Collection Page in Shopify
A collection page in Shopify is a web page that displays a curated collection of products from your store. It allows you to group related products together, making it easier for customers to browse and purchase items that are relevant to their interests.
In Shopify, you can create collections manually or automatically based on specific criteria, such as product tags, vendors, or price ranges. Once you have created a collection, you can customize its page layout, including the number of products displayed per page, the sort order, and filters.
Common collection page elements include product images, titles, descriptions, prices, and add-to-cart buttons. In addition, you can enhance your page by incorporating banners, text blocks, or videos, which can provide context or promote featured products.
Optimizing your collection pages for search engines can help drive more traffic to your store and improve your sales. Use relevant keywords, high-quality images, and informative product information in your titles, descriptions, and tags. Additionally, social proof elements such as customer reviews or ratings can help build trust with potential buyers and increase conversions.
