# Collection List

A grid of collection cards — your "shop by category" section. Each card shows the collection's image and title and links to it.

## Section settings

| Setting              | What it does                                         | Default                |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |

| Columns (desktop)    | 1–6                                                  | 3                      |
| Color scheme         | Section colors                                       | Scheme 1               |
| "View all" button    | Shows if you have more collections than blocks added | Off                    |
| Mobile columns       | 1 or 2                                               | 1                      |
| Carousel (mobile)    | Swipe row instead of stacking                        | Off                    |
| Padding top / bottom | 0–100px                                              | 36 / 36                |

## Blocks

Up to 15 **Collection** blocks — each just picks a collection. Card images come from the collection's image (set it under **Products → Collections → \[your collection]** in admin); if none is set, Shopify uses the first product's image.

💡 **Pro tip:** Give every collection a same-ratio custom image in admin (moody flat-lays or on-model crops) — a mismatched collection grid is the fastest way to look like a template store.

## The /collections page

The **Collections list page** section powers your `/collections` URL and shows *all* collections automatically. Settings: heading, **Sort collections** (Alphabetical A–Z / Z–A, Date new-old / old-new, Product count high-low / low-high), image ratio, desktop columns (1–6, default 3), mobile columns (default 2).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sitesbyseth.gitbook.io/sitesbyseth-docs/reign/sections/collection-list.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
