# Collections

Display and promote your Shopify collections with 10 layout options — grids, tabs, editorial cards, new arrivals, and related collections.

Ten sections for showcasing products by collection — from simple grids and tabbed interfaces to editorial layouts with sticky media, and new arrivals from a collection you choose. Each section has its own page below.

### Section overview

| Section                                                                                                                    | What it does                                                                                                  |

### Quick decision guide

**Simple product grid from one collection?** → [Featured collection with product grid](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/featured-collection-with-product-grid.md) — the products of the collection you pick, in the order the collection itself is sorted.

**Showcase multiple collections as a directory?** → [Featured collections](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/featured-collections.md) or [Featured collection grid](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/featured-collection-grid.md) for collection cards, [Collection list with popover image](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/collection-list-with-popover-image.md) for an editorial list.

**Let visitors switch between collections without page reload?** → [Featured collection tabs](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/featured-collection-tabs.md) — inline tabbed interface with product grids per tab.

**Highlight new products automatically?** → [New arrivals collection](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/new-arrivals-collection.md) for a single collection sorted by newest first, [New arrivals tabs](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/new-arrivals-tabs.md) for the same thing across several collections, one per tab.

**Editorial layout mixing media and products?** → [Featured collection with media](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/featured-collection-with-media.md) for a large image or video alongside products, [Collection with sticky image](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/collection-with-sticky-image.md) for an image that stays pinned while the grid scrolls.

**Cross-sell related categories?** → [Related collections](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/related-collections.md) — collection and brand links built from the product in view.

### Shared features

Not every section in this group shows the same kind of card, and the difference decides which settings you get.

[Featured collection grid](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/featured-collection-grid.md), [Featured collections](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/featured-collections.md), [Collection list with popover image](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/collection-list-with-popover-image.md) and [Related collections](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/related-collections.md) render **collection cards** — an image, a title and a link to a collection page. There are no prices, no colour swatches and no quick view in these four, because there is no single product behind the card.

[Featured collection tabs](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/featured-collection-tabs.md), [New arrivals tabs](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/new-arrivals-tabs.md), [Featured collection with media](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/featured-collection-with-media.md), [Featured collection with product grid](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/featured-collection-with-product-grid.md), [Collection with sticky image](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/collection-with-sticky-image.md) and [New arrivals collection](/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections/new-arrivals-collection.md) render **product cards**, and share the full card set: image ratio and focal point, hover behaviour, add to cart, quick view, colour pills, vendor, rating, short description and pickup availability.

What all ten share is the frame around the content — a section heading with its own size, tag and colour, mobile layout controls, colour scheme overrides, and separate desktop and mobile padding.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://staylime.com/docs/avante-themes/sections/collections.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
