🔄 Transfer Sections

by Admin on Sep 18, 2025

Why this matters

When you switch to a new Shopify theme, you may want to keep the same sections (from our app) you’ve already built. The Transfer Sections feature lets you move your section settings from one theme to another without manually rebuilding them.

🔧 How it works

  1. Go to Settings → Transfer Sections.
  2. Select your Source theme (where the OT sections are currently installed).
  3. Select your Destination theme (the new theme you want to move sections to).
  4. Click Transfer to copy your OT sections.

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Clean theme recommended: The destination theme should ideally be clean (no OT sections or otsb files). If OT sections already exist, they will be overwritten, which may lead to conflicts.
  • Section limit: Shopify allows up to 25 sections per template. If the transfer causes the template in the new theme to exceed this limit, the transfer will fail.
  • Custom code not included: Only sections installed through the app are transferable. Manual code changes or custom-built sections will not transfer.
  • Duplicate before transfer: We strongly recommend duplicating your destination theme before starting the transfer to avoid losing your original setup.

📌 Conclusion

The Transfer Sections feature makes it easier to update or switch themes while keeping your store design consistent. Configure it carefully, and your sections will move seamlessly into the new theme.
