Collection grid
This guide describes setting up your store's Collection grid section.
Use the section to set how collections are displayed on your store's collection pages. The section includes useful features for customizing collection pages, like a grid layout, product filtering and sorting.
The previous image shows an example store's (default) Collection page. In the upper left, part of Theme editor's Collection grid section menu is displayed. The menu's Enable color swatch filters option is set to on. This option shows/hides color variant icons inside the section's filtering and sorting area. With this option enabled, an icon is displayed for each color variant that's available for products within the section's collection. Store visitors select the icons to filter the collection's products by color. For example, in the previous image, the section's filtering and sorting area contains a Color panel. The Color panel displays selectable icons to represent each color variant of the collection's products.
For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview.
