How to add Product Gallery to the Dawn theme

Product with image gallery and thumbnails. Main image display with thumbnail navigation, zoom on hover, and product info section with price and CTA. This guide shows how to add the Product Gallery 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 product showcases like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Product Gallery works on Dawn

Galleries, spec tables, bundles and ingredient breakdowns that give product pages the detail buyers look for. On Dawn, Product Gallery 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 Product Gallery 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 “Product Gallery” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Product Showcases 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:Product Gallery” 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.

Product Gallery on Dawn — FAQ

Does Product Gallery work with the Dawn theme?

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

Will Product Gallery 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 Product Gallery free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Product Gallery 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 Dawn theme and keeps working.

Product Callouts 1

Product Showcases

One photo in the middle and the reasons to buy set around it, half on each side, each with an icon from the shared set or your own, a title and a line of text. On a product page the photo can be the product's own until you pick another, and on phones the callouts fall into a tidy grid under the picture.

Product Tiles 1

Product Showcases

Three tall tiles, each carrying one product under a big display word. The photo flips on hover when a second one is set, and the caption trades places with the buy button. On a phone the caption can sit on the photo or under it, and the text is contrast-checked for whichever you choose.

Product Banner 2

Product Showcases

The restrained treatment of the same shape: a light banner, one button per card, no glow, and the arrows on the banner itself rather than in a strip under the row. A lit seam is drawn where the cards meet the banner, so the overlap reads as placed rather than cropped.
