Use dynamic sources for banner image
You can use an image metafield and dynamic source to display unique banner images for collections using the same template. You might want to use this option if you want to use an image that’s different than the default image uploaded to your collections in the Shopify admin.
Metafields allow you to store extra information about your products. In your Shopify admin, you can create and populate custom fields for specific parts of your store (such as products). In your theme editor, you can use dynamic sources to automatically display the correct content from your metafields.
