Section: Featured Collection

Everything you'll need to know on how to setup your Featured Collection section.

Written by Cartiafy Team Updated April 2026

The Featured Collection section displays products from one or more collections in either a Grid or a Carousel layout. Add multiple Collection blocks to create tabs (e.g. Bestsellers, New Arrivals, Sale) — visitors switch between them with one click. Configure product cards, badges, view-all CTAs, and per-tab buttons.

Adding the section

To activate this section you first have to add the section to your page. This can be done in a few small steps.

1) Click on Add section which can be found in your left sidebar.

2) Scroll down, or search for Featured Collection, then click on it.

3) Done — your Featured Collection section is added with one Collection block by default. Add more Collection blocks to enable tabs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I show tabs in the section?

Add at least 2 Collection blocks to the section. Once you have 2 or more, tabs appear automatically above the products. Each tab uses the Collection's title — override with the Tab label field per block. Visitors switch between tabs with one click.

What's the difference between Grid and Carousel?

Grid shows products in a static multi-row layout — best when you want all products visible at once. Carousel shows products in a horizontally scrolling row with arrows and autoplay — best when you want a tighter section that highlights products in sequence.

How does Quick Add work?

Quick Add is a smart button: for products with no variants (single-option), clicking adds it directly to the cart. For products with variants (color, size), clicking opens an option selector first. View Product disables Quick Add and always links to the product page instead.

Why don't I see badges on my products?

Discount badges only appear when a product has a compare-at price higher than its regular price. Set this in Products → product → Pricing. Tag badges require specific tags on products (e.g. NEW, HOT) which the theme reads.

Can I have a different button per collection?

Yes — each Collection block has its own Button text and Button link fields. Use them to customize the CTA per tab (e.g. Shop sale for the sale tab, Discover for the new arrivals tab).
