section, nor is it some kind of secondary description.

Also use it on collection pages

You can also use this section for your collection pages. It will output your collection description.

Most themes will output your collection description at the top - above your product grid. The problem with this is that if it's too long it pushes the products down the page. But a longer description is the best thing for SEO!

Using this section you can instead display a quick summary at the top (using a richtext section), and output your main description below the product grid, making it as long and content-rich as you want.

What you get

You will receive an email with a link to the code & instructions file.

It is hosted online (using Notion) so that I can update the code at any time and you will always see the latest version.

Simply bookmark the link if you need to revisit it. 

Easy Install

1. Go to your Themes page and click "Edit Code".

2. Click "Add a new section" under the sections folder.

3. Paste in the code and save.

Now you can find the section in your theme customizer.

FAQ's

Will this work on my theme?

My sections are compatible with all themes, as long as you've updated your theme since June 2021. This is when Shopify 2.0 came out and introduced draggable "sections".

If your theme does not have sections that you can drag around on product pages, then you should probably update - you are missing out on lots of useful features.

Can I use sections below the buy buttons / next to product images?

Before buying please read about the difference between Sections and Blocks in Shopify.

All my sections take up the full-width of the page.

All my blocks are to be added inside of the product info section (top-right of product page) next to the images and above/below buy buttons.

Why use Ed's sections instead of apps?

No monthly fees. Buy it once and own it for life. Unlimited access to updated versions.

Built into your theme editor. Edit everything in one place using the native Shopify interface, not a separate app screen.

Lightweight. Shopify apps will slow down your store. Sections & Blocks using native Shopify code will not. 

Seamless design. Apps sometimes stand out. A built-in solution will look like part of your theme, be less buggy, and feel faster. 

What about theme updates? Will the code be carried over?

No. When you update your theme and a new copy is installed on your store, you will need to re-install the code on the new copy.

Any metafields you set up will continue to work on the new theme.
