# How to Add Ingredient Tabs to the Origin Theme

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

A tab bar that swaps both the picture and the copy: one panel per ingredient, material or step, each with its own credential line, reason and link. Full keyboard navigation. This guide shows how to add the Ingredient Tabs 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 Ingredient Tabs fits Origin

Story-telling layouts pairing visuals with copy — splits, overlays, zigzags and card grids for brand and product stories. On Origin, Ingredient Tabs 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 “Ingredient Tabs” 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:Ingredient Tabs” 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 Ingredient Tabs work with the Origin theme?

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

### Will Ingredient Tabs 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 Ingredient Tabs free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Ingredient Tabs 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.
