# Set up Facet collection pages with filters and promo tiles

> Configure Facet's collection page: product grid columns, filters in a sidebar or drawer, sorting, view toggles, pagination and promotional tiles in the grid.

The collection page lists the products in one collection. In Facet it is built from the **Collection** section, which shows a toolbar with filters, sorting and view toggles above a grid of product cards. This page covers the section settings, the promotional tile you can place in the grid, and the other sections the default collection template uses.

![The Collection section as it appears on the Facet demo storefront.](https://mintcdn.com/lightsout/JLHyBPHbW516g-34/images/themes/facet/collections/collection-page/collection-page-overview.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JLHyBPHbW516g-34\&q=85\&s=0ab5f1eb641fb8e92a0ee65fe2081362)

## What this section controls

* The collection title, description and product count.
* How many products show per page, and how many columns on large screens.
* Filters in a sidebar or a drawer, and the sort menu.
* The toggle between a larger and a smaller grid.
* Promotional tiles placed among the products.

## Getting started

**1. Open the Theme Customizer**

In your Shopify admin, open **Online Store**, then **Themes**, and click **Customize** next to Facet.

**2. Open the collection template**

In the template picker at the top of the Theme Customizer, choose **Collections**, then **Default collection**.

**3. Set up the grid**

Click **Collection** in the **Sections** panel to choose the columns, products per page and filter layout.

**4. Add a promotional tile**

Under **Collection**, click **Add block**, then **Promotional tile**, and pick the row and column it sits in.

## Section settings

### Header and grid

![Theme editor sidebar showing the Collection section settings: Show page title, Show description, Show product count, Products per page, Desktop columns, Enable filtering, and more.](https://mintcdn.com/lightsout/JLHyBPHbW516g-34/images/themes/facet/collections/collection-page/collection-page-settings-1.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JLHyBPHbW516g-34\&q=85\&s=146e9936d08a629fa8cf42a07f2712bd)

* **Show page title**: on by default. Shows the collection title above the toolbar.
* **Show description**: on by default. Shows the collection description under the title, when the collection has one.
* **Show product count**: on by default. Shows the number of products in the toolbar.
* **Products per page**: from 8 to 36. Default: 24. When a collection has more products, page numbers appear under the grid.
* **Desktop columns**: **2 columns**, **3 columns** (default) or **4 columns**. Phones always show 2 columns.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The default collection template opens with a [Page banner](https://docs.shopify.lightsout.agency/themes/facet/sections/page-banner.md) that already shows the collection title, description and image, so **Show page title** and **Show description** are turned off there. Turn them on if you remove the banner.

### Filters and sorting

> [accordion] Enable filtering
>
> On by default. Shows the filters for the collection, such as availability, price, size or color. A **Filters** button in the toolbar shows how many filters are active, and chips under the toolbar let shoppers remove each one or **Clear all**.
>
> Facet shows availability as one **In stock only** switch and price as a slider with from and to fields. Color filters show as swatches when you choose swatches for them in Search & Discovery, or when their name is one of your color option names in [Variants](https://docs.shopify.lightsout.agency/themes/facet/theme-settings/variants.md).

> [accordion] Filter layout
>
> * **Sidebar** (default): filters sit in a column beside the grid on large screens. Shoppers can fold the column away with the **Filters** button, and choices apply as soon as they are made.
> * **Drawer**: filters open in a panel from the side. Choices apply when shoppers click **Apply**.
>
> On tablets and phones, both layouts open the filters in a drawer. Appears only when **Enable filtering** is on.

> [accordion] Enable sorting
>
> On by default. Shows a **Sort by** menu with Shopify's sort options, such as best selling, price and date.

> [accordion] Show view toggles
>
> On by default. Shows two buttons that switch between larger and smaller product cards. The smaller view adds one column, up to 5. The shopper's choice is remembered in their browser.

> [accordion] Show borders on filter and sort
>
> On by default. Draws borders around the **Filters** button, the sort menu, the view toggles and the active filter chips. Their corners follow the inputs setting in [Corner radius](https://docs.shopify.lightsout.agency/themes/facet/theme-settings/corner-radius.md).

> [!NOTE]
>
> The filters themselves come from Shopify's free **Search & Discovery** app. Install it, then open the app's **Filters** page to choose which filters show and in which order. If no filters are set up, the **Filters** button is hidden.

### Common settings

![Theme editor sidebar showing the Collection section settings (part 2, scrolled): Show view toggles, Show borders on filter and sort, Common settings, Color scheme, Top padding, Bottom padding, and more.](https://mintcdn.com/lightsout/JLHyBPHbW516g-34/images/themes/facet/collections/collection-page/collection-page-settings-2.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JLHyBPHbW516g-34\&q=85\&s=3ee62882f62320c2ee2be9f0629ae55d)

* **Color scheme**: the colors of the section.
* **Top padding**: None (default), Small, Medium, Large or Extra large.
* **Bottom padding**: None, Small, Medium, Large (default) or Extra large.
* **Page width**: Narrow, Narrower, Fluid (default) or Full.

See [Common settings](https://docs.shopify.lightsout.agency/themes/facet/common-settings.md) for what each option does.

## Blocks

### Promotional tile

A tile that takes the place of one product card in the grid, with a picture, a heading, text and a button. The products flow around it. You can add several tiles. Tiles show on the first page of the collection only.

> [tab] Content
>
> * **Image**: a picture that fills the tile, behind the text. Without one, the tile shows its color scheme.
> * **Heading**: default "Thoughtful luxury".
> * **Text**: default "Elevated wardrobe staples, made responsibly."
> * **Button label**: default "Shop now". Leave it blank to hide the button.
> * **Link**: where the button goes.

> [tab] Position
>
> * **Column**: from 1 to 6. Default: 1. A column number higher than the grid has places the tile in the last column. On phones, the grid has 2 columns.
> * **Row**: from 1 to 24. Default: 3.

> [tab] Colors
>
> * **Color scheme**: the colors of the tile, its text and its button.

## Other sections on the collection template

The default collection template comes with these sections, in this order. Each one can be edited, hidden, removed or reordered.

* [Page banner](https://docs.shopify.lightsout.agency/themes/facet/sections/page-banner.md): the collection title, description and image, above the grid.
* **Collection**: the section on this page.
* [FAQ](https://docs.shopify.lightsout.agency/themes/facet/sections/faq.md): common questions and answers.
* [Promotion banner](https://docs.shopify.lightsout.agency/themes/facet/sections/promotion-banner.md): a promotion with a countdown and a button.
* [Testimonials](https://docs.shopify.lightsout.agency/themes/facet/sections/testimonials.md): customer quotes.

## Best practices

* **Set up filters in Search & Discovery first.** Without filters in the app, shoppers only get sorting.
* **Pick a calm tile picture.** The tile text sits directly on the picture, so a picture with a plain area keeps it readable.
* **Keep tiles below the first row.** Placing a promotional tile on row 3 or later lets shoppers see products first.
* **Match columns to your photos.** Tall product photos read well at 3 columns. Use 4 columns for small items or large catalogs.
