# How to Add Smooth & Modern Design to the Motion Theme

> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/motion/add-smooth-and-modern-design/ — Section Shop, 56 free native Shopify sections. Install: https://apps.shopify.com/section-shop

Add a stylish wave effect to your store layout. The Wave Section creates natural flow between sections, giving your storefront a clean, modern, and engaging look that keeps customers scrolling. This guide shows how to add the Smooth & Modern Design 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 content & extras like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Smooth & Modern Design fits Motion

Instagram feeds, blog highlights, galleries and handy utilities that round out your storefront. On Motion, Smooth & Modern Design 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 “Smooth & Modern Design” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Content & Extras 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:Wave Divider” 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 Smooth & Modern Design work with the Motion theme?

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

### Will Smooth & Modern Design 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 Smooth & Modern Design free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Smooth & Modern Design 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.
