Collection list

Theme section

Theme retirement | Context is no longer available on the Shopify theme store. Theme support and updates for current users will end after May 18, 2024. Learn more here.

The Collection list section displays a grid of selected collections with featured images.

Set up section

Add this section to your template and use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order its position. You can add this section multiple times with different content and settings.

Editing a template changes all pages that use that template. To edit specific pages, you can create new templates or insert dynamic content with metafields.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

1. Select a Template to edit from the dropdown menu in the top bar.

   Learn how to use templates in our Templates guide.

2. Under Template, click (+) Add section and select Collection list.

3. Click and hold the drag-and-drop handles ⋮⋮ to re-order your sections.

Select feature collections

Select multiple Collections to display in a grid with featured collection images that link to those collections. We recommend adding a Collection image in your Shopify Admin. If no image is set, Context will use a product image from that collection by default.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

1. Click (+) Add Collection.

2. Click on a Collection block to open the block settings.

3. Click Select collection to find and select one of your collections.

4. Return to the list of your template sections in the sidebar and repeat this process until you've added all the Collection blocks you need.

5. (Optional.) Click and hold the drag handles ⋮⋮ to rearrange the blocks:

   

   Click Remove block in the block settings to delete a block.

   Click the Eye icon to hide or unhide a block.

6. Click Save.

The Collection list section settings apply to all Collection list blocks. You can add a main Heading and Subheading, set the number of columns per row, change the Image aspect ratio (shape or orientation).

1. Click on the Collections list section to open the section settings.

2. (Optional.) Add Heading text to display as a title above the section.

3. Choose to display 2, 3, or 4 Columns per row of your selected collections.

   On mobile, Collection blocks are displayed in a single column.
