@LaurneceKay - in collection template liquid file, you will need to change the text as well as add the link to the particular product. This will involve code editing.

Hi @LaurneceKay ,

Certainly, I can do that, but I’ll require access to your store.

HI @LaurneceKay

Your request need to modify the theme code. This requires access to and editing of the theme’s code files.

Unfortunately, we can’t provide support for custom code modifications. I recommend hiring a developer to handle this for you. You can find experienced Shopify developers on platforms like Shopify Experts or freelance marketplaces.

Best,

Daisy
