This blog explains two different ways to add Shopify media with text section. Let’s see how.

  • Using in-built theme settings – Most Shopify themes come with a basic Image with Text section that you can quickly add from the theme editor. It’s simple and beginner-friendly, but the customization options are limited to standard layouts and styling.
  • Using a Shopify app – If you want more design freedom, advanced customization, and unique layouts, using a Shopify app is the smarter choice. Apps let you go beyond the default theme limitations, giving you full flexibility that perfectly fits your store’s branding.
