Install on ShopifyA Shogun alternative: native theme sections, not a separate canvas
Shogun is a mature drag-and-drop visual page builder for Shogun's own editing canvas. Modulo takes a theme-native approach instead — pages are built from Online Store 2.0 sections inside Shopify's own theme editor, and the install also includes storefront blocks and bundling.
Credit where it's due
- A powerful, flexible drag-and-drop visual editor for building pages freely.
- A long track record with a deep feature set, templates, and supporting tooling.
- Fine-grained layout control on its own canvas for highly custom landing pages.
Why merchants pick Modulo
- Pages are assembled from native Online Store 2.0 theme sections in Shopify's theme editor — not a separate page-builder canvas.
- One install also includes 16 storefront conversion blocks and a bundling engine.
- Server-rendered Liquid with no iframes and no checkout.liquid changes, so content stays close to the theme.
- Clean uninstall: sections are native, so removal is predictable rather than leaving builder-specific markup behind.
- Free at launch and maintained by a solo EU founder, with a GDPR-compliant design.

Frequently asked
Is Modulo a drop-in replacement for Shogun?
Not exactly. Shogun is a free-form visual page builder with its own canvas; Modulo builds pages from native theme sections inside Shopify's theme editor. If you rely on Shogun's free-form drag-and-drop layout control, Modulo's section-based approach will feel different. If you want theme-native pages plus blocks and bundling in one install, Modulo fits well.
Will I lose flexibility moving from a visual builder to sections?
It's a trade-off. You get less free-form pixel positioning but more theme-native consistency, faster server-rendered output, and a clean uninstall. Many storefront pages are well served by structured sections.
Does Modulo include bundling like a separate app?
Yes — bundling is built into Modulo, so you don't need a separate bundling app on top of your page-building tool.
