Technical Q&A

Wonder if anyone could help me.

I’ve tried to create a portfolio/gallery page using a template and add section snippets to it, but with no luck

Could someone help with creating a page?

A gallery or portfolio page should be a standard theme page template in Shopify. SquareSpace has them. Big disappointment.

Hello! One way is to use a template that already has a specific page for a ‘gallery’. If the template you’re using doesn’t have one, or you don’t like it, another approach I’ve sometimes used in certain projects is to use a ‘collection’. The “products” in that collection will be the gallery images with their respective details (you can have filtering options for that gallery if you like). Remove prices and any other details you don’t want from the collection template you’re using so that it really looks like an image gallery or portfolio.

Have a great day!!

Hi @MitchH :waving_hand:

There are a few easy ways to build a portfolio/gallery page in Shopify:

1. Custom Liquid section (free, no app) Create a new page template and add a section with a gallery grid. You can use the Custom Liquid block in the theme editor and drop in image markup:

liquid

<div class="gallery-grid">
  {% for block in section.blocks %}
    <img src="{{ block.settings.image | image_url: width: 800 }}" alt="{{ block.settings.alt }}">
  {% endfor %}
</div>

<style>
.gallery-grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
  gap: 12px;
}
.gallery-grid img { width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 8px; }
</style>

2. Use a “collection” as a gallery (great suggestion from @DAVID10X) Make a collection where each “product” is a gallery image, then hide the price and buy button in the collection template. You even get filtering for free.

3. Gallery apps (easiest, no code) Apps like POWR Photo Gallery, Common Ninja, or Easy Gallery let you build a portfolio with drag-and-drop — perfect if you’d rather skip the Liquid editing.

Since you’re a photographer, I’d lean toward option 1 or 3 for a clean image-first layout. Want me to walk you through creating the custom page template step by step?
