Section list
Add section in the theme editor lists Hellostore sections alongside the sections of Shopify’s standard theme, Dawn. You can build the first home page from Hellostore sections alone, and fill any gaps with Dawn sections. The Origin column shows whether a section is a Hellostore original, a Dawn section enhanced by Hellostore, or Dawn standard (unchanged from Shopify’s standard).
Hellostore sections (the main tools for building a store)

Hellostore helper parts
Section titled “Hellostore helper parts”| Part | Role | Origin |
|---|---|---|
Japanese search suggestions c-predictive-search-fallback | Shows product suggestions in the header search on Japanese pages. Shopify’s standard search suggestions do not support Japanese, so on Japanese pages only, suggestions are drawn from the regular search results. It does not appear in “Add section” and needs no settings → Search suggestions on Japanese pages | Dawn-based with Hellostore enhancements |
Free shipping bar i-free-shipping-bar | Tells shoppers how much more they need to spend to get free shipping. It cannot be added on its own and is built into other sections, such as the cart area and the store introduction | Hellostore original |
The body layouts of the product page (Focused and Modern) are also Hellostore parts (Dawn-based with Hellostore enhancements). They switch when you choose the product template, so you normally do not need to choose them from “Add section”.
Dawn standard sections (Shopify’s standard parts)
Section titled “Dawn standard sections (Shopify’s standard parts)”Hellostore Theme is built on Shopify’s official theme Dawn, so Dawn’s standard sections can be used as they are. The names match what appears under “Add section” in the theme editor (the editor decides the order). Some are not included in every theme, so check the “Add section” list to see what you can actually use.
| Section | Main use | Origin |
|---|---|---|
| Apps | Place blocks from installed apps | Dawn standard |

Product recommendations does not appear under “Add section”. It is already placed on the product page template, so you select that section there to change settings such as how many products to show.
On Dawn standard sections that show products (Featured collection, Featured product, Product recommendations, and so on), Hellostore’s extensions are applied automatically: color swatches, favorites, quick view, and stock badges on product cards, plus noshi and purchase guidance around the buy button. You can adjust the extensions in theme settings → How color swatches work and Product cards
Example of how it looks (a real store, a live store)
Section titled “Example of how it looks (a real store, a live store)”In the example store, on a phone the product page stacks, from top to bottom: the photo gallery, the product description and size chart, size selection, the cart button, a field to ask the AI a question, and collapsible panels (size chart and fit, shipping and returns).
Choosing sections
Section titled “Choosing sections”Photo-based sections can be reused for any industry by swapping in photos, text, and links. To add a way to find products by preference, use the Hellostore AI Staff photo finder board → Hellostore AI Staff integration Before adding more sections, first gather the photos, text, and link destinations you want to show.
