High-quality, fascinating page content can now be translated in a blink of an eye, helping you save time, achieve more, and get your page in front of millions of global shoppers.

Let’s be honest. Content localization is hard. However, it is the next bound for large and professional Shopify multilingual businesses to deliver incredible results globally. For many Shopify brands, the answer is simply hitting the publish button and choosing which countries to go live in and little else.

Why localize Shopify page?

According to Frost & Sullivan, 72% (that’s 3 out of 4) customers spend most of their time on sites in their own language, with 75% of surveyed participants from non-English speaking countries prefer to buy products in their mother tongue.

However, the rigid challenges of content localization are hard to ignore.

Besides 2 main concerns about the impact and result measurement, the other 3 challenges revolve around operations of content localization, which entails time, human effort, and resources.

Indeed, preparing localized content is one of the most time-consuming activities for merchants in preparing their stores for international launch. Shopify has made great efforts to support global commerce activities, including locale payment integrations, localized distribution channels and shipping solutions, and locale param. However, content localization is still a tough nut to crack when the work process stays quite laborious.

Multipurpose Shopify custom sections reach a new height

We heard ya.

Building a high-converting page is one thing, but inserting stunning and essential Shopify custom sections into different pages is a whole different story. Shopify sections feature is a solid tool for customizing Shopify themes and store designs, so using them effectively and following best practices has become a wildly popular topic.

If you’re building a store from scratch or customizing a theme for a client, you’ll need to create different types of Shopify sections - either used on multiple pages at once or just on a single page.

The right custom section on the right page can have a significant impact on conversion.

What are Shopify custom sections?

According to Shopify, sections are modular components of a Shopify theme that merchants can customize. Shopify sections contain content and settings for specific areas of a Shopify store or page, such as the featured product section, testimonial section, slideshow section, etc.

Originally, Shopify custom sections were introduced as something quite technical, and you need to understand basic HTML and CSS as well as .json files to navigate through the theme templates system.

How are Foxify custom sections different?

We’re introducing flexible custom sections for you to experience the freedom of design like never before.

Foxify custom sections come with 2 options for your choice:

  • Static sections
  • Dynamic sections

Static Sections help you achieve global consistency on all pages. Imagine having the flexibility to insert these globally consistent sections anywhere on your theme templates (yes you read it right - it’s “Shopify sections everywhere”)!

They are game-changers for businesses seeking a cohesive and professional look across their websites.

Looking for more flexibility? Meet Dynamic Sections. These sections breathe life into your website, allowing content to adapt and evolve effortlessly.
