Hi @Sivadarshan

Based on the image, you might want to create an additional tag collection and add it to one of the displayed boxes, as shown.

For example, in the image, you’re currently on the collection page named “Best Seller - Women”. To do this:

  1. Go to Shopify Admin.
  2. Navigate to the “Best Seller - Women” Collection.
  3. Create an additional tag here to add the necessary information.

I hope this helps

Best,

Daisy

@DaisyVo thanks for the reply, is that possible to create this kind of sub-collection in the dawn theme, is there any requirement for custom coding for this type of sub-collection listing? If there any code or tutorial is there it’ll be very useful for implementing

@Sivadarshan

Please share the link of the store in your screenshot so I can take a closer look

Hi @Sivadarshan

After reviewing, it appears that this customization is highly complex and requires deep intervention in the code. It would be advisable for you to consider hiring a developer to assist with this task. This approach will also help you achieve the desired outcome with a polished and reliable implementation.

Best,
