# How to Add Social Posts to the Sense 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 Sense theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Sense's code. Sense is a free theme by Shopify, known for soft gradients, rounded cards, wellness-brand energy — and shoppable video & stories like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Social Posts fits Sense

Product-linked videos, story bubbles and reels that bring products to life. On Sense, 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 Sense'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 Sense setup until you add a section.
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. **Click “Add to theme”** — Section Shop writes the section into your Sense theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Sense uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Sense theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Social Posts” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Sense font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Social Posts work with the Sense theme?

Yes. Sense 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 Sense's theme editor as “SShop:Social Posts”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Social Posts match Sense's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Sense'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 Sense theme and keeps working.
