Sections, Conversion Blocks, bundles and the cart drawer: what's the difference?
What each Section Store feature is, where it shows, how you pay for it, and which names are easy to mix up.
Sections are full-width parts of a page. You get them free, buy them once or get them with Plus. Conversion Blocks sit inside a section, usually on the product page. Bundles and the cart drawer are offers you set up in the app. AI Pages builds whole pages from these.
The features side by side
| Feature | What it is | Where you set it up | How you get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sections | Full-width parts of a page from our catalog | Theme editor, under Add section | Free, bought once, or included in Plus |
| Conversion Blocks | Small blocks inside a section, like Sticky add to cart | Theme editor, under Add block and Apps | Plus |
| Bundles | Deals above Add to cart, like Buy 2 save 10% | Bundles in the app | Plus to go live |
| Cart Drawer | A cart that slides in, with rewards and upsells | Cart Drawer in the app | Plus to go live |
| AI Pages | We build a page with sections and blocks | AI Pages in the app | Plus |
AI setup on the Conversion Blocks page is part of AI Pages. It isn't a separate tool.
Names that are easy to mix up
- Countdown timer: there's a Conversion Block called Countdown timer, and there are countdown sections in the catalog. The block needs Plus and sits inside a section. A section is a separate part of the page and has its own settings.
- Addons: the Addons block is a Conversion Block for the product page. Add-on sections are catalog sections.
- Bundle: a bundle deal in Bundles is a discount for shoppers. Bundle & Save in the Sections catalog is a way for you to buy several sections at once.
- Plus: this means Section Store Plus, not Shopify Plus.
