See every featureI built Flexi because I was tired of rebuilding the same sections for every client project. Other libraries fell short. They were either too slow, too branded, or too much junk in the theme. So I built the one I actually needed. Sections and blocks that connect to metafields from day one, dev mode for full control, and a tiny footprint that passes PageSpeed every time. Three years. Five versions.
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.
