# How to Add Shoppable Video to the Dawn Theme

A grid of short vertical videos, each tied to a product with its image, name, price and discount. Play automatically, on hover or on click; YouTube and Vimeo load only when clicked so several embeds never slow the page. Cards hide individually and the grid follows how many are shown. This guide shows how to add the Shoppable Video 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 shoppable video & stories like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Shoppable Video fits Dawn

Product-linked videos, story bubbles and reels that bring products to life. On Dawn, Shoppable Video 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 “Shoppable Video” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Shoppable Video & Stories 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:Shoppable Video” 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 Shoppable Video work with the Dawn theme?

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

### Will Shoppable Video 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 Shoppable Video free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Shoppable Video 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.
