different custom text in each navigation page collection header

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner using the Impulse theme needs to customize collection header text that appears on navigation pages without changing the actual collection names in the backend.

The Problem:

  • Manual collections display their full backend names (e.g., “1st level Nintendo”) in page headers
  • The user wants customer-facing headers to show simplified text (e.g., “Nintendo”) while keeping detailed internal collection names for product management purposes
  • Navigation menu items can be customized, but collection page headers pull directly from the collection name

Current Workaround:

  • User has resorted to changing the collection name itself, which affects backend organization

Desired Solution:

  • Ability to set custom header text for each collection page independently from the collection’s actual name
  • This would allow maintaining detailed internal naming conventions while presenting clean, customer-friendly headers

The discussion remains open with no solution provided yet.

hi I need help if anyone knows how to do custom writting for each navigation page collection header. My issue is I can name the navigation what I want to show to the consumer and thought I could do the same for the collections but it wont work and only displays the full name I have called the collection so i can easily differentiate from the titles when adding products. I want to use manual collections and not automated so have run into trouble as a result. See snips below of the issue, I would just like to be able to manual alter where it says ‘‘Nintendo 1st level’’ to say ‘‘Nintendo’’ for the customer without changing the heading name of my collection itself where this data is pulled from. First picture is what I have had to do for now and not show anything and second picture is what I would like it to be but to be able to custom name the heading for each page without affecting the collection name. Thanks!

I’m using the impulse theme in shopify btw
