# How to Add Ingredient Tabs to the Motion Theme

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

A tab bar that swaps both the picture and the copy: one panel per ingredient, material or step, each with its own credential line, reason and link. Full keyboard navigation. This guide shows how to add the Ingredient Tabs 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 Ingredient Tabs fits Motion

Story-telling layouts pairing visuals with copy — splits, overlays, zigzags and card grids for brand and product stories. On Motion, Ingredient Tabs 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 “Ingredient Tabs” 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:Ingredient Tabs” 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 Ingredient Tabs work with the Motion theme?

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

### Will Ingredient Tabs 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 Ingredient Tabs free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Ingredient Tabs 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 Motion theme and keeps working.
