Modulo vs Section Store · Shopify section marketplace

A Section Store alternative: every section in one subscription

Section Store is a marketplace where you buy individual theme sections and keep what you purchase. Modulo takes a different route — one app install that includes all of its sections, storefront blocks, and a bundling engine under a single subscription.

Where Section Store is strong

Credit where it's due

  • Buy-what-you-need model: you pick individual sections and own each one you purchase outright.
  • A large, browsable catalog of polished sections covering most common storefront layouts.
  • Sections are native Online Store 2.0 sections that drop straight into the theme editor.
Where Modulo differs

Why merchants pick Modulo

  • Everything is in one install — sections, 16 storefront conversion blocks, and a bundling engine — not separate purchases.
  • A single subscription covers the full library plus every new section and update, instead of paying per section as the catalog grows.
  • Native, server-rendered Liquid sections (no iframes, no checkout.liquid changes) editable in the theme editor.
  • Free at launch, with existing installs grandfathered free if a paid Modulo Pro tier arrives later.
  • Clean uninstall and GDPR-compliant — built and maintained by a solo EU founder.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is Modulo a drop-in replacement for Section Store?

Not section-for-section. Both offer native theme sections, but Modulo is one subscription covering its whole library plus storefront blocks and bundling, rather than a marketplace where you buy sections individually. Compare the specific sections you need before switching.

Can I keep sections if I cancel?

Modulo's sections are part of the app, so they render while the app is installed. That's the trade-off of a subscription model versus buying individual sections you keep — you get the full library and ongoing updates for as long as you're subscribed.

Are Modulo's sections native, like a marketplace section?

Yes. They're native Online Store 2.0 sections rendered in Liquid and edited in the theme editor — no iframes and no checkout.liquid changes.
