# Collection page

Renders every collection: breadcrumb, title, optional description, filter and sort toolbar, product grid, and pagination. Setup walkthrough: [Setting up your collection page](/sitesbyseth-docs/skeleton/getting-started/collection-page.md).

**Where to find it:** theme editor → page selector → **Collections → Default collection** → click **Collection page**.

## Settings

* **Products per page** (8–48, default 24) — pagination kicks in beyond this.
* **Columns on desktop** (2–6, default 4).
* **Columns on mobile** — **1** or **2** (default).
* **Show collection description** (on by default) — the description written on the collection in **Products → Collections**, shown under the title.
* **Enable filtering** (on by default) — filter dropdowns built from your store's filter setup (**Online Store → Navigation → Collection and search filters**, via the free Search & Discovery app). Checkbox filters apply instantly; the price filter has From/To fields with an Apply button. Active filters show as removable chips with a "clear all" link. Options with zero matching products are grayed out.
* **Enable sorting** (on by default) — a sort dropdown (featured, best selling, price, date…). Sorting preserves any active filters.

### Section style

* **Top padding** / **Bottom padding** (0–120 px, default 64), **Background color**, **Text color**.

## No blocks

Cards follow **Theme settings → Product cards**.

💡 **Pro tip:** these settings apply to *all* collections (they share one template), so pick a grid that flatters your worst-photographed product, not your best. If filters show nothing on your live store, the fix is nearly always in Search & Discovery — the theme can only display filters that exist.

## 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/skeleton/sections/main-collection.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.
