See every featureThe Flex theme is a robust theme with many sections. But if you don't like those sections or need something extra you are stuck with hard-to-learn page-builder apps or expensive developers. JadePuma is solving that issue with a section library full of plug-an-play customizable sections, that you can simply add to the Flex on your store and customize in the theme editor.
A cart app, a bundle app and a page builder mean three bills. Section Store replaces them all. Your cart drawer rewards bigger orders. Shoppers unlock free shipping and gifts. Upsells add one more. Bundles sell more than one. Quantity breaks, buy X get Y and mix and match sit on your product page. AI builds product, home and landing pages from our theme sections. Or skip the settings.
