How to Add Collection Page Navigation in Shopify Motion Theme

Layout

Collection page navigation shows shoppers a list of related or sibling collections while they browse — a native Motion feature that fills a real gap in Shopify's free themes.

Steps

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes and click Customize on Motion.
  2. Switch to a Collection template using the page picker.
  3. Select the collection navigation section or block (may be part of the sidebar filter area).
  4. Choose which collections to list — Motion may pull this from your navigation menu structure or let you pick manually, depending on the setting.
  5. Click Save.

This is one of the genuine advantages of a paid theme like Motion over Shopify's free themes — a free theme has no equivalent, so a store on one of them needs a manually built Collection list section instead, which only works as a static homepage block, not live navigation on every collection page.
