Instagram Section

Overview

The Instagram Section in the Surge Theme allows you to showcase your brand’s social presence directly on your storefront. It’s a great way to build trust, increase engagement, and visually reinforce your brand by displaying Instagram posts or a curated feed.

From the editor flow shown, this section can be quickly added via the Theme Editor and customized to match your store’s design.
