How do I get more than one collection in Horizon with Bento Collection?

Topic summary

A user is struggling to display four distinct collections in the Horizon theme’s Bento Collection section. Currently, selecting any collection shows all four collections instead of individual ones.

Solution Provided:

  • Collections should be selected in the section settings, not the block settings
  • The Bento Collection uses a special “looper” block that iterates over items defined at the section level
  • Manually added “Collection card” blocks don’t integrate into the loop and stack incorrectly

Technical Note:
This appears to be a potential code error in Horizon version 1.0.0, where manually added collection cards bypass the looping mechanism.

The user also inquired about potential costs for assistance, though no pricing was discussed. Visual screenshots were shared to illustrate the correct configuration approach.

Love the theme look of Horizon. In the Bento collection it has 4 collections that appear, but when you select the collection, it goes to all 4. I tried Shopify help 3 times and they didn’t know how to pick 4 different collections. The same thing happens in Savor. I’d love to use this theme, the look is fresh and perfectly modern.

How much would it cost?

Please share the url and also point out the section? Would be better to understand it on a visual note.

Select them in the section settings, not in the block settings:

This is a special kind of “looper” block which will loop over items selected in section settings. Compare the icons:

Unfortunately, if you add “Collection card” blocks manually, they do not seem to be added into the loop and rather work as before – stack on top of each other. Probably a code error – not unexpected for version 1.0.0…
