How to add Testimonial Spotlight to the Refresh theme

Large featured testimonial with side info panel. Prominent single review display, customer photo, detailed quote, company logo, and supporting statistics. This guide shows how to add the Testimonial Spotlight 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 testimonials & reviews like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

Why Testimonial Spotlight works on Refresh

Carousels, walls, marquees and video testimonials — social proof formats for every store style. For Refresh specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: wants richer image-with-text storytelling blocks, and Testimonial Spotlight fills that gap while inheriting Refresh's typography automatically, so it looks native from the first save. Refresh loves long pages: alternate Image with Text sections with feature grids to build a scrolling brand story without a page builder.

How to add Testimonial Spotlight 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 “Testimonial Spotlight” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Testimonials & Reviews 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:Testimonial Focus” 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.

Testimonial Spotlight on Refresh — FAQ

Does Testimonial Spotlight work with the Refresh theme?

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

Will Testimonial Spotlight 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 Testimonial Spotlight free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Testimonial Spotlight 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.
