By default, the featured collections section on your home page shows the first 5 collections in your store. You can override the default behaviour and display featured collections that you select there instead. Each of the links shows an image from the first product in your collection, or it can display the image you have specified for that collection in the “Collections” section of your store’s Toolbox.

To customise the featured collections displayed on your home page, follow the instructions below.

Customising the featured collections on your home page

  1. Go to the "Store menus" tab in your store's Toolbox
  2. Click the "Add a new menu" button in the top right of your screen, and create a menu called "Featured Collections".
  3. Your new empty menu should appear at the bottom of the page. Click the "Add new Menu Item" link in your new menu.
  4. In the "Name of new Menu Item:" field, enter the text that you want to appear for this image.
  5. For the "This Menu Item links to:" field, select "Product collection"
  6. A new field will appear to the right that lists your product collections. Select the collection you want to display
  7. Click the "Add menu item" button to save.
  8. Repeat steps 3 through 7 to add more collections to your home page.


Uploading a collection image to display instead of a product image

  1. Go to the "Collections" section of your Toolbox
