Collection page and product grid

Collection page and product grid The Collection product grid is the main section of the collection template. It lays out a collection's products as a grid of cards and carries the filtering, sorting, and pagination controls. It is built into the template, so you edit it rather than add it from Add section. Every collection page in your store uses this template, so its settings apply to all of them. Collection page with the product grid Open it in the editor 1. In the theme editor, open the template selector at the top of the screen. 2. Choose Collections, then Default collection. 3. In the section list, select Collection product grid. To preview a real collection while you work, use the same selector to pick a specific collection from your store. Each grid cell is a block named Product card, built from its own child blocks: Image, Title, Price, Label, Rating, and Swatches. Select the Product card in the section's blocks to change what every card shows. See The product card below. Grid - Products per page: how many products load at once, from 8 to 48. With Infinite scroll pagination this is the size of each batch as the shopper scrolls. - Card size: the width of each card, which sets how many fit per row. Choose Small, Normal, or Large. Smaller cards fit more per row; larger cards show fewer, bigger cards. - Pagination: how shoppers move through a long collection. Pages adds numbered page links at the bottom. Infinite scroll loads the next batch as the shopper reaches the end. Filters and sort This grid carries the collection's filtering and sorting controls (Enable filtering, Enable sorting, Expand filter groups by default, and Desktop filter layout). They have their own article: see Filtering and sorting. Inline card - Show inline card: inserts a single content card into the flow of products, after the first two product rows on the first page only. Off by default. Use it to drop a promotion or an editorial note among the products without breaking the grid. When this is on, an Inline editorial card block appears in the section's blocks. Edit that block to set its content. The product card Each product is a Product card block, built from smaller blocks: Image, Title, Price, Label, Rating, and Swatches. To change what appears on every card (for example to hide the rating, or reorder the title and price), select the Product card block and edit its child blocks. Those changes apply to every product in the grid. There is no per product card setting. Other settings This section also uses the standard Color, Padding, Margin, and Visibility controls. See Common section settings. Tips - Products per page sets the batch size for Infinite scroll too, not only numbered pages. A smaller value loads faster on the first view and fetches more often as the shopper scrolls. - The Inline editorial card lands at a fixed spot after the first two rows on page one, so it works as a single feature, not a repeating banner.

Filtering and sorting

Filtering and sorting Filtering and sorting let shoppers narrow a collection and reorder the results. In Reign these controls live in the Collection product grid section, the main section of the collection template. The filter options themselves come from Shopify's free Search & Discovery app, not from the theme. The theme decides whether the controls appear and how the filter panel is laid out. Filter drawer with facets over the grid Where to find it 1. In the Shopify admin, open Online Store > Themes and click Customize on your Reign theme. 2. Open the page selector in the top bar and choose a collection page. 3. In the section list, click Collection product grid. 4. Open the Filters and sort group to reach the controls below. Where the filters come from Reign reads whatever filters you set up in the Search & Discovery app and renders them on the collection page. The theme does not define which filters exist or what values they hold. 1. Install Shopify Search & Discovery from the Shopify App Store. It is free. 2. In the app, open Filters and add the filters you want (for example product type, color, price, availability). 3. In the theme editor, make sure Enable filtering is on. With no filters set up in the app, the filter control has nothing to show. Sorting is separate: it works without the app, using the collection's built-in sort options. Filters and sort These settings sit under the Filters and sort heading. - Enable filtering: shows the filter control and the applied-filter chips. Turn it off to hide filtering even when Search & Discovery has filters set up. The setting links to Shopify's guide for customizing filters in the app. - Enable sorting: shows the Sort by control so shoppers can reorder the grid (for example by price or newest). The options come from Shopify's standard collection sort list, which you cannot rename or reorder in the theme. - Expand filter groups by default: opens every filter group when the panel loads, instead of showing them collapsed. Available when Enable filtering is on. Use it for short filter lists. Leave it off when you have many groups, so the panel stays scannable. - Desktop filter layout: how the filter panel appears on desktop. Drawer opens the filters as a sliding overlay from a Filter button. Sidebar pins the filters in a column beside the grid. Available when Enable filtering is on. On phones the filters always open as a drawer, whatever you pick here. What shoppers see You do not configure these, but they explain how the controls behave: - A Filter button (with a count of active filters) and the Sort by control sit in a toolbar above the grid, next to the product count. - Choosing a filter or a sort option updates the grid in place, without a full page reload. The web address updates too, so a filtered view can be shared or bookmarked. - Active filters show as individual removable chips above the grid. Each chip removes one filter. To reset everything at once, use the Clear all link inside the filter panel (the drawer or sidebar). - When filters narrow the grid to no results, the section shows an empty state with a Clear all link back to the full collection. Common section settings The Collection product grid also uses the standard Color, Padding, Margin, and Visibility controls. See Common section settings. For the grid, card size, pagination, and inline card options in the same section, see the collection grid article. Tips - Filters are a Search & Discovery setting, not a theme setting. To change which filters appear, or to rename or reorder them, edit them in the app. The theme only decides whether the control shows and how it is laid out. - If filters never appear with Enable filtering on, the collection has no filters set up. Add them in Search & Discovery, then reload the storefront. - Reach for the Sidebar layout on collections with many filters, so shoppers refine without opening and closing a drawer. Keep the Drawer layout when the grid should use the full page width. - Filtering and sorting work independently. You can leave Enable sorting on while Enable filtering is off if you only want shoppers to reorder the grid.

