How to add HTML or a Page to your homepage

Pipeline has a feature where you can pull-in any Shopify Page that you've created into your homepage as a section. This can be handy if you have some HTML that needs to be added to the homepage or any custom content.

How to:

1: Create a page in your Shopify Page editor

Your content will be created in the Shopify Page editor. If you're using HTML, you can switch to code view and paste the code there. If you're creating content, the Rich Text tools will help you add paragraphs and images.

In your Page Editor:

Start by creating a new page (or you can skip this step if you already have your page content created):

Give the page a title which can optionally be displayed on the homepage.

If you're adding HTML, use the code view icon in the toolbar to added your HTML code:

Once you click on code view, you'll notice the rest of the icons in the toolbar will disappear. This is a good way to know if you're in code view or rich text editor mode (be sure to never paste your HTML code in rich text editor mode - The HTML won't work).

Summary: Be sure to be in code view/mode when adding HTML. The other icons will disappear. For non-HTML content, use the standard Rich Text editor mode/view.

Save your page.
