How to add Social Reels to the Refresh theme

Customer clips shown in a social frame — feed post or vertical reel — with handle, caption, platform logo and sound line. Hashtags in the caption tint themselves. The likes and comments row is deliberately decorative: the icons are not buttons and the counts are the real numbers you type, so nothing on the page pretends to be live. This guide shows how to add the Social Reels 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 shoppable video & stories like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Social Reels works on Refresh

Product-linked videos, story bubbles and reels that bring products to life. On Refresh, Social Reels 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 Social Reels 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 “Social Reels” 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 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:Social Reels” 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.

Social Reels on Refresh — FAQ

Does Social Reels work with the Refresh theme?

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

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

Social Reels 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 Refresh 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.
