Show custom images for collections

---

To show custom images for collection pages using the same template, you can use metafields and dynamic sources. Use this option if you want to show different images without changing the collection image in your Shopify admin.

There are three general steps:

1. Create a 'file' metafield for collections.

2. Add custom images to the new metafield in your collections.

3. In your theme editor, add the metafield as a dynamic source to the banner image setting.

STEPS

Create a File metafield for your collections

1. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Custom data.

   
2. Select Collections.

3. Click Add definition.

4. In the Name field, enter a name that describes what the metafield is for. For example: “Banner image”.

   
5. Click (+) Select type and select File.

6. Under Validations, make sure Accept specific file types is selected, and uncheck Videos.

7. Click Save.

Add images to metafield in collection settings

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Products > Collections and open your collection.

2. Scroll down to the Metafields area, and click the banner image metafield you created to select an image.

   If no image is uploaded to your banner image metafield, the theme will use the default collection image.

   
3. Click Save.

Connect metafield to the banner image setting

1. In your theme editor (Customize), go to the collection template and click Collection banner.

2. Under Collection image banner, click the Connect dynamic source button in the top-right of the image field.\

   
3. Select your custom metafield from the list.

4. Click Save.

Metafields allow you to store extra information about your products, collections, or pages. You can create custom metafields in the Shopify admin. In the theme editor, you can add dynamic sources to automatically display the metafield content for the current page.
