Hey there! Let's sort out how to correctly display a specific collection by its title (or handle) in your collection-template.liquid section—since the old methods you found online are outdated with current Shopify Liquid behavior, or maybe you just had a syntax misstep.

Why Your Previous Attempt Didn't Work #

The collection variable in your section refers to the current collection loaded by the parent collection.liquid template (e.g., the collection a visitor clicked on to reach the page). Trying to access collection['Collection Title'] is invalid syntax here—you need to use Shopify's global collections object to fetch a specific collection by its identifier.

Method 1: Hardcode a Specific Collection (By Title or Handle) #

This works if you want the section to always display one fixed collection, no matter what page it's loaded on.

• First, assign your target collection using the collections object. Use the collection's handle for reliability (handles don't change if you edit the collection's title later):

  {% assign target_collection = collections['your-collection-handle'] %}
  

  If you must use the title, match it exactly (including spaces and capitalization):

  {% assign target_collection = collections['Summer Sale Collection'] %}
  

• Then loop through the collection's products, with a fallback in case the collection doesn't exist:

  {% if target_collection %}
    <h2>{{ target_collection.title }}</h2>
    {% for product in target_collection.products %}
      <!-- Your existing product display markup goes here -->
      <div class="product-item">
        <a href="{{ product.url }}">{{ product.title }}</a>
        <!-- Add price, image, etc. -->
      </div>
    {% endfor %}
  {% else %}
    <p>Oops, that collection doesn't exist!</p>
  {% endif %}
  

Method 2: Make the Section Configurable (Recommended) #

For a more flexible solution (so you can pick the collection via the Shopify Theme Editor instead of hardcoding), add a collection picker to your section's schema:

• At the bottom of collection-template.liquid, add this schema block:

  {% schema %}
  {
    "name": "Specific Collection Display",
    "settings": [
      {
        "type": "collection",
        "id": "target_collection",
        "label": "Choose which collection to display"
      }
    ]
  }
  {% endschema %}
  

• In the main part of your section, fetch the selected collection using the section setting:

  {% assign target_collection = section.settings.target_collection %}
  {% if target_collection %}
    <h2>{{ target_collection.title }}</h2>
    {% for product in target_collection.products %}
      <!-- Your product markup -->
    {% endfor %}
  {% endif %}
  

Now you can go to your Shopify admin > Online Store > Themes > Customize, navigate to the collection page, and select any collection for this section via the editor.

Key Notes #

• Always prefer handles over titles: Collection titles can be edited, but handles stay consistent—this prevents broken references if you rename a collection later.
• Check for collection existence: Wrapping your loop in an {% if target_collection %} block avoids messy errors if the collection is deleted or misnamed.
• Context matters: If your collection-template.liquid is meant to display the current page's collection plus an additional specific collection, use Method 1 alongside your original {% for product in collection.products %} loop.
