Making Image On Homepage Clickable (Attaching A Link To It)

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

Goal: make the main homepage image in the Shopify Dawn theme clickable to navigate to a collection page.

Context: the store is private and not yet launched, so a link for review cannot be shared. This limits direct troubleshooting.

Related issue: another participant wants the main homepage GIF image to trigger a Progressive Web App (PWA) install prompt when clicked, referencing the code snippet

Install Now
. PWA = Progressive Web App.

Current status: no implementation steps or solution have been provided. A request for the store link was made, but the site remains inaccessible.

Open questions / needs:

  • How to configure the Dawn theme so the hero/main image links to a collection (e.g., wrapping the image in a link or using a click handler).
  • Whether and how the PWA snippet can be integrated with the homepage image in Dawn without breaking theme behavior.

Outcome: unresolved and awaiting further guidance.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to make the main image on my homepage clickable so that I can attach a link to it and it will take customers to a collection page from the homepage.

I’m currently using the Dawn theme.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Can you provide a link to the store?

I am also faced with the (nearly) same challenge:

Trying to add a PWA Code > (

Install Now
) to my Main Homepage (GIF) Image, so that when it is clicked…

A message pops up, based upon that PWA App’s Code(Snippet).
