How to add Back to Top to the Dawn theme

Enhance your store’s browsing experience with a simple “Back to Top” button. Smooth, user-friendly navigation helps customers explore your site with ease. This guide shows how to add the Back to Top section to the Dawn theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Dawn's code. Dawn is a free theme by Shopify, known for speed, minimalism, being the Online Store 2.0 reference — and content & extras like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Back to Top works on Dawn

Instagram feeds, blog highlights, galleries and handy utilities that round out your storefront. On Dawn, Back to Top slots in like any built-in section: it inherits the theme's fonts by default, picks up your color choices in the editor, and lives alongside Dawn's own sections in the picker — prefixed "SShop:" so it's easy to spot.

How to add Back to Top to Dawn, 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 Dawn setup until you add a section.

  2. 2

    Find “Back to Top” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Content & Extras category — or use search.

  3. 3

    Click “Add to theme”

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

  4. 4

    Open the Dawn theme editor

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

  5. 5

    Customize and save

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

Back to Top on Dawn — FAQ

Does Back to Top work with the Dawn theme?

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

Will Back to Top match Dawn's design?

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

Is Back to Top free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Back to Top is free, like every section in the 56-section library. Once added it's a standard theme file: if you uninstall the app, the section stays in your Dawn theme and keeps working.
