Frequently asked
Is Modulo a drop-in replacement for GemPages?
Not exactly. GemPages is a free-form visual page builder with its own canvas; Modulo builds pages from native theme sections in Shopify's theme editor. If you depend on GemPages' element-by-element control, Modulo will feel different. If you want theme-native pages plus conversion blocks and bundling in one install, Modulo fits well.
Will pages built with Modulo stay fast?
Modulo's sections are server-rendered native Liquid with no iframes, so they load with the theme rather than inside a builder wrapper. That tends to keep pages lean compared with builder-rendered layouts.
Does Modulo include bundling and conversion blocks?
Yes. The same install includes a native bundling engine plus 16 storefront conversion blocks (sticky add-to-cart, trust badges, FAQ, and more), so you don't need separate apps for them.
