What is the main difference between Section Shop and PageFly?
PageFly is a page builder: you design entire pages inside its own editor, and those pages are managed by the app. Section Shop does a different job — it adds ready-made native Online Store 2.0 sections to the theme you already run. You keep your theme, your pages and your editor; the sections appear in Shopify's theme editor and inherit your theme's fonts automatically.
Is PageFly or Section Shop better for Shopify?
Compare PageFly with Section Shop for your actual workflow. Section Shop offers native sections and ready-made page templates, product blocks, and beta bundle and cart drawer tools. Neither replaces the other for every store: the honest answer depends on whether your next project is a standalone custom page or a better storefront on your current theme.
How much does PageFly cost compared with Section Shop?
Plans, feature limits and prices change. Check the provider’s current listing before deciding. Section Shop is free to install and every section in its 164-section library is free today — there is no subscription, no per-section charge, and the app carries Shopify's Built for Shopify badge.
Will Section Shop or PageFly slow my store down?
Performance depends on the layouts, images, videos and app features you enable. Section Shop installs native theme sections and also offers app-powered tools. Compare both apps on your own theme and measure the finished page on mobile before publishing.
What happens to my pages if I uninstall PageFly — or Section Shop?
Sections added by Section Shop are standard theme files: they remain in your theme after uninstall. App-powered blocks, bundles and Cart Drawer still require the app. With PageFly: pages are managed through the app and depend on it.
Can I use Section Shop and PageFly together?
Yes, and many stores do: keep PageFly for dedicated campaign pages, and use Section Shop's free sections to upgrade the theme itself — home page, product pages, FAQ. Test overlapping features before publishing, especially cart drawers and offers.
Who should choose Section Shop instead of PageFly?
Choose Section Shop if you want your existing theme to look custom without a page-builder subscription or a second editor: 164 free sections, one-click installs, native theme-editor customization, fonts inherited from your theme, and sections that remain yours after uninstall. PageFly remains the better fit for: full drag-and-drop control over entire pages, down to the pixel.
