Featured collection

The Featured collection section creates a list of products from one of your collections. You can change the look and feel of the section by changing how many products it displays at once.

On mobile devices, one product is shown at a time. Customers can scroll left or right carousel style.

The featured collection can be displayed on the following page templates:

• The home page template
• The collection pages template

Set up a featured collection section on the home page

To set up this section on the home page:

1. From your theme’s “Customize” screen, choose Home page from the pages drop-down menu at the top of the screen.

   

2. Scroll down the list of home page settings until you see the Add section button.

   

3. Choose Featured collection from the list of sections, and press the Add button.

   This opens the featured collection section settings.

4. Choose the Style for the section, either Default or Contrast.

   If you select Contrast, this section uses Lorenza’s contrast colors.

5. Pick the Text position for this section.

   This places the section heading either before or beside the collection products. Choose between Top left, Top center, Top right, Middle left or Middle right options.

   Here’s an example of the Top center option, where the heading is displayed before the collection products:

   

   Here’s an example of the Middle left option, where the heading is displayed beside the collection products:

   Choose between 2 and 4 columns.

   Note that on mobile devices only one column is shown at once.

   Use Natural to use the original images. Or, use Square (1:1), Landscape (3:2), or Portrait (2:3) to have the images cropped to match one another.

   These all appear in the header area of the section.

10. Add Collection link text.
