# How to Add Shoppable Reels to the Impulse Theme

> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/impulse/add-shoppable-reels/ — Section Shop, 164 free native Shopify sections. Install: https://apps.shopify.com/section-shop

A scrolling rail of vertical clips, each with a product card floating over it — price, sale price and badges all read from your catalogue. New and discount badges are calculated, never typed, in four styles and two positions. Clips play only as they scroll into view, hide individually, and the card text color adapts to stay readable on any card color. This guide shows how to add the Shoppable Reels 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 shoppable video & stories like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Shoppable Reels fits Impulse

Product-linked videos, story bubbles and reels that bring products to life. On Impulse, Shoppable Reels 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 “Shoppable Reels” 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 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:Shoppable Reels” 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 Shoppable Reels work with the Impulse theme?

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

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

Shoppable Reels 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.
