Copy and a checklist beside a grid of photos that rearranges itself around how many there are, from one to a full gallery. Every photo takes its own caption and link. This guide shows how to add the Image Collage 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 content & extras like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Image Collage fits Origin

Instagram feeds, blog highlights, galleries and handy utilities that round out your storefront. On Origin, Image Collage 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 “Image Collage” 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 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:Image Collage” 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 Image Collage work with the Origin theme?

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

### Will Image Collage 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 Image Collage free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Image Collage 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.
