How can I dynamically insert a product collection into my blog?

Store Design
1

Hi All,

Looking for some insight into three blog related questions:

  1. Is there a way to insert a product collection into the blog which will change dynamically as the collection is updated?

  2. Is there an ‘add to cart button’, which keeps the user on the blog page, rather than being sent directly to a checkout, so they can continue reading / shopping? (Shopify says it does not recommend adding the add-to-cart button)

  3. an app which changes the format and layout of the blog main page - rather than just the articles. The apps I have explored till now don’t seem to do this without spending a lot per month.

Thanks, Mike

Hi Clare,

For your question 1 and 2, there doesn’t seem to have a way currently to achieve them without apps or heavy code customization. I would suggest using an app like Pro Blogger as you will get the necessary support and update for compatibility.

Question 3 on blog layout and formatting, the best way to do this is to use a theme that already comes with a layout that you like. Some themes also lets you choose between different layout options - you might want to check if your current theme support this by going to Online Store > Themes > Customize > Blog

Another way is to use a page builder app - personally I have tried Pagefly which comes with a free plan that you can use (up to 3 custom page if I am not wrong). Hope this is helpful for you.

ps if you are looking for more advanced blog posts function, feel free to also check out my app Blog Posts Articles Filter PRO - which lets your customers filter and look for the blog posts they want easily.

Hey there, for this all kind stuff I would like to recommend you to use a good shopify landing page builder such as Layoutbase https://apps.shopify.com/layoutbase-pagebuilder

which allows you to do these kind of customizations and add different sections and blocks on all the pages that you will create with this landing page builder app. Thanks

Hey @jtsuidawg ,

Absolutely, I’d be happy to help. I’ve implemented a similar solution using custom code. If you can let me know which theme you’re using, I can guide you through the exact steps or share a tailored snippet.

Please feel free to reach out to me via email - you’ll find my email on my portfolio here:

Hi @Clare_Meaney,

  1. Dynamic Collection in Blog - Yes, you can show a collection that updates automatically. Use metafields + a custom Liquid block.
  2. Add to Cart on Blog Page - Yes, use an AJAX add-to-cart button to keep users on the page. Shopify allows it; it just needs a small JS snippet.
  3. Custom Blog Layout - Most apps don’t modify the blog index. You can customize the layout via theme code
