Comparison table

This guide describes how to set up the Comparison table section.

Use the section to display a table on a store page for comparing items, such as product ingredients or features.

The previous image shows an example store's home page. In the upper left, part of the Theme editor's Comparison table section menu is displayed. The menu's Column 1 > Image picker contains the Hella Goods image. This option specifies an image to replace the heading text for the table's first column inside the section. In the center of the previous image, the section displays the Hella Goods image inside the table.

For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview and Shopify help: Sections and blocks.
