This guide will walk you through the various customizations that are available for Content Blocks. If you're ready to install them, then you can check out our installation guide.

Content blocks can be accessed by all merchants, but they can only be placed into the checkout by Shopify Plus merchants.

Shopify Plus merchants can add content blocks to:

  • Checkout

  • Thank you page

  • Order status page

Non-Shopify Plus merchants can add content blocks to:

  • Thank you page

  • Order status page

Uploading and Adding Images to a Content Block

Rebuy offers a variety of built-in icons—like secure checkout, payment methods, and social media logos. But if you’d rather use your own custom images, you’ll first need to upload them to the Image Gallery.

Image Sources

You can add images to a content block from these sources:

  • Upload from desktop – Select an image file directly from your computer.

  • Add via URL – Paste a link to display an external image.

  • Select from gallery – Use images you’ve already uploaded to the Rebuy gallery.

  • Use Rebuy icons – Choose from built-in icon options (you can preview each one before selecting).


How to Upload Custom Images

  1. Click the Upload button.

  2. Select the image(s) from your device to add to the Image Gallery.

Image Size Guidelines

  • Near Checkout Fields: Max width ~600px.

  • Near Order Summary (Right Side): Max width ~375px.

  • For images with text or fine detail: Upload at 2x the display size (e.g., 750px for a 375px display) for optimal clarity.

⚠️ You can upload images from within a content block, but image management—such as renaming, replacing, or deleting—must be done in the Image Gallery.


Adding Images to a Content Block

Once your images are uploaded, here’s how to add them:

  1. In your content block settings, select Images.

  2. Click Add Images.

  3. A pop-out tray will appear with three options:

    • Upload new images (as described above)

    • Choose from Rebuy's built-in icons

    • Select from your Image Gallery


Customizing Image Settings

After selecting your image(s), you can adjust the following settings to match your store’s design and improve accessibility:

Image Display Settings

  • Image Width – Set a width from 0% to 100% to control how much space the image takes up.

  • Alt Text – Add a short, meaningful description for accessibility and SEO.

  • Object Fit – Choose how your image is displayed:

    • Original – Maintains the image's original size and proportions

    • Square (Cover) – Crops to fill a square container

    • Square (Contain) – Fits the entire image within a square, no cropping

Border Styling

  • Border Style – Options: None, Base, Dotted, Dashed

  • Border Width – Options: Base, Medium, Thick

  • Corner Radius – Options: None, Small, Base, Large, Fully Rounded

Default values for Alt-Text are provided for pre-canned images by Rebuy, but you have the flexibility to customize these values according to your preferences. You will need to add your own descriptions for custom images. This section is designed to assist users who rely on visual readers.


Rich Text Editor for Format Your Text

The Rich Text Editor makes it easy to style and format your text. You can:

  • Change text size for better emphasis

  • Add formatting like bold, italics, or underline

  • Insert clickable links (URLs)

  • Align text left, center, or right

  • Adjust line spacing for improved readability

There's also a language dropdown at the top of the editor. This lets you choose the language you want to view the interface in. However, you'll still need to manually type or paste your text in that language—the editor won’t translate it for you.


Layout

Layout Settings

The Layout settings let you control how content is arranged within a content block. You can customize:

  • Direction – Choose between rows or columns to set how elements are stacked.

  • Width – Define the width of each row or column to control how much space it takes up.

  • Nesting – You can nest layouts by adding a new section inside an existing one, giving you more flexibility in how you organize your content.

These options help you create structured, responsive layouts tailored to your design needs.

There’s no limit to the number of sections or levels of nesting you can create—giving you full flexibility to design structured, responsive layouts.


General Editor Capabilities

Rebuy's visual editor offers powerful features to help you customize your content with ease. Here’s an overview of what you can do:


Layout and Organization

  • Drag & Drop Sections – Rearrange sections effortlessly by dragging them into your preferred order.

  • Clone/Delete Sections – Duplicate existing sections or remove ones you no longer need.

  • Nested Sections – Use the Layout section to create sections within sections for more complex designs.


Editing Experience

  • Expand/Collapse Settings – Easily open or hide settings panels to keep your workspace tidy.

  • Language Selector – Set the editor interface to your preferred language for a localized experience.

  • Inspect Mode – Enable to quickly identify and jump to any section in the previewer.

🔍 When Inspect Mode is on:

  • Hovering over a section in the sidebar highlights it in the previewer with a light blue outline.

  • Clicking an element in the previewer auto-scrolls to its editing panel in the sidebar.

Disabling Inspect Mode turns off the highlight effect and click-to-jump behavior.


Preview and Device Support

  • Mobile Preview – View how your content appears on mobile devices to ensure responsive design.
