A large claim beside a tall picture, backed by a credentials list and one real customer review with a half-step star rating you enter yourself. This guide shows how to add the Media Proof 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 testimonials & reviews like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Media Proof fits Impulse

Carousels, walls, marquees and video testimonials — social proof formats for every store style. On Impulse, Media Proof 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.

## 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 Impulse setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Media Proof” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Testimonials & Reviews category — or use search.
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. **Open the Impulse theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Media Proof” in the picker.
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.

## FAQ

### Does Media Proof work with the Impulse theme?

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

### Will Media Proof 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 Media Proof free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Media Proof 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.
