New feature: Build custom Shopify Sections with Instant

We’re excited to announce the release of our newest feature: Sections. 

This pioneering new feature makes it easy to create custom Shopify sections for your online store. Sections built with Instant can be edited directly in the Shopify editor, making a seamless page design experience. 

The release of Sections marks a step forward in page-building technology, offering unparalleled flexibility and integration capabilities. 

Here’s a full breakdown of this new feature: 

Sections: Build in Instant, edit in Shopify 

With Sections, you can: 

• Build unique sections for your Shopify store

• Edit sections within the Shopify theme editor

• Integrate with all Shopify markets features and metafields

• Use on every page type

• Integrate with all Shopify app blocks

This ensures retailers can enhance the aesthetics and user experience across their storefronts.

The differentiating factor with this new feature is its ability to convert Sections made in the Instant Page Builder into native Shopify Liquid code. This ensures a smooth and intuitive design process. 

App Island: Compatibility with any Shopify app block

In addition to our new Sections feature, we are also releasing our App Island feature. This makes Sections fully compatible with any Shopify app block. 

With the App Island, users can define where the “App blocks” will be inserted when added to the Shopify theme editor. This gives users a wide array of options for customizing their online store. 

The significance of this release 

These new features represent a significant step forward in our mission of enabling anyone to build custom pages for their Shopify store. 

“With the introduction of Sections, we aim to empower Shopify store owners to unleash their creative potential,” said Instant Co-Founder and CEO Coen van Hees. 

Sections will make it easier than ever for brands to create unique, custom Shopify Sections for their online storefront.
