The Gallery carousel section displays a single-row carousel of images with captions. Customers can click or horizontally scroll through the gallery of images.
Add this section to any template (except Checkout) 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
Add multiple gallery images with captions and re-order their position in the carousel.
Customize the shape of the collection images, and the position, style, and colors of the titles.
Add section headings and an optional button that can link to any page.
Adjust the overall style by changing the Padding around the section content, and add an optional Top divider to clearly separate sections.
