How can I add a section to my collection page on a paid theme?

Hello everyone,

We recently built our first Shopify store starting from a paid theme. But we have gradually found out the many limitations this platform can have.

This time we’ll try to overcome one with your help hopefully. In brief, our collection and product pages are pretty dull. We cannot add sections as we do on our home page of course. What would be the smartest and most practical way to solve this (no apps possibly)? Even just being able to add an image with some text could make a difference.

Note that we have a page.sections (that allows to add several sections) that we can select when creating a custom page, but it seems that you can use that just once because when using it again the content is replicated. Couldn’t we use page.sections again and make another different page from scratch?

Thank you a lot.

HI @coplercare
Thank you for your question.
the first you need to clone the section you have,
and in collection page, you need to add the section into with the code like this:

{% section 'your section name' %}

example like this image:

Hey, @coplercare

You can create additional templates for various areas of your Shopify store, including collection pages. The templates can be made by going to Online Store > Themes > Edit Code > Templates > Add a New Template. If you aren’t familiar with code, you can hire a Shopify expert to code templates for you according to your needs.

Otherwise, a page building app is a terrific solution as well! Below I have compiled some great options:
