Collection list grid

Theme section

The Collection list grid section displays a grid of all or selected collections. See the Collection list slider to display your collections as a rotatable carousel in one row.

Set up section

Add this section to your template and use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order its position. You can add this section multiple times with different content and settings.

Editing a template changes all pages that use that template. To edit specific pages, you can create new templates or insert dynamic content with metafields

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

  1. Select a Template to edit from the dropdown menu in the top bar.

    Learn how to use templates in our Templates guide.

We recommend adding a Collection image in your Shopify Admin. If no image is set, Stiletto will use a product image from that collection by default.

Choose the shape of the collection images, and change the position, style, and colors of the titles.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

  1. Click on Collection list grid and scroll down to the Collection listing settings.

  2. To make your collection images a uniform shape and size, select a Collection listing aspect ratio to crop all images to Square, Landscape, or Portrait.

    The default Natural setting will display the original orientation of each image.

  3. Set the Collection listing title style to Overlay the image or position it Beneath the image.

  4. For the Overlay title style, set the Background style to a Solid color or a Gradient.

    Use the color selectors to change the Overlay title background and Overlay title color.

    We recommend using WebAIM's contrast checker when matching colors to make sure your text is clear and readable for everyone.
