Using the Collection List section

Edited

The Collection List section offers an easy way to display your collections on the homepage or other pages. It is a powerful tool that allows merchants to organize and display their products by category without going through the main menu -- they just need to scroll through the site or page.

Unlike the Collection List page, you can control which collections you would like to display. This is a good way to promote certain categories or new collections. This also allows customers to find what they need quickly.

Adding the Collection List section

  • Login to your Theme editor and navigate to the page you would like to display this section.

  • You'll see a list of available sections on the left-hand side. Locate the Add section button and click on it.

  • From the list of available sections, find and select Collection List.
