Shopify Collection page troubleshooting - urgent

Topic summary

A user working with Shopify’s Dawn theme is trying to customize the /collections/all page, which differs from their manually created /collections/all-collection page.

Key clarifications provided:

  • /collections/all is not a real collection but a built-in Shopify default that automatically displays all products
  • This default collection cannot be directly customized through the standard collection interface

Two solutions offered:

  1. Replace the default: Create or rename an existing collection with the URL handle “all” (can be done by editing the “all-collection” collection’s URL handle under “Search engine listing” in admin). This replaces the built-in page with a customizable collection.

  2. Customize the template: Modify the Default collection template through the theme customizer (Online Store > Themes > Customize > Collections > Default collection), which will affect how /collections/all displays.

The discussion remains open with no confirmation of which approach the user will implement.

I’m using the Dawn theme and have two collections: ‘collections/all-collection’ (manually created in the collection section) and ‘collections/all’ (not visible in the collection section). I want to customize the ‘collections/all’ page. Can you please guide me on how to do it? Here’s the reference link:

collections/all - https://offnorth.com/collections/all

Thanks in advance

/collections/all is not a real collection, it’s kind “implied” or “default” one.

if you create a collection with handle “all” it will replace this one and you will be able to configure it the way you want.

You may do it with your all-collection collection – under “Search engine listing” in admin, URL handle field.

Hi @Sivadarshan

/collections/all is Shopify built-in link. If you want to customize layout of this page, you can create another template and assign it for other collections then customize Default collection template from your store admin > Sales channels > Online store > Themes > Customize > Collections > Default collection
