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

How to add Image Text Overlay to Motion, step by step
- 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 Motion setup until you add a section.
- 2
Find “Image Text Overlay” in the library
Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Image with Text category — or use search.
- 3
Click “Add to theme”
Section Shop writes the section into your Motion theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Motion uses for its own sections.
- 4
Open the Motion theme editor
In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Image Text Overlay” in the picker.
- 5
Customize and save
Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Motion font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.
Image Text Overlay on Motion — FAQ
Does Image Text Overlay work with the Motion theme?
Yes. Motion is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Image Text Overlay installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Motion's theme editor as “SShop:Image Text Overlay”, alongside the theme's own sections.
Will Image Text Overlay match Motion's design?
By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Motion's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.
Is Image Text Overlay free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?
Image Text Overlay 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 Motion theme and keeps working.
