Hi @JimvanAken 

Adding banner on the collection page? Or Inserting the banner image to the grid of collections?

Hello @JimvanAken ,

There are two ways to add a banner image to your product grid in a Shopify collection template:

1. Using the Theme Editor (For Beginners)

Shopify themes often come with a visual theme editor that allows adding elements without coding. Here's a general guideline (consult your theme's documentation for specifics):

• Access the theme editor in your Shopify admin.
• Locate the collection page template section.
• Find a section named "Collection banner" or similar (it might be hidden by default).
• Within the collection banner section, you should be able to upload a banner image and customize its appearance.

2. Using Code Editing (For Advanced Users)

For more control or if your theme lacks a banner option, you can edit the collection template code using Liquid. Here's how:

1. Find the code block responsible for displaying the product grid in your collection template (usually collection.liquid or main-collection.liquid).
2. Use conditional statements (like {% if forloop.index == 1 %}) to insert your banner image code before the product grid code. This ensures the banner appears only once above the first row of products.
3. Inside the inserted code, specify the image source (URL or path from your Shopify files) and any desired styling.
   
   

{% if section.settings.banner_enabled %}  <div class="collection-banner">
    <img src="{{ section.settings.banner_image | asset_url }}" alt="{{ section.settings.banner_alt_text }}">
  </div>
{% endif %}

{% for product in collection.products %}
  {% endfor %}
​

Important Considerations:

• Theme Updates: Theme updates might overwrite your code edits. Consider using a child theme to isolate your customizations.
• Multiple Banners: Code editing for unique banners per collection can get complex. If you need this functionality, explore a Shopify app like Pagefly that allows drag-and-drop page building.

Hi @JimvanAken ,
This is Theodore from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App.

There are two ways to add a banner image to your product grid in the collection template on Shopify:

1. Theme Editor (if available):

• Easier method for themes with visual editors.
• Look for sections related to the collection template or product grid.
• Upload your banner image and configure its position within the product grid (if theme editor allows).

2. Theme Code Editing (more control):

• Requires some coding knowledge and comfort editing theme code.
• Locate the collection template file (e.g., collection.liquid).
• Find the code that controls the product grid layout.
• Add a conditional statement to insert an image tag with the banner image path and alt text only if it's the desired collection.

Important: Back up your theme before editing code.

Best regards,
Theodore | PageFly
