Sections, rows & columns

Every design is made of sections, which hold rows, which hold columns, which hold elements. Here's what each level can do, plus the simple content elements available on every page.

Free

Section

A full-width band of the page.

Content width
Default Contained

Contained (up to the page width, 1200 px), Narrow (720 px, for focused pages) or Full width.

Padding top (px) · Padding bottom (px)
Default 00–200

Background color · Text color

Transparent and inherited by default.

Step

On a multi-step checkout (Content tab): which step the whole section belongs to, or "Same as section / all steps".

Row

Column gap (px)
Default 24 px0–120

Vertical alignment
Default Top

Stretch, Top, Middle or Bottom.

Stack columns on
Default Tablet and mobile

Or "Mobile only": when columns are placed under each other instead of side by side.

Column

Relative width
Default 5010–100

Columns in a row share the row width in proportion to this value: 60 and 40 make a 60/40 split, 2 and 1 make two-thirds and one-third.

Padding (px) · Background color

Padding 0–120 px (default 0), background transparent by default. Use both for a tinted summary card.

Sticky while scrolling (desktop)
Default Off

Keeps the column in view while the shopper scrolls, on screens wider than 1024 px. Perfect for an order summary.

Show first when columns stack
Default Off

For example, show the order summary above the form on phones.

An empty column collapses on your store. In the editor it shows "Drop elements here". Add rows and columns from the Structure view (Add row, Add column), and sections from Add section under the canvas. See The builder.

Visibility & classes

Every section, row, column and element has Hide on desktop, Hide on tablet and Hide on mobile (tablet up to 1024 px, mobile up to 767 px), and up to five Additional CSS class(es) for your theme's CSS. Required elements must stay visible on every device, including through their parent containers.
