What it does

A label, the collection title (or your own heading) and a short text at the top of the collection page, left aligned or centered. It reads the collection unless you overwrite the heading, so the same template works for all collections.

When to use it

At the top of the collection template, under the breadcrumbs. Every collection page needs a heading; this is it.

Setting it up

  1. Write a Label such as Shop, or clear it.
  2. Leave Heading empty, or write one for a template used by a single collection.
  3. Write one line of Text and choose Alignment.

Tips

  • Leave Heading empty and the banner shows the collection's own title, so one template serves every collection.
  • The collection's description belongs in the Collection text section under the grid, where it helps search engines without pushing products down. Use the banner's Text for one line.
  • The demo turns the accent font off here. A collection title is a name, not a statement.
