Featured products in collection

[MTSport]

I need to display three featured products on each collection page.  I want these products for be specifically from that  collection and not the same products displayed across all collection pages, which is all I have been able to create so far!
I can't work out how to create this so any advice appreciated. 

Thanks

Hi,

This is Richard at PageFly - Shopify Advanced Page Builder app.

To display three featured products on each collection page that are specifically from that collection, you can use Liquid programming and Shopify's built-in features. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Create a Liquid Snippet:

• Go to your Shopify admin.
• Navigate to Online Store > Themes.
• Click the Actions menu for your active theme and select Edit code.
• Create a new snippet named featured_products.liquid.

2. Write the Liquid Code:

Paste the following code into the featured_products.liquid snippet:

{% if collection.products.size > 0 %}
  <h3>Featured Products</h3>
  <div class="featured-products">
    {% for product in collection.products.limit(3) %}
      <div class="featured-product">
        <a href="{{ product.url }}">
          <img src="{{ product.images.first.url | img_url: 'small' }}" alt="{{ product.title }}">
        </a>
        <h4><a href="{{ product.url }}">{{ product.title }}</a></h4>
        <p>{{ product.price | money }}</p>
      </div>
    {% endfor %}
  </div>
{% endif %}

3. Add the Snippet to Your Collection Template:

• Navigate to Online Store > Themes.
• Click the Actions menu for your active theme and select Edit code.
• Find the collection.liquid template and open it.
• Locate the section where you want to display the featured products.
• Add the following code to that section:

{% include 'featured_products' %}

Hoping my solution helps you solve your problem.

Best regards,

Hi MTSport,

You might want to try creating a Meta-field for a featured products in the Collection
You’ll require Shopify Meta fields to store specific product information for each collection. Meta fields allow you to attach additional data to various parts of your store.

Navigate to your Shopify Admin panel.
Go to Settings > Custom data > Collections.

• Click on Add definition and create a new metafield definition.
• Name it something like Featured Products.
• Set the content type to Product and select List of Products to allow for multiple product entries.
• Save the metafield.
• You will need to add your metafield to your specific collection which you want the product to be displayed (by adding featured product go to Products > Collections on your shopify dashboard, select the collection you want to edit., under the metafields section you will find the featured products, then you will add them the newly three products you want to feature in this collection.
• Repeat this process for each collection then you will have to modify your collection template in your store theme.
• Go to Online Store > Themes > Click Actions > Edit Code.

Open the collection.liquid file (or the template).

If you are using a section-based theme, look for collection-template.liquid or similar under Sections. CTRL+ F to find then you have to paste your custom code, if need be, seek help from an expert or ask your dev for guidance

Explanation:
Metafields allow you to store additional information about your collections (in this case, a list of featured products).
Liquid template changes let you pull that data and display it on the front end. The code dynamically checks if the metafield is set for the collection and displays the corresponding products.

Thanks for taking the time to read!
