This content block helps you add predefined buttons for actions on a page.

What is the Button section perfect for?

You have various options to use the Button section for your Shopify themes:

  • Multiple buttons within a section: see an example here.

Button Settings

From the Shopify theme editor, click on Button on the sidebar to view the details of settings.

If you are new to our Easy Content Builder, please take a look at the Add Sections section for detailed instructions on how to add a section to your theme.
Under the Pro plan, you can add 3 buttons per row in the Button section. With the Free plan, only one button is visible on the front end, but you can still use and configure the Button section.


The Pro plan also supports Modal option for Button, which opens links in a Lightbox. Useful for embedding content from YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, TikTok, or Google Maps/Forms.
Section settings Description
Text Alignment Align text to the left, right, or center.
Rounded Border Enable this setting to apply rounded corners to the buttons. To increase the border radius of the button, you can use the Custom CSS option following this video tutorial.
Full-width Enable responsive full-width button.

Tips: If you add multiple buttons on the Hero banner, you should enable full-width to create equal-width CTA buttons. If you want to set the width of the container where you display the CTAs, use the Container Max Width or Main Column Width under Section Settings, depending on which option best suits you.

Button Text Enter the button’s text. Leave this field empty to disable the button.
Button URL Set the internal or external URL for the button’s link.
Button Style Apply a different look for the button. You can choose a Primary Button/Danger Button for the primary action button, a Default Button (outlined button)/Secondary Button for a medium emphasis, or a Text/Link Button for a low emphasis action button.
Button Size Set the button size - Small, Default, or Large.
Target Open the link in the same window, a new window, or modal.

Modal (Pro only): opens a link in a Lightbox. Useful for embedding content from YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, TikTok, or Google Maps/Forms.

Animate On Scroll This feature is only available for the Pro plan. It lets you apply different types of animation to elements within each section as you scroll down the page. Learn more about scrolling animations here.
Margin Set the vertical spacing between elements.

How to add multiple buttons

The button section lets you add 3 buttons per row (this feature is available for the Pro plan). You can still use and configure the Button section under the Free plan; however, only one button is visible on the front end.
  • Step 1: Add a Section Settings section that allows you to control the global settings of the Button section.
Here you can define multi-column layouts, enable fullwidth, set the section's max-width, background color, global margin/padding, etc.
  • Step 2: Add a Button section. This provides block-level configurations in addition to the global configuration level (via Section Settings above). Then configure as you wish:  
  • Rounded Border
  • Full Width: we recommend enabling this setting to create equal-width CTA buttons (perfect for the Hero banner)
  • Set the number of buttons per row on Desktop/Mobile.

Note: If you want to set the width of the container where you display the CTAs, use the Container Max Width or Main Column Width under Section Settings, depending on which option best suits you.

In this example, we set this hero section with Two Col: First Block Right layout. Here is why we use this layout setup:

  • The First Block on the right column is a blank Custom HTML section. We used this special Custom HTML section to create a blank column on the right.
  • Then we can add multiple sections below the Custom HTML (all these sections are shown on the left column)

So, you simply resize the width of the Main column (which is the Custom HTML section) until you're happy with width for the left column.

How to enable the Modal for the CTAs

This feature allows you to open links in a lightbox, making it useful for embedding content from YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, TikTok, or Google Maps/Forms (view the demo here).

  • Step 1: Add a Section Settings section (to control the global settings of the Button section)
  • Step 2: Add a Button section and configure it as you wish.
  • Step 3: Under the Target field, choose Modal.

Add other content blocks

You can add many content blocks to a section you've created. These content blocks will be displayed in different positions within the section, depending on the Desktop/Mobile Layouts you configure.
