Hi @robinthebest

I see you’re using the Venue theme and want to showcase more products on your homepage. That’s a great way to increase browsing and potentially boost sales. Luckily, there are a couple of ways to achieve this with the Venue theme. Let’s dive in:

1-Editing the Number of Products in Featured Collections:

The Venue theme uses “Featured Collections” sections to display products on the homepage. These sections have a pre-set limit on how many products they show. Here’s how to adjust that limit:

  • Go to your Shopify admin.
  • Click on Online Store > Themes.
  • Find your Venue theme and click the “Customize” button: https://prnt.sc/9q9malyRGlaI
  • In the theme editor, navigate to the section on your homepage where you want to show more products (e.g., “Featured Products”). Click on it to open the section settings.
  • Look for a setting labeled something like “Max products to show” or “Number of products”. This might be located within a dropdown menu or a text box depending on your theme version.
  • Increase the number to display two rows of products. A good starting point could be 8 products (4 per row). You can always adjust this later to find the optimal layout for your store.
  • Save your changes and preview your homepage to see the update.

2-Adding More “Featured Collections” Sections:

If you want even more product variety on your homepage, you can add additional “Featured Collections” sections. Here’s how:

  • Follow steps 1 and 2 from above to access the theme editor.
  • In the left-hand menu, click “Add section”.
  • Choose the “Featured collection” option and drag it to the desired location on your homepage.
  • Select a product collection you want to showcase in this new section.
  • Customize the section title (optional).
  • Optionally, adjust the “Max products to show” setting like we did in step 1.
  • Save your changes and preview your homepage to see the updated layout.

Bonus Tip: Consider using a mix of both methods. You can have a main “Featured Products” section with a higher product count and then add additional sections with specific product categories or curated collections. This can help you highlight different aspects of your store’s offerings.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

  • Mobile Responsiveness: Make sure your homepage layout looks good and functions well on mobile devices. Too many products can overwhelm smaller screens. Test how your changes look on your phone before publishing.
  • Visual Hierarchy: With more products, consider using visual cues to guide visitors’ eyes. This could involve using larger product images for featured items or separating sections with clear dividers.

For your specific store (Lyndhurstwine.com): Looking at your store, I think showcasing two rows of products in your main “Featured Products” section would be a good starting point. You could then add a separate “Featured Wines” section to highlight specific categories or collections.

If you need any further assistance or have any questions about customizing your homepage layout, feel free to ask!
