Build

Page types and the section library

Which page types you can create, what each is for, which pages are required, and how to add ready-made sections.

Updated November 9, 2026

Choose the right type when you add a page, and speed up building with ready-made sections.

Add a page

  1. In the editor, open Pages in the left rail and click +. You can also create a page from Pages in the site workspace.

  2. Under Page type, choose a type.

  3. Enter a Title and check the path, then create the page.

Every type except Blank page starts with blocks already in place.

Page types

  • Essentials: Blank page, an empty page at a path you choose.

  • Templates: CMS template gives each CMS entry its own page. With commerce on, Product template, Collection template and Product listing do the same for your shop.

  • Commerce, with commerce on: Cart, Checkout and Order confirmation.

  • Account, with commerce on: login, register, password, dashboard, orders, profile and return request pages for your customers.

  • Search: a results page, by default at /search. See Filters and site search.

  • System: 404 page, shown when a path does not exist.

Template paths contain a token, such as /products/{slug}. See Collections and dynamic pages.

System pages

Some pages must exist for your site to work, so they are protected:

  • The 404 page is created with every site.

  • Checkout and Order confirmation are created when you turn on commerce.

They appear under System pages in the workspace. You can edit and restyle them, but you cannot delete them or change their path. If you turn commerce off and on again, your commerce pages keep their content.

Add ready-made sections

  1. Open Insert in the left rail, then Library.

  2. Drag a section onto the page.

The library covers common parts of a page, such as a hero, features, testimonials, logos, FAQ, stats, pricing, a call-to-action band, gallery, steps, timeline, newsletter, team, careers, blog, navigation and footer.

Once placed, a section is made of normal blocks. You can change, move or delete any part of it, and it no longer depends on the library.
