Using the collection list section

The Collection list section provides a simple and effective way to showcase your collections on the homepage or any other page. It helps merchants highlight product categories directly on the page, allowing customers to browse collections without navigating through the main menu.

This is an excellent tool for promoting featured categories or new collections, while also helping customers quickly find the products they’re looking for.

1. Log in to your Theme editor and navigate to the page you would like to display this section.
2. You'll see a list of available sections on the left-hand side. Locate the Add section button and click on it.
3. From the list of available sections, find and select Collection list.

After adding the Featured collection section, you will be presented with customization options and settings that you can adjust to match your store's style.

• Heading: This will serve as the header or title of your section. For this one, we suggest using a short, but clear or concise title such as "Shop by category" or "Popular categories".
• Heading size: Only applicable on Expanse, Fetch, and Gem. This controls the size of the heading (small, medium, large, extra large).
• Heading position: Only applicable on Expanse, Fetch, and Gem. This controls the heading position (left, center, right).
• Collection per row: Only applicable for Impulse. This range slider will allow you to choose the number of collections per row (from 1 to 5) that will be displayed in the section. Keep in mind that this will affect the size of the collection tile and is only applied on desktop view since only a maximum of two collections per row is supported on mobile.
• Use alternate section color: A Streamline feature that provides you the alternative to use the alternate sections' background color.
• Show section divider: This will simply add a divider and space at the top of the featured collection section, separating it from the section above it.
