  2. Choose Text Block
  3. Position it in your layout as needed

  • Both fields support plain text only (no HTML or rich formatting)

Layout & Display

  • Subtitle Alignment: Choose left, center, or right
  • Text Alignment: Choose left, center, or right

Typography Settings

Fonts

You can choose from built-in fonts or upload your own.

  • Subtitle Font and Text Font: Pick from dropdown
  • Enable Custom Font: Toggle this ON to use your own

To use a custom font, follow these steps:

🛠️ How to Add a Custom Font

  1. Upload your font file (usually .woff2) to Settings > Files in Shopify Admin
  2. Copy the file URL
  3. In the Text Block settings:
    • Paste the font name (e.g., "MyCustomFont") into Custom Subtitle Font Name or Custom Text Font Name
    • Paste the file URL into Custom Subtitle Font URL or Custom Text Font URL

Once saved, your text will render using the custom font you uploaded.

Font Sizes

Adjust font sizes separately for desktop and mobile:

  • Subtitle Font Size (Desktop / Mobile)
  • Text Font Size (Desktop / Mobile)
  • Toggle Bold Subtitle or Bold Text for added emphasis

Colors

  • Background Color: Solid or gradient background
  • Subtitle Color
  • Text Color

All colors are set using hex codes or Shopify's color picker.

Styling

  • Text Animation: Choose from:
    • No Animation
    • Typewriter
    • Fade Up
    • Reveal

Animations apply to the main text only and trigger as the section scrolls into view.

Spacing

Control top and bottom padding for both desktop and mobile:

  • Top Spacing (Desktop / Mobile)
  • Bottom Spacing (Desktop / Mobile)
  • Toggle Remove Section Padding to flush the section edge-to-edge

💡 Use increased spacing when stacking this section between media-heavy blocks.
