How to add Editorial Story to the Impulse theme

A magazine-style spread: a large heading with an italic accent beside one picture or clip. The image can link anywhere, and you choose its side on desktop and its position on mobile independently. This guide shows how to add the Editorial Story section to the Impulse theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Impulse's code. Impulse is a premium theme by Archetype Themes, known for promotion-driven layouts and sales events — and image with text like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Editorial Story works on Impulse

Story-telling layouts pairing visuals with copy — splits, overlays, zigzags and card grids for brand and product stories. On Impulse, Editorial Story 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 Impulse's own sections in the picker — prefixed "SShop:" so it's easy to spot.

How to add Editorial Story to Impulse, 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 Impulse setup until you add a section.

  2. 2

    Find “Editorial Story” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Image with Text category — or use search.

  3. 3

    Click “Add to theme”

    Section Shop writes the section into your Impulse theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Impulse uses for its own sections.

  4. 4

    Open the Impulse theme editor

    In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Editorial Story” in the picker.

  5. 5

    Customize and save

    Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Impulse font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

Editorial Story on Impulse — FAQ

Does Editorial Story work with the Impulse theme?

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

Will Editorial Story match Impulse's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Impulse's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.

Is Editorial Story free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Editorial Story 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 Impulse theme and keeps working.
