How to add Slideshow 2 to the Dawn theme

An editorial slideshow: a rotated category label down the edge, a slide counter, and an optional product card pinned to the corner. Pick a product and the card fills itself in, or override any field by hand. Each slide declares whether its photo is light or dark, which moves the text colour and the veil together. This guide shows how to add the Slideshow 2 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 hero & banners like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Slideshow 2 works on Dawn

First-impression sections: hero layouts, promotional banners and rotating showcases that make visitors stop scrolling. On Dawn, Slideshow 2 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 Slideshow 2 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 “Slideshow 2” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Hero & Banners 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:Slideshow 2” 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.

Slideshow 2 on Dawn — FAQ

Does Slideshow 2 work with the Dawn theme?

Yes. Dawn is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Slideshow 2 installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Dawn's theme editor as “SShop:Slideshow 2”, alongside the theme's own sections.

Will Slideshow 2 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 Slideshow 2 free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Slideshow 2 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.

Hero & Banners

A sign-up band with an offer: a heading, three perks with a tick, the email field and the button, a photo beside it if you like. Subscribers get the newsletter tag; the thank-you shows in place.

Coverflow 2

Hero & Banners

A gallery wall: each photograph sits in a mat and a frame, hung in a row that recedes to either side of the one in front. Navigation is a brass plaque with the piece number and a row of tick marks, the way a wall label works. Hangs flat by default, and leans as far as you want it to.

Coverflow 1

Hero & Banners

A leaning deck of cards: one in front, its neighbours fanned out behind and shrinking with distance. Each card carries a signed offset from the centre as a CSS custom property and one transform rule reads it, so moving the deck rewrites numbers rather than markup. Clicking a card behind brings it forward.
