If I have created a custom section in “Horizon” on one store and want to use it in a different store, how is that possible?

Hey @Jasmin_Maru

Yes, you should be able to transfer sections between Horizon themes

The steps involved would be:

  1. In your source store, go to Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit code
  2. Navigate to the Templates folder and find the JSON template with your section (for example if your custom section was on the Home page, in index.json)
  3. Locate the section code block you want to copy (they’re organized in clear chunks)
  4. Copy that specific JSON block, including all curly braces and settings
  5. Paste it into the matching JSON template in your destination theme
  6. Save and preview to ensure everything works correctly

:high_voltage: Quick warning: Direct code editing can break things if you’re not careful with the JSON syntax. Always make a duplicate of your theme before attempting code changes.

If you’re not comfortable editing code (totally understandable!), our Support team can guide you through this process or suggest alternative approaches.
