Sub Collections

AI-generated summary

A store owner wants to display sub-collections visually on their main “Ceremonial Gongs” collection page, rather than only listing them in the navigation menu. They currently have multiple collections nested under “Ceremonial Collections” but find this structure inelegant for social media.

Desired outcome:

  • Users click the main collection and see all sub-collections displayed visually on the page (with images/cards)
  • Similar to a grid layout showing different categories

Proposed solutions:

  • One respondent confirms this requires custom Liquid code modifications and developer assistance, as it’s not a native Shopify feature
  • Another suggests using the “FDL Breadcrumbs & Collections” app, which offers drag-and-drop tools to build nested collection structures and automatic breadcrumb navigation

Status: The discussion remains open with no implementation decision made yet. The original poster requested urgent assistance but hasn’t responded to the suggestions.

Help with Sub Collection display .

At present my menu system has collection (Ceremonial Gongs ) and then I have listed collections under the (Ceremonial Collections) which isn’t very elegant for social media.

What I would like it for users to click the (Ceremonial Gongs ) collection and the visibly see all the sub collections below - see example below. How do I do this or even better can someone take this on an sort it out asap please ?

Hello @gongdwana

Welcome to Shopify Community.

So basically you want to show the sub collections on the collection page. Right ?

If yes, these needs code altering using liquid code. So you will need a dev.

Let me know if I can be helpful in anyways.

Thanks

Hey there!
Shopify doesn’t directly support sub-collections, but you can simulate the effect by organizing standalone collections and creating a visual layout that links them.

If you prefer a simpler and more intuitive way, check out this app I’ve worked with:
:backhand_index_pointing_right: FDL Breadcrumbs & Collections

It has drag-and-drop tools to build nested structures, and it adds automatic breadcrumbs so your customers can navigate more easily.
Let me know if you’d like a hand setting it up!