Collection banner

Collection banner The Collection banner is the section at the top of a collection page. It shows the collection's image, title, and description. Reign adds this section to the collection template for you, so you do not add it from Add section. You edit it inside the collection template. The banner's title and description come from the collection itself, not from section settings, so this section has no blocks. To change the wording, edit the collection in Products > Collections. The banner image comes from that collection's Image field on the same page. Collection banner with a title over an image Find and open the section 1. In the Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes. 2. On your Reign theme, click Customize. 3. In the top bar, open the template picker and choose a collection template. 4. In the section list, click Collection banner to open its settings. If the banner looks empty or shows no image, the collection you are previewing has no image set. Pick a collection with an image, or add one in Products > Collections. Settings These two controls sit at the top of the panel. - Show breadcrumbs: Turns the breadcrumb trail (Home / collection name) above the title on or off. - Image focus: Sets which part of the collection image stays in view as the banner crops to different screen sizes. The value runs from 0 to 100 percent across the image. Raise it to keep the right side in frame, lower it to keep the left. This applies to every collection that uses this template, so choose a value that suits your images as a group. Size - Desktop height: The banner height on desktop, as a share of the screen height. Runs from 40 to 100 percent. - Mobile height: The banner height on mobile, as a share of the screen height. Runs from 40 to 100 percent. This section also uses the standard Color and Margin controls. See Common section settings. Tips - The banner shares one set of settings across every collection on this template. Image focus, height, and color apply the same way to each collection page. Only the title, description, and image change per collection, and those come from the collection record. - Title and description are not editor fields. To change the banner text for a collection, edit that collection's title or description in Products > Collections. - If text is hard to read over a light image, keep Use dark header theme over this section on (in the Color group) and pick a Color scheme that gives the title enough contrast.

