# How to Add Testimonials Carousel to the Shrine Theme

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

Customer reviews carousel with star ratings, customer photos, and smooth slide transitions. Navigation arrows, dot indicators, autoplay option, and touch swipe support. This guide shows how to add the Testimonials Carousel 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 testimonials & reviews like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Testimonials Carousel fits Shrine

Carousels, walls, marquees and video testimonials — social proof formats for every store style. For Shrine specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: fresh section designs beyond the built-ins everyone recognizes, and Testimonials Carousel fills that gap while inheriting Shrine's typography automatically, so it looks native from the first save. Shrine stores all look alike — swapping in Section Shop testimonial and comparison layouts is the cheapest way to stand out while keeping the CRO structure.

## 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 “Testimonials Carousel” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Testimonials & Reviews 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:Reviews Carousel” 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 Testimonials Carousel work with the Shrine theme?

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

### Will Testimonials Carousel 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 Testimonials Carousel free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Testimonials Carousel 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.
