Featured collections settings

This guide describes the Featured Collections section.

The Featured Collections section allows you to highlight a selected products list on your homepage. You can showcase products in a carousel or grid layout, with or without a promotional banner. This section is often used to draw attention to seasonal sales, special promotions, or curated product groups.

You can customize:

  • Promotion banner – add an image, or video, message to highlight discounts or campaigns.
  • Product sets – organize products by discount ranges (e.g., Sale up to 30%, Sale up to 40%).
  • Layout options – select how many products display per slide.

This section helps engage customers by making promotions more visible and encouraging quick browsing.
