Rather than just show products on your home page, you can override the default behaviour and display your featured collections there instead. Each of the links can also display a slideshow of the first 5 products in your collection, or can display the image you have specified for that collection in the “Collections” section of your store’s Toolbox.
To add a list of featured collections to your home page, follow the instructions below.
Contents
Adding featured collections to your home page
- Go to the "Store menus" tab in your store's Toolbox
- Click the "Add a new menu item" button in the top right of your screen, and create a menu called "Home page".
- Your new empty menu should appear at the bottom of the page. Click the "Add new Menu Item" link in your new menu.
- In the "Name of new Menu Item:" field, enter the text that you want to appear for this image.
- For the "This Menu Item links to:" field, select "Product collection"
- A new field will appear to the right that lists your product collections. Select the collection you want to display
- Click the "Add menu item" button to save.
Displaying your featured collections as a slideshow
You can choose to display a slideshow of the first 5 products in your featured collection. To do this, you just need to turn on the option in your theme editor.
- Go to the "Design & assets -> Theme editor" section of your Toolbox
- Scroll down to the "Collection menus" section
- Tick the "Display collection menus as a slideshow?" option
- Scroll down and click the "Save settings" button.
Uploading a collection image to display instead of a product image
New feature! You can now upload an image to display for your collection, rather than the first product in your collection.
- Go to the "Collections" section of your Toolbox
- Click on the collection name that you want to upload an image for
- Upload your image in the "Collection Images" section.
