What Are Shopify Blocks?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 4:33 am

Shopify Blocks are a new way to build pages on your Shopify store. With blocks, you can add content to your pages in a modular way, making it easy to create complex page layouts without having to code.

PRO TIP: Shopify Blocks are a new way to add content to your Shopify store. They are similar to pages or posts on other websites, but they are designed specifically for Shopify stores.

While Shopify Blocks are a great way to add new content to your store, there are a few things you should keep in mind before using them.

First, Shopify Blocks are only available on the Shopify Plus plan. If you’re not on Shopify Plus, you won’t be able to use them.

Second, Shopify Blocks are not available for every theme. Some themes do not support Shopify Blocks. If you’re not sure if your theme supports Shopify Blocks, you can contact the theme developer to ask.

Finally, keep in mind that Shopify Blocks are still in beta. This means that they may change or be removed in future updates. If you use Shopify Blocks, be sure to keep an eye on the latest updates from Shopify to make sure your blocks continue to work as expected.

There are four types of blocks:

  • Content blocks: These blocks allow you to add content to your pages, such as text, images, and videos.
  • Collection blocks: These blocks allow you to display products from your collections on your pages.
  • Product blocks: These blocks allow you to feature individual products on your pages.
  • Custom blocks: These blocks allow you to add custom content to your pages, such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

You can add blocks to your pages from the Page editor in your Shopify admin. To learn more about using Shopify Blocks, check out our documentation.