All collections page

All collections page The all collections page lists every collection in your store, or a set you choose. Reign builds it from the Collections list section, which can show your collections as a varied mosaic or as a uniform grid with pagination. This section is tied to the all collections page template. It does not appear in the Add section list on other pages. All collections page with a mosaic of collection cards Open the section 1. In the theme editor, open the template picker at the top of the screen. 2. Choose the Collections list page (the all collections page). 3. Select the Collections list section in the editor sidebar. Header The section opens with a Header content slot that holds the eyebrow, heading, and intro text above your collections. The default heading is Shop by collection. Edit, reorder, or remove these blocks the way you would in any section. Layout These settings control which collections show and how they are arranged. - Collections: pick the collections to list, in the order you want them. Leave it empty to list every collection in the store. - Layout: Mosaic uses varied tile sizes for an editorial look. Grid uses uniform cards with pagination. The settings below change to match your choice. - Maximum collections shown: the cap on how many collections appear in Mosaic layout (3 to 24). It applies only when no collections are picked above. - Collections per page: how many collections show per page in Grid layout before pagination starts (6 to 24). - Columns on desktop: the number of columns in Grid layout on desktop (2 to 5). - Columns on mobile: the number of columns in Grid layout on phones, 1 column or 2 columns. Each card uses the collection's image. A collection with no image falls back to its first product's image, then to a plain surface showing the collection title. Color This section uses the standard Color scheme control, plus Use dark header theme over this section to switch the header to its dark styling while it sits over this section. This section also uses the standard Padding, Margin, and Visibility controls. See Common section settings. Tips - Pick collections under Collections when you want a fixed, hand ordered set, with your flagship collection first. Leave it empty to keep the page in sync as you add and remove collections. - Maximum collections shown has no effect once you pick collections under Collections, because the picked set already defines what appears. - Give each collection an image in the Shopify admin so the cards look intentional. The first product image and the title surface are fallbacks, not a substitute for a chosen image.

Search page and search overlay

Search page and search overlay Reign handles search in two places. The Search overlay opens when a shopper clicks the search icon in the header and shows live suggestions as they type. The Search results section is the full page they reach after submitting a query, at /search. You edit each one in a different place in the theme editor. Predictive search overlay with results Edit the search results page This section fills the search template. You cannot add or remove it, and there is one per store. 1. In the theme editor, open the template selector at the top of the screen. 2. Choose Search under the Templates list. 3. Click the Search results section in the sidebar to open its settings. Results are grouped into tabs (products, articles, pages) when more than one type matches. Product results use Reign's product card, so the card's own blocks (image, title, price, label, rating, swatches) control how each result looks, the same as on a collection page. Results - Products per page: how many products load before pagination starts. Range 8 to 48, in steps of 4. - Desktop filter layout: where filters appear on desktop. Drawer opens filters in a panel from a button. Sidebar keeps them in a column beside the results. On mobile, filters always use the drawer. Filters themselves come from the Shopify Search & Discovery app, not from this section. Empty state These control what a shopper sees on the search page before there is a query. - Show recent searches: shows the shopper their own recent searches, kept on their device. - Show popular collections: shows a row of collection cards drawn from your store's collections. - Maximum collections to show: caps how many collection cards appear (2 to 6). Available when Show popular collections is on. This section also uses the standard Color, Padding, Margin, and Visibility controls. See Common section settings. Edit the search overlay The overlay is part of Reign's Overlays group, which loads on every page (alongside the cart drawer), so it is not in the Templates list and you do not add it from Add section. It opens over the page when a shopper clicks the search icon in the header. 1. In the theme editor, open any page. 2. In the sidebar, expand the Overlays group. 3. Click Search overlay to open its settings. Before a shopper types, the overlay can show trending terms, recent searches, and popular collections. Once they start typing, those are replaced with live suggestions. Empty state This is what shoppers see in the overlay before they type. - Trending searches: suggested search terms shown as tappable tags. Enter one term per line. Leave it blank to hide the trending section. These are static terms you type, not automatic. - Show recent searches: shows the shopper their own recent searches, kept on their device. - Show popular collections: shows collection cards in the overlay. - Collections: pick up to 6 collections to feature as popular collections. Leave it empty to use your first collections. - Maximum collections to show: caps how many collection cards appear (2 to 6). This applies when you have not picked a specific list in Collections, and only when Show popular collections is on. Search input - Placeholder text: the grey hint text inside the search field before the shopper types. This section also uses the standard Color controls. See Common section settings. No results fallback When the overlay's live suggestions find no matches, Reign can show products from a fallback collection so the shopper still has something to browse. This is one store-wide setting (No results fallback collection) in Theme settings: see Search settings. Tips - Filters on the results page are driven by the Shopify Search & Discovery app. If you see no filter button, you have no filters set up there. Desktop filter layout only changes how existing filters display. - The recent searches list lives on each shopper's device, so it looks empty in a fresh preview. That is expected. - The overlay and the results page each carry their own Color scheme and their own popular collection settings. Set both if you want a consistent look from the overlay through to the full results page.
