# How to Add Smooth & Modern Design to the Impulse Theme

> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/impulse/add-smooth-and-modern-design/ — Section Shop, 56 free native Shopify sections. Install: https://apps.shopify.com/section-shop

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 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 content & extras like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Smooth & Modern Design fits Impulse

Instagram feeds, blog highlights, galleries and handy utilities that round out your storefront. On Impulse, 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 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 “Smooth & Modern Design” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Content & Extras 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:Wave Divider” 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 Smooth & Modern Design work with the Impulse theme?

Yes. Impulse 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 Impulse's theme editor as “SShop:Wave Divider”, alongside the theme's own sections.

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

Smooth & Modern Design is free, like every section in the 56-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.
