Best practices

Grid layout optimization

Use 4 columns on desktop for optimal visibility and efficient browsing. This balances card size with variety, letting customers see many options at once.

Aspect ratio consistency

3:4 portrait works well for most collection images and matches common product photography ratios. Maintain consistency across all cards for professional appearance.

Product count display

Always show product counts to help customers understand collection size and make informed browsing decisions. This is especially valuable when collection sizes vary significantly.

Selected mode strategy

Use “Selected collections” when you want to control order, visibility, or customize per-collection. Perfect for curated landing pages and seasonal campaigns.

All mode efficiency

Use “All collections” for stores with many collections that change frequently. This automates display and reduces manual maintenance.

Card style choice

Text with arrow encourages clicking and signals interactivity. Single text provides cleaner, more minimal aesthetic. Choose based on brand style.

Image consistency

Override images in blocks for consistent brand look across all collection cards, even when individual collections have varying image styles.

Mobile optimization

2 columns on mobile provides good balance between card size and scrolling length. Single column makes cards too large for quick browsing.

Pagination strategy

Enable infinity scroll for stores with 20+ collections to improve mobile experience. Traditional pagination works better for smaller collection counts where users want page-level control.
