Section Shop vs PageFly — FAQ
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?
Section Shop wins when your theme is already good and you just want polished, native sections in it — free, edited in the theme editor you already know. PageFly wins when you need to design entire custom pages from a blank canvas and A/B test them inside one builder. 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?
PageFly offers a limited free plan; paid plans start at about $24/month, and unlimited publishing costs about $99/month (public pricing at the time of writing). A subscription covers one store. Section Shop is free to install and every section in its 56-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?
Section Shop sections are self-contained Liquid and CSS installed as native theme files — no external scripts, no iframes, nothing loaded from third-party servers on your storefront. PageFly, like any page builder, renders pages through its own layer, so weight depends on how its pages are built and optimized.
What happens to my pages if I uninstall PageFly — or Section Shop?
Sections added by Section Shop are standard theme files: uninstall the app and they stay in your theme and keep working. 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. The two don't conflict, since Section Shop only adds regular sections to your theme.
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: 56 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.
