# How to Add Testimonials Grid to the Motion Theme

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

Static grid layout for testimonials with hover effects. Customizable columns (2-4), star ratings, customer info, and subtle lift animation on hover. This guide shows how to add the Testimonials Grid 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 testimonials & reviews like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Testimonials Grid fits Motion

Carousels, walls, marquees and video testimonials — social proof formats for every store style. For Motion specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: video testimonials and ugc-style proof, and Testimonials Grid fills that gap while inheriting Motion's typography automatically, so it looks native from the first save. Video Testimonials next to Motion’s animated sections keeps the whole page moving without feeling chaotic.

## 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 “Testimonials Grid” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Testimonials & Reviews 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:Testimonials Grid” 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 Testimonials Grid work with the Motion theme?

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

### Will Testimonials Grid 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 Testimonials Grid free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Testimonials Grid 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.
