Collection with Image Changing which products are shown

Store Design

Topic summary

Issue: A homepage “collection with image” section is auto-populating products from a chosen collection, surfacing a best‑selling Christmas design during summer. The store owner wants to keep the product active sitewide but prevent it from appearing on the homepage.

Suggested approach: Replace the section’s collection setting with a product_list setting to manually pick which products display. The product_list setting lets you curate specific items instead of relying on Shopify’s automatic selection.

Implementation: Requires theme code changes; can be done by someone comfortable with code or by hiring a developer at a reasonable cost.

Status: Guidance provided; no confirmation of implementation or resolution yet. Key question remaining: whether the store owner will switch to product_list and adjust the theme accordingly.

On my home page I added collection with image. The collection I choose has a bunch of different designs. The problem is that Shopify automatically selects which products from that collection are shown.

Is there a way to change this and add the products I choose?

Right now it keeps populating with one of my best sellers but it is a Christmas design and we are going into summer so I do not want Christmas showing at all on my home page. Since this is a top seller that sells year round I do want to keep it active on my site all year. I just need help hiding it from

Hello @Durazza

Welcome to Shopify Community.

Yes, instead of using collection setting, product_list setting can be used to add products of your choice in the section.

If you are good with code you can change it by yourself, or you can seek help of a developer at a reasonable cost.

Let me know if I can be helpful in anyways.

Thanks
