# How to Add FAQ Accordion to the Dawn Theme

> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/dawn/add-faq-accordion/ — Section Shop, 56 free native Shopify sections. Install: https://apps.shopify.com/section-shop

Expandable/collapsible FAQ items with smooth animations. Classic accordion style with plus/minus icons, hover effects, and customizable question/answer backgrounds. This guide shows how to add the FAQ Accordion 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 faq sections like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why FAQ Accordion fits Dawn

Accordions, tabs, searchable lists and two-column layouts that kill pre-purchase doubts and cut support tickets. On Dawn, FAQ Accordion 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.

## Steps

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. **Find “FAQ Accordion” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the FAQ Sections category — or use search.
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. **Open the Dawn theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:FAQ Accordion” in the picker.
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.

## FAQ

### Does FAQ Accordion work with the Dawn theme?

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

### Will FAQ Accordion 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 FAQ Accordion free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

FAQ Accordion 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.
