How to add Social Posts to the Origin theme

Customer posts in an Instagram or Facebook style card — profile row on top, image or clip in the middle, likes, caption and hashtags below. Three per row by default. The likes and comments row is deliberately decorative: the icons are not buttons and the counts are the real numbers you type. Switch the frame setting to show vertical reels instead. This guide shows how to add the Social Posts 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 shoppable video & stories like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Social Posts works on Origin

Product-linked videos, story bubbles and reels that bring products to life. On Origin, Social Posts 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.

How to add Social Posts to Origin, step by step

  1. 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. 2

    Find “Social Posts” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Shoppable Video & Stories category — or use search.

  3. 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. 4

    Open the Origin theme editor

    In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Social Posts” in the picker.

  5. 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.

Social Posts on Origin — FAQ

Does Social Posts work with the Origin theme?

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

Will Social Posts 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 Social Posts free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Social Posts 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.

Shoppable Video & Stories

Short videos that sell, as story bubbles or vertical reels. Previews play silently while on screen; a tap opens a full-screen player with progress bars, sound, and a swipe from one video to the next, and beside each video (over it on phones) sit the products it shows — options, price and an add to cart that never leaves the video. On a product page the stories can sit right inside the product details: under or above the buy buttons, under the title or under the description, and a video left without products sells the product of the page. No external libraries.
