Add a Featured collection section to your home page
The theme editor loads your store's home page by default. Horizon's default home page template already has a Featured collection section with Product count set to 8: if yours still has it, click it in the sidebar and go straight to step 4.
- From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store and click Edit theme next to your theme.
- In the sidebar, click Add section under Template.
- Type Featured collection into Search sections and pick a layout: in Horizon it comes as Grid, Carousel or Editorial.
- In the section's settings, choose the Collection and set Product count — from 1 to 16 in Horizon.
- Click Save.
- Online Store
- Edit theme
- Add section
The section and setting names in these steps come from Shopify's Horizon theme code, read November 10, 2026. Dawn's featured collection section code allows 2 to 25 products, so the product-count limit differs by theme.

Choose which products the section shows
- A set of products — put them in one collection and pick it in the Collection field.
- One product — Horizon's Product highlight section features a single product.
Why a product is missing from the section
If the section shows but a product you expect isn't in it, check three things.
- Is it in that collection? The section shows only the chosen collection's products.
- Is it Active? A duplicated or unarchived product starts as Draft; new products start Active. Archived products stay in collections but are hidden from your online store. Customers can buy a product in a sales channel only when it's Active or Unlisted and published there, but an Unlisted product can't be discovered by customers, so use Active.
- Is it published to Online Store? A product excluded from a sales channel is hidden from it, and changing a collection's availability doesn't change the availability of its products.
