By default, images shown on Collections list page and Collection banner are your collections' featured images when enabled.

However, you can replace the default collection banner with images more appropriate in aspect ratio.

For example: you can use a square image as a featured image of a collection to optimize your Collections list page, and use another image to fit your Collection banner.

Make sure you enable the option Show collection image in the section settings.

💡 Pro tips

  • No image? No problem. You can still use this section to display a clean title and intro for SEO and clarity.
  • Keep collection descriptions short and scannable — one paragraph works best.
  • Use a high-contrast image if you're placing text over it — or lower the overlay opacity to ensure legibility.
