Collection tabs setting

This guide describes the Collection tabs section.

The Collection tabs section allows store owners to display multiple featured collections in a single, organized layout using tabbed navigation. Each tab represents a different collection, and clicking a tab updates the product grid below to show products from that selected collection—without reloading the page. This creates a smooth and engaging browsing experience for customers.

Customers can click the “Add to Cart” button to instantly add items to the Cart Drawer, or use “Choose Options” for products with multiple variants.

Store owners can:

Select multiple collections to display as tabs
Set the number of products shown per collection
Customize the section layout for both desktop and mobile views

✨ New features:

Add icons to product cards for visual emphasis
Display customizable promo text on each product card
Show product information, such as delivery time, stock status, or custom labels
Display product stock levels to increase urgency or inform customers

This section is perfect for promoting multiple categories, such as new arrivals, bestsellers, seasonal collections, or themed bundles—all in one interactive space.

✨ New tabs view:

When a tab is clicked, it becomes visually highlighted with a different background, and an icon appears with a smooth animation. During the transition, the tab expands to accommodate the icon, creating an engaging and dynamic user experience.
