# How to Add Image Text Split to the Motion Theme

> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/motion/add-image-text-split/ — Section Shop, 56 free native Shopify sections. Install: https://apps.shopify.com/section-shop

Classic 50/50 split layout with image on one side and text content on the other. Features reversible image position, feature list with checkmarks, customizable CTA button, and smooth responsive behavior. This guide shows how to add the Image Text Split section to the Motion theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Motion's code. Motion is a premium theme by Archetype Themes, known for animation and video-first product pages — and image with text like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Image Text Split fits Motion

Story-telling layouts pairing visuals with copy — splits, overlays, zigzags and card grids for brand and product stories. On Motion, Image Text Split 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.

## 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 Motion setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Image Text Split” 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 Split” 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.

## FAQ

### Does Image Text Split work with the Motion theme?

Yes. Motion is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Image Text Split 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 Split”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Image Text Split 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 Split free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Image Text Split 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.
