Sections
Sections are the blocks a storefront page is built from — carousels, static content, the footer links. A merchandiser arranges them per channel, and the storefront draws them in the order given.
What is returned
The queries return the published sections of the current channel's active theme:
- Only published content — unpublished edits held in the admin never appear.
- Only the active theme's sections — a channel that switches theme keeps its old sections, but they stop being returned.
- Only sections that are switched on — a section turned off is absent rather than flagged.
Types
| Type | What it holds |
|---|---|
image_carousel | Slides, each with an image and a link. |
product_carousel | A product filter to run and draw as a slider. |
category_carousel | A category filter to run and draw as a slider. |
footer_links | Footer link columns. |
static_content | Free HTML and CSS. |
services_content | Service badges, each with an icon. |
type decides the shape of options, so a client switches on it when rendering.
Content and locale
Content is stored per locale. Each section carries translation for the current locale and translations for every locale it has content in. options is a JSON-encoded string; parse it before use.
Queries
| Query | Purpose |
|---|---|
| sections | The published sections of the current channel |
| section | One section by ID |
Both are public — they need only the storefront key, no customer token.
