A picture beside the claims that close a sale: an optional star rating you enter yourself, then rows pairing what a product does with what it gets the customer. This guide shows how to add the Media Specs 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 Media Specs fits Origin

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

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

### Will Media Specs 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 Media Specs free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Media Specs 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.
