How to add Slideshow 3 to the Motion theme

A slideshow whose words sit on a frosted glass card, navigated by thumbnails on a matching frosted plate. One tint drives the card, the plate and the veil, so recolouring cannot pull the three apart. A slide can carry a silent looping video instead of a photo, started only when motion is welcome. This guide shows how to add the Slideshow 3 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 hero & banners like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Slideshow 3 works on Motion

First-impression sections: hero layouts, promotional banners and rotating showcases that make visitors stop scrolling. On Motion, Slideshow 3 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 Slideshow 3 to Motion, step by step

  1. 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. 2

    Find “Slideshow 3” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Hero & Banners category — or use search.

  3. 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. 4

    Open the Motion theme editor

    In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Slideshow 3” in the picker.

  5. 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.

Slideshow 3 on Motion — FAQ

Does Slideshow 3 work with the Motion theme?

Yes. Motion is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Slideshow 3 installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Motion's theme editor as “SShop:Slideshow 3”, alongside the theme's own sections.

Will Slideshow 3 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 Slideshow 3 free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Slideshow 3 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.

A sign-up band with an offer: a heading, three perks with a tick, the email field and the button, a photo beside it if you like. Subscribers get the newsletter tag; the thank-you shows in place.

Hero & Banners

A gallery wall: each photograph sits in a mat and a frame, hung in a row that recedes to either side of the one in front. Navigation is a brass plaque with the piece number and a row of tick marks, the way a wall label works. Hangs flat by default, and leans as far as you want it to.

Coverflow 1

Hero & Banners

A leaning deck of cards: one in front, its neighbours fanned out behind and shrinking with distance. Each card carries a signed offset from the centre as a CSS custom property and one transform rule reads it, so moving the deck rewrites numbers rather than markup. Clicking a card behind brings it forward.
