Can I add a Subtitle to my collection list page

Topic summary

Goal: Add a short description/subtitle under the main title on the Collections list page in a Shopify store.

What was tried/suggested:

  • A responder says this is typically possible via the theme editor, depending on the theme. Steps:
    • Shopify admin > Online Store > Themes > Customize.
    • Open the “Collections list” page template.
    • Look for a setting like “Page content” or “Description” in the sidebar/sections and add the text there.
  • Another participant asked for the store URL to check specifics, implying theme-dependent behavior.

Notes:

  • The reply included promotional content and screenshots for a helpdesk app; these are not essential to the solution.

Current status:

  • No confirmed solution yet. It likely depends on whether the active theme exposes a Description/Page content field for the Collections list template.

Open items / next steps:

  • Provide the store URL and theme name for targeted guidance.
  • If the theme lacks a built-in description field, customizations may be needed (e.g., adding a rich text section to the collections list template via the theme editor or editing theme code).
