Remove section from page 2 of a collection template

Topic summary

Main issue: In a custom Shopify collection template with multiple sections, a “collection list” section should appear only on the first page and be hidden on page 2 and onward.

Context: The request focuses on conditional display tied to pagination (show on page 1, hide on subsequent pages).

Recent activity: A Shopify Partner (BSS Commerce) offered professional help via a Shopify Experts link, stating they can provide an optimal solution. No technical steps or code were shared in the thread.

Outcomes/decisions: None reported. No community-sourced implementation details yet.

Key terms: “Collection template” = layout for collection pages; “Section” = modular content block within the template; “Pagination” = splitting collection items across multiple pages (e.g., page 2, 3, …).

Status: Open/ongoing. The core need remains unresolved: a way to conditionally render or hide the section based on whether the user is on the first paginated page.

We created a custom template that has several sections. One of the sections is a collection list and we want that section to appear only on the first page. we would like it to disappear once the user has navigated to page 2 and so on. Any ideas are welcome.

Thank you
