# How to Add Image Text Split to the Origin Theme

> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/origin/add-image-text-split/ — Section Shop, 56 free native Shopify sections. Install: https://apps.shopify.com/section-shop

Classic 50/50 split layout with image on one side and text content on the other. Features reversible image position, feature list with checkmarks, customizable CTA button, and smooth responsive behavior. This guide shows how to add the Image Text Split 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 image with text like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Image Text Split fits Origin

Story-telling layouts pairing visuals with copy — splits, overlays, zigzags and card grids for brand and product stories. On Origin, Image Text Split 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 Text Split” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Image with Text 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 Text Split” 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 Text Split work with the Origin theme?

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

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

Image Text Split 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 Origin theme and keeps working.
