Content blocks reference

Every shared content block in Zalify Theme — Text, Button, Image, Quote, Accordion, Group, Spacer, and Custom Liquid — with all settings explained.

These blocks form the shared content library. Any section that accepts theme blocks — Hero content boxes, Image with text, Rich text, Multicolumn, Custom section, Group — offers all of them in its Add block picker.

Text

One piece of text with a chosen role. Use several Text blocks to build a heading + paragraph stack instead of one block with many fields.

Text style roles:

  • Display — large, light-weight hero headline (the style used on hero banners).
  • Title — bold section heading.
  • Subtitle — medium heading for sub-points.
  • Normal text — body copy.
  • Eyebrow — small uppercase label with letter-spacing, for kickers like "NEW IN" above a headline.

Button

A pill link button.

Accordion

A collapsible row (heading + expandable rich text). On the product page, consecutive Accordion blocks visually group into one framed list — see Product section and product page blocks.

Group

A layout wrapper: put blocks inside it to arrange them in a row or a column. Typical use: two buttons side by side, or an icon + text pair.

Spacer

Empty space with a purpose. Two modes:

Height0–160px40Fixed gap; acts as a minimum in fill mode
Fill available spaceon / offoffThe spacer grows to consume free space, pushing the blocks around it apart

Fill is the magazine-layout trick: in an Image with text column, Title → Spacer (fill) → Normal text pins the heading to the top and the copy to the bottom of the image's height. On mobile, where columns collapse to natural height, a fill spacer quietly shrinks to its minimum — no dead space.

Custom Liquid

An escape hatch for developers: renders whatever Liquid/HTML you paste. Use sparingly — anything built here is invisible to the editor's normal controls.

Custom Liquid runs unmodified in your storefront. Broken markup or heavy scripts here can affect the whole page.
