Display a banner/ background with highlighted features/ offers on a collection page can effectively improve customers' shopping experiences and boost your sales.
## How to add a Collection banner section to your Shopify store
Steps:
1. In the theme editor (**Customize**), open the template selector.
2. Select **Collections**, then **Default collection.**
3. On the left-side bar, add **Collection banner** section.
## How to show collection-specific banners
To display unique images for each collection, you can use **Shopify metafields**, which allows you to assign a banner image for desktop and mobile view per collection dynamically.
**Steps to Add Collection Banner Metafields:**
*You need to create two metafield definitions, one for desktop and one for mobile view.*
1. Go to **Shopify Admin > Settings > Custom Data > Collections**.
2. Create 2 new metafield definitions:
* **Namespace and key:**
* For desktop banner: `foxtheme.collection_banner`
* For mobile banner: `foxtheme.collection_banner_mobile`
* **Type:** File (Image)


3. Save the metafield definition.
4. Navigate to **Products > Collections**, select a collection, and upload an image under the new metafield.

Once set up, your collection pages will dynamically display the assigned banner image.
