How to add Editorial Story to the Craft theme

A magazine-style spread: a large heading with an italic accent beside one picture or clip. The image can link anywhere, and you choose its side on desktop and its position on mobile independently. This guide shows how to add the Editorial Story section to the Craft theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Craft's code. Craft is a free theme by Shopify, known for craftsmanship feel, warm minimalism — and image with text like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Editorial Story works on Craft

Story-telling layouts pairing visuals with copy — splits, overlays, zigzags and card grids for brand and product stories. For Craft specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: few options to show the making process, and Editorial Story fills that gap while inheriting Craft's typography automatically, so it looks native from the first save. Use a zigzag Image with Text to walk through your process step by step — Craft’s typography makes it read like a story.

How to add Editorial Story to Craft, step by step

  1. 1

    Install Section Shop (free)

    Add the app from the Shopify App Store. It's free, carries the Built for Shopify badge, and changes nothing in your Craft setup until you add a section.

  2. 2

    Find “Editorial Story” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Image with Text category — or use search.

  3. 3

    Click “Add to theme”

    Section Shop writes the section into your Craft theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Craft uses for its own sections.

  4. 4

    Open the Craft theme editor

    In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Editorial Story” in the picker.

  5. 5

    Customize and save

    Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Craft font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

Editorial Story on Craft — FAQ

Does Editorial Story work with the Craft theme?

Yes. Craft is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Editorial Story installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Craft's theme editor as “SShop:Editorial Story”, alongside the theme's own sections.

Will Editorial Story match Craft's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Craft's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.

Is Editorial Story free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Editorial Story is free, like every section in the 164-section library. Once added it's a standard theme file: if you uninstall the app, the section stays in your Craft theme and keeps working.
