Collection list

The page that lists every collection in your store, at /collections. This section renders it: a page heading, an optional editorial intro, and a grid of collection cards — each showing the collection's featured image, its title, its product count, and a "View collection" arrow.

It lives on the list collections template, so it's what you edit when you customize that page in the theme editor, where it appears as Collection list.

What it looks like

Here's the collection list alongside its settings in the theme editor. The left panel shows the settings you'll see in Customize, and the right shows the result on your storefront. There is no control for adding cards, because there are no blocks — the grid is your store's own collections.

What shows and what doesn't

The grid only shows collections a shopper can actually browse:

• Empty collections are skipped. A collection with zero products never renders as a bare tile.
• The auto-generated "Home page" collection is skipped. Shopify creates it for every store; it isn't a real shopping destination.

If nothing is left to show, the section renders a single line — "No collections yet — check back soon." — instead of an empty grid.

Settings

Setting	What it does
Eyebrow	Small uppercase label above the page title (e.g. Explore). Leave blank to hide it.
Subtitle	One-line intro under the page title. Leave blank to hide it.
Grid item width	Small for a compact grid, Large for bigger cards.
Color scheme	Which of your theme's color schemes the section uses.
Card corner radius	How rounded this section's cards are. Leave on Use theme default to follow Theme settings → Layout.
Card shadow	How much this section's cards lift off the page. Leave on Use theme default to follow Theme settings → Layout.

The page title itself is the theme's translated "Collections" heading — it isn't a setting, so it stays consistent across your store's languages.

Blocks

This section does not use blocks.

The Uisce mosaic

On the Uisce preset the desktop grid is an editorial mosaic: depending on how many collections you have, the first cards become double-size feature tiles, calculated so the grid always fills cleanly with no orphan row (exactly three collections get a clean three-across row; other counts fill a four-column grid). The other presets keep the plain uniform grid, and on phones every preset stacks the cards one per row.

You don't configure any of this — add or remove collections and the mosaic re-balances itself.

When it isn't showing

This section has no blocks. It lists every collection in your store, taken from Shopify's own collection list and paginated, so what appears is decided in Products › Collections in the admin rather than in the theme editor.

Two kinds are filtered out on purpose: a collection with no products in it, and the automatic "Home page" (frontpage) collection. A store whose only collection is the frontpage one therefore sees the empty-state message rather than a single ghost tile.

If a collection is missing, check that it has at least one product. If a card is blank, that collection has no image.
