Main Collection List

The Main Collection List section powers your store’s primary collection directory (the /collections catalog index).

This page serves as a master visual roadmap for footwear shoppers—allowing customers to browse through your complete range of shoe silhouettes, sport categories (Running, Basketball, Skate, Training), limited drop archives, and sneaker care accessories.

Sneax equips this directory with responsive column grids, live product count badges, and the ability to inject Promotional Campaign Banners directly into the collection grid.

In-Grid Promotional Banners (promotion_banner Block) #

Just like the product grid, Sneax allows you to break up the collection directory by injecting promotional visual banners:

1. Under the Main collection list section in the Theme Editor, click Add Promotion banner.
2. Configure the block settings:
   • Color scheme: Select an accent color scheme for the banner card.
   • Background image: Upload a high-impact footwear campaign photo or drop teaser.
   • Title: Banner headline (default: “GRAB IT BEFORE ENDS!”).
   • Insert position (1 to 24): Controls exactly where the promo card appears (e.g., setting to 3 injects it right after the 3rd collection card on page 1).
   • Column span (1 to 6): Controls how many grid columns wide the banner stretches on desktop screens (automatically expands to full width on mobile).

Pro Tips for Sneax Footwear Stores #

• Curate Flagship Collection Imagery: Make sure every collection in your Shopify Admin (Products > Collections) has a clean, high-resolution featured image. Sneax pulls this photo as the collection cover tile.
• Highlight Drops with In-Grid Banners: Place a 2-column Promotion banner at position 3 linking to your upcoming sneaker drop calendar or VIP membership signup. It immediately captures shoppers exploring your general categories.
