Create Visual Context: Use a high-quality Collection Image that visually represents the collection's theme. For example, a picture of a model wearing swimwear for a "Summer Collection."
Enhance Discoverability: Leverage the Sub Collections block to help customers navigate a large product catalog. For example, within a "Clothing" collection, offer sub-collections like "Dresses," "Tops," and "Pants."
Keep Key Controls Accessible: Use the "Sticky on top" scroll style for your Sort & Filter block. This ensures that customers can sort and filter products at any point as they scroll down, without having to scroll back to the top of the page.
Optimize Your Search Experience: Use the "Edit Search Page" functionality to configure a helpful Empty State with popular categories or recent searches. Also, use the Suggestions feature to guide customers as they type, helping them find products faster.
Write Engaging Descriptions: Use the Collection Description to tell a story or explain the value of the products in a collection. This adds rich context that a product grid alone cannot provide.
1: Where do I manage the content for my Collection Image and Description?
The data for both the Collection Image and Collection Description blocks is automatically synced from your e-commerce platform, such as Shopify. You should manage this content directly within your Shopify admin's collection settings, and the changes will be reflected in your app.
2: How do I choose what products appear in my PLP? The Product Grid automatically appears on your PLP and displays the products from the collection that page is linked to. You can control which products are in a collection by managing them in your Shopify admin.
3: Can I change the available sort options? Yes. In the Sort & Filter block's properties, you can enable, disable, and reorder the individual sorting criteria like "Price: Low - High" or "Best Selling" to best suit your customers' needs.
4: What is the purpose of the "Sticky on top" scroll style? The "Sticky on top" scroll style keeps a block persistently visible at the top of the screen even as the customer scrolls down. This is particularly useful for navigation elements like Sort & Filter or Sub Collections to ensure they are always accessible.
Review Your Collections in Shopify: Go into your Shopify admin and ensure that every collection you plan to feature has a high-quality header image and a compelling description. This will automatically populate your app's PLPs.
Configure Your Sort & Filter: Go to your app builder and access a PLP. Experiment with enabling and reordering the sort options to match your customers' shopping habits. Make the block "sticky on top" to test the improved user experience.
Customize Your Search Experience: Go to the "Edit Search Page" functionality and configure the Empty State with popular categories. Begin adding placeholder texts to your search bar to make it more engaging for your customers.
