# How to Add Testimonials Carousel to the Impulse Theme

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

Customer reviews carousel with star ratings, customer photos, and smooth slide transitions. Navigation arrows, dot indicators, autoplay option, and touch swipe support. This guide shows how to add the Testimonials Carousel 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 Testimonials Carousel fits Impulse

Carousels, walls, marquees and video testimonials — social proof formats for every store style. On Impulse, Testimonials Carousel 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 “Testimonials Carousel” 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:Reviews Carousel” 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 Testimonials Carousel work with the Impulse theme?

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

### Will Testimonials Carousel 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 Testimonials Carousel free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Testimonials Carousel 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.
