Check this post of mine – Different Featured Collection Designs for Desktop and Mobile (ATEILER Theme) - #4 by tim_1
That’s how you can configure your “featured collection” differently on mobile and desktop.
Do not make the numbers high though as rendering your collection grids takes time.
Topic summary
Merchant wants different product counts on the homepage by device: 5 across on desktop, but 6 items on mobile (currently shows 5 items, 2 per row). Seeks a workaround without reducing to 1 per row on mobile.
Key guidance and options:
- Theme customization: A referenced guide shows how to configure the Featured Collection (homepage product grid) differently on desktop vs mobile in some themes; caution to avoid high item counts due to performance.
- Limitations: Default theme settings typically keep the same product count across devices; changing per-device counts is difficult without custom code.
- Layout norms: Several suggest common patterns like 4 per row on desktop and 2 per row on mobile, aligning with many competitors.
- Alternative: If the theme lacks per-device controls, enabling “Carousel on mobile” (slider) can improve mobile presentation; a screenshot illustrates this setting.
Status: No built-in universal solution; options are theme-specific customization, standard layouts, or mobile carousel. Discussion remains open.
