Why can't I add a block to my ecommerce page?

Topic summary

Issue: A user couldn’t add blocks to a Shopify page in the theme editor.

Key cause identified: The page lacked a custom section. In Shopify, blocks can only be added inside sections; if a page/template doesn’t include a (custom) section, block options won’t appear.

Resolution: After being asked about the timing of creating a custom section, the user realized they hadn’t created one for that page. They acknowledged this, and the issue was considered solved.

Context notes: A screenshot was shared but not essential to the resolution.

Outcome & status: Solution accepted and confirmed by the original poster. No further action items or open questions remain.
