Sections that can be added
You can add any of these sections below the Main collection section:
Tips
- Configure filters in your admin.
Shopify admin > Online Store > Navigation > Search and discovery(or via the Search & Discovery app) is where you control which filters appear. - Hero banner per collection — Each collection can have its own hero image. Set it in
Shopify admin > Products > Collections > [collection] > Image. - Products per page — 24 to 36 is typical. Lower numbers force more pagination clicks; higher numbers slow down initial load on slow connections.
