Styling The Section


The Featured Collections section allows you to spotlight curated Shopify collections such as Best Sellers, New Arrivals, or Seasonal Picks in an engaging and organized layout.

It’s designed to guide customers toward high-performing or themed product groups, improving product discovery and navigation.

By strategically showcasing collections, you can boost cross-sells, upsells, and overall engagement, hence making it easier for visitors to explore your store and find what they love.

Step 1 — Header Content Settings

  • Title:

    Main heading. Example: “All Collections.”

  • Subtitle:

    Supporting tagline. Example: “Irresistible Charm with Axe's Exquisite Range of Unbeatable Products!”

Pro Tip: Keep the Title short and clear (e.g., “Shop by Collection”) and use the Subtitle to add personality or benefits.
