Placing your best box in the first row of your collection page is a powerful way to capture customer interest immediately. By manually arranging your items, you can showcase top sellers, seasonal promotions, or your most visually appealing box right at the top.
For example, when a customer visits your “Gift for Her” collection page, they should see your “Build Her Perfect Gift Box” right in the first row.
✨ How this helps you get that first sale
Customers often browse collection pages first. If your key box is buried on page 2 or hidden at the bottom, chances are they’ll miss it completely. But when it’s in the first row, it grabs their attention immediately — increasing the likelihood that they’ll click, open the box builder, and make that first purchase.
Step-by-Step Setup #
Step 1: Open Your Collection #
Log in to your Shopify admin and go to Products > Collections. Click on the name of the collection you want to organize.
Step 2: Change the Sort Order #
Scroll down to the Products section within the collection page. Look for the Sort dropdown menu and select Manually. This gives you full control over where each product appears.
Step 3: Reorder for Maximum Impact #
Now that manual sorting is active, you can simply click and drag the product images. Move your most eye-catching box to the very first position in the list. The products at the top of this list will show up in the first row on your storefront.
Step 4: Save and Review #
Verify that your changes are saved. Visit your live store and refresh the collection page to see your new, high-impact layout in action.
That covers the three key places to position your box: your navigation pane, your homepage, and your collection page.
Now, let’s move on to the next step: making your product page work harder for you. Instead of a plain “Add to cart” button, you’ll learn how to change it to “Start building your box” — so customers know exactly what to do next.
