Feature cards with images in a grid layout. Image at top, title, description, and optional link. Customizable columns, hover animations, and rounded corners. This guide shows how to add the Features Cards 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 feature highlights like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Features Cards fits Dawn

Icon grids, cards and numbered steps that turn product benefits into scannable, convincing layouts. On Dawn, Features Cards 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 “Features Cards” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Feature Highlights 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:Features Cards” 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 Features Cards work with the Dawn theme?

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

### Will Features Cards 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 Features Cards free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Features Cards 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.
