How to add Video Testimonials to the Motion theme

Showcase customer video reviews with thumbnails and lightbox. Play button overlay, video modal popup, customer name and title, and thumbnail grid layout. This guide shows how to add the Video Testimonials 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 Video Testimonials works on 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 Video Testimonials 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.

How to add Video Testimonials 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 “Video Testimonials” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Testimonials & Reviews 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:Video Testimonials” 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.

Video Testimonials on Motion — FAQ

Does Video Testimonials work with the Motion theme?

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

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

Video Testimonials 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.
