Featured collections section

The “Featured Collections” section can be a powerful tool within your store that allows you to showcase a selection of your product collections in a prominent location. This section is designed to capture your customers’ attention and guide them towards your key collections, ultimately driving increased engagement and sales.

This section allows you to create a list of similarly themed, grouped collections, by selecting multiple collections within each collection block.

Section settings

Heading: Set a title for this section (optional).

Link label + Link: With these two settings you can create a link that will appear at the top right corner of the section. For example, if you have used this section to showcase a list of popular collections, you can add a link to your “All collections” page.

Collection card

Card type: Choose between “Card”, “Overlay card” and “Padded card” type for your collection cards. The “Card” type features a bordered appearance (making the posts look like a card), “Overlay card” type shows the card’s text content over the card’s image, and the “Padded card” type adds background and padding around the entire card, including the image.

Card ratio: This option allows you to select the ratio of the card that will appear on the section. “Adapt to first image” (default option) means that the ratio of all cards will be the inherent ratio of the first card’s image. Square, Portrait and Landscape will force the images to be displayed as squares, portraits or landscapes respectively.

Show title: Toggles the visibility of the card’s title. Please note that the card’s title is always the name of the first collection selected.

Show button: Toggles the visibility of the card’s button with a link to the first selected collection’s page.

Layout

Desktop layout: With the “Grid” option you can create a typical grid layout of collections. A “Slider” option is also available that lets you create a simple slider layout. For this to work, the number of collection blocks added in this section must be greater than the number of collection blocks visible as set by the following setting Number of columns on desktop.

Number of columns on desktop: Sets the number of columns (1,2,3 or 4).

Stack on mobile: By default, Maranello will try to create a flexible scrollable horizontal list of cards on mobile. If you prefer to create a vertical list of cards though, simply enable this option.

Colors

Color scheme: Select one of the predefined color schemes as defined in Theme settings > Colors. For more information regarding the color schemes please refer to our article about creating your own color scheme.

Section spacing

The section spacing settings gives you the option to adjust the top & bottom section spacing values. Please note: If you select a color scheme with a background color, these settings will affect the spacing between the top or bottom of the section and the content of the section.

Collection block

This section consists of “Collection” blocks, with the following settings:

Collections: Select the collections that will be featured in this block. Note that the first collection selected will (by default) provide the title, image, and main button link of the card. The rest of the collections will be listed in the card’s content with links to each respective collection. You can always rearrange the selected collections by dragging and dropping them on the selection tool.

Image: Optionally override the card’s main image with a custom one.

Button label: Optionally use a different button text.

Display button as text link: When checked, a link will be displayed instead of a button.

Button color scheme: Select one of the predefined color schemes as defined in Theme settings > Colors.

Heading size: The size of the collection’s title.

Mobile layout

Heading size: The collection’s title size in mobile devices.
