# How to Add Collection Grid to the Origin Theme

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

Replaces your theme's own product grid on a collection page: products, sorting and pagination, with the caption rows built from blocks you can reorder or remove. Every card in a row shares an identical height, photo bottom, name top and button top, because the vendor and rating rows are decided once for the whole grid rather than card by card. This guide shows how to add the Collection Grid section to the Origin theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Origin's code. Origin is a free theme by Shopify, known for bold type and product-first structure — and collection showcases like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Collection Grid fits Origin

Collection cards, circles and editorial grids to help shoppers find their next favorite. On Origin, Collection Grid 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 Origin'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 Origin setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Collection Grid” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Collection Showcases category — or use search.
3. **Click “Add to theme”** — Section Shop writes the section into your Origin theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Origin uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Origin theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Collection Grid” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Origin font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Collection Grid work with the Origin theme?

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

### Will Collection Grid match Origin's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Origin's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.

### Is Collection Grid free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Collection Grid 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 Origin theme and keeps working.
