Section Limits

What Are Sections in Shopify and GemPages?

Sections are building blocks that allow you to tailor the appearance of your e-commerce website. By creating templates that can be modified through the addition, removal, and rearrangement of sections and blocks, you can personalize your website layout. 

GemPages utilize sections to generate your desired design. Each section typically consists of elements with designated roles such as headings, text, images, or banners. Incorporating sections and elements into your templates grants you greater flexibility in arranging your website’s content, giving you more control over the visual presentation of your online store without requiring you to modify any code.

What Is the Shopify Section Limit?

Shopify imposes a maximum limit of 25 sections per page to ensure optimal site performance and stability. This means each page you build in GemPages Editor v7 can only contain up to 25 sections.

If you exceed this Shopify section limit, you will see an error message saying:

“Page has reached Shopify’s 25 section-limit”

Pages that go beyond this limit cannot be published or set as the default page in your store. To help you stay within this limit, the Editor also displays the current number of sections as a reminder.

Further details on this can be found in this article. 

How to Fix Issues Related to the Shopify Section Limit

If your page hits the Shopify section limit, here are some practical steps you can take:

• Combine sections: Merge smaller sections together where possible to reduce the overall number.
• Remove unnecessary sections: Delete any sections that don’t add significant value to your page layout or user experience.
• Simplify your layout: Focus on the most important content to keep your page clean and efficient.

Keeping your total number of sections at 25 or fewer will allow you to publish your page successfully without encountering errors.
