How to add Smooth & Modern Design to the Dawn theme

Add a stylish wave effect to your store layout. The Wave Section creates natural flow between sections, giving your storefront a clean, modern, and engaging look that keeps customers scrolling. This guide shows how to add the Smooth & Modern Design 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 content & extras like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Smooth & Modern Design works on Dawn

Instagram feeds, blog highlights, galleries and handy utilities that round out your storefront. On Dawn, Smooth & Modern Design 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 Smooth & Modern Design 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 “Smooth & Modern Design” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Content & Extras 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:Wave Divider” 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.

Smooth & Modern Design on Dawn — FAQ

Does Smooth & Modern Design work with the Dawn theme?

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

Will Smooth & Modern Design 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 Smooth & Modern Design free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Smooth & Modern Design 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.
