> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/shrine/add-image-text-cards/ — Section Shop, 56 free native Shopify sections. Install: https://apps.shopify.com/section-shop

Multi-card grid layout showcasing image-text combinations in 2-4 column layouts. Features hover animations, customizable image ratios (square/landscape/portrait), and animated link arrows for engaging storytelling. This guide shows how to add the Image Text Cards section to the Shrine theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Shrine's code. Shrine is a premium theme by Shrine, known for conversion-rate obsession and built-in marketing blocks — and image with text like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Image Text Cards fits Shrine

Story-telling layouts pairing visuals with copy — splits, overlays, zigzags and card grids for brand and product stories. On Shrine, Image Text Cards 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 Shrine'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 Shrine setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Image Text Cards” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Image with Text category — or use search.
3. **Click “Add to theme”** — Section Shop writes the section into your Shrine theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Shrine uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Shrine theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Image Text Cards” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Shrine font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Image Text Cards work with the Shrine theme?

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

### Will Image Text Cards match Shrine's design?

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

### Is Image Text Cards free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Image Text Cards 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 Shrine theme and keeps working.
