How to add FAQ Side Navigation to the Refresh theme

FAQ with left sidebar navigation for categories. Sticky sidebar with category links, smooth scroll to sections, and active state highlighting on scroll. This guide shows how to add the FAQ Side Navigation section to the Refresh theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Refresh's code. Refresh is a free theme by Shopify, known for editorial layouts and generous whitespace — and faq sections like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why FAQ Side Navigation works on Refresh

Accordions, tabs, searchable lists and two-column layouts that kill pre-purchase doubts and cut support tickets. On Refresh, FAQ Side Navigation 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 Refresh's own sections in the picker — prefixed "SShop:" so it's easy to spot.

How to add FAQ Side Navigation to Refresh, 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 Refresh setup until you add a section.

  2. 2

    Find “FAQ Side Navigation” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the FAQ Sections category — or use search.

  3. 3

    Click “Add to theme”

    Section Shop writes the section into your Refresh theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Refresh uses for its own sections.

  4. 4

    Open the Refresh theme editor

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

  5. 5

    Customize and save

    Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Refresh font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

FAQ Side Navigation on Refresh — FAQ

Does FAQ Side Navigation work with the Refresh theme?

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

Will FAQ Side Navigation match Refresh's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Refresh's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.

Is FAQ Side Navigation free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

FAQ Side Navigation 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 Refresh theme and keeps working.
