Collection Page

A Collection Page in Shopify displays a list of products grouped by category (called a collection). It helps customers:

• Browse items with a common theme (like "T-Shirts" or "Summer Sale")

• Navigate your store faster

• Discover more products they might want to buy

🧩 What Is a Collection Page?

It’s a page that automatically pulls and displays all products that belong to a specific collection. For example:

Collection Name	Products Shown
T-Shirts	All products tagged as T-Shirts
Summer Sale	All discounted products for the season
Skincare	All products in the “Skincare” category

Shopify automatically generates these pages when you create a collection.

Why Collection Pages Matter

• They improve navigation and user experience

• They boost SEO with keyword-rich URLs (e.g., /collections/skincare)

• They make it easier to apply filters and sorting

• You can custom design them using templates and sections

🛠 What You Can Customize on the Collection Page

Section	Description
Collection Image	Banner image shown at the top (optional)
Collection Title	Display or hide the collection’s name
Collection Description	Use rich text to describe the collection
Product Grid	Control layout (2, 3, 4 columns etc.)

Sidebar Blocks	Show categories, brands, badges, or blog links
