Sidebar required

Topic summary

  • Request: A store owner wants sidebars on both sides of their Shopify store to display rectangular brand logos with a few lines of text.

  • Feasibility & constraints: A responder confirms it’s possible via theme code edits, but notes Shopify’s shared template approach (the same template content is reused across multiple pages), meaning the same sidebar images/text would appear sitewide unless further customization is done. They also caution that this is a time-consuming coding task and unlikely to be done for free.

  • Alternatives: Consider a page builder app (e.g., PageFly) to add images and text to specific pages without deep theme coding.

  • Status: No implementation provided; options outlined, decision pending. No media or code snippets central to the discussion.

Hi, My store is www.darkclearskies.co.uk and i want a sidebar that runs down both sides so that i can add the logos of the brands that i sell. They should only be rectangle for the image and maybe allocated a few line so that i can add a bit of text. Is this possible

@Paul_Stevenson1 - using code editing it is possible to add sidebar with image and text, but shopify uses shared template approach so if you change the template then all the pages will have very same images… also since it is time taking and coding job I doubt if anyone will do it for free.

If you want then you can try some page builder app like pagefly to add images to the pages.
