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.
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.
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.
Modulo vs Section Store
| Modulo | Section Store | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | One subscription covers the whole library (free at launch). | Generally one-time purchases — you buy and keep each section you pick. |
| What you get | Page builder sections, storefront blocks, and bundling in one install. | A marketplace of individual sections you assemble into a library. |
| Bundles included | Built-in bundling engine with automatic Shopify discounts. | Focused on sections; bundling is typically a separate tool. |
| Storefront conversion blocks | 16 theme app blocks (trust badges, sticky add-to-cart, FAQ, etc.). | Centered on full sections rather than small conversion blocks. |
| Updates & new sections | New sections and updates included under the subscription. | New sections are typically additional purchases as the catalog grows. |
| Performance / native | Native server-rendered Liquid sections — no iframes. | Also native Online Store 2.0 sections in the theme editor. |
| Uninstall cleanliness | Clean uninstall; no checkout.liquid changes. | Purchased sections live in your theme; behavior varies by section. |
| Support | Direct support from a solo EU founder. | Marketplace support across a broad catalog. |
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.
