Product rail

Pull a collection into a single horizontal row of product plates. Up to four products it is a tidy grid; past four it becomes a side-scrolling rail with the side note turning into a link to the full collection.

It is the workhorse product section: “the rest of the drop” under the mosaic, a capsule on a page, last season’s carryover at the bottom of the homepage.

Settings

Setting	Type	Default	What it does
Fallback collection	Collection	—	Which collection to pull from. With nothing set, six placeholder cards render so the layout is visible in the editor.
Heading	Text	The rest of the drop	Section heading. Falls back to the collection’s own title if you clear it.
Side note	Text	Scroll →	Side note on the right. See below — it only appears when the row actually scrolls.
Max products	Range, 4–16, step 1	8	How many products to pull.
Colour scheme	Select — Default / Light / Deep	default	Which ground the section sits on.
Top spacing	Range, 0–160 px	48	Top spacing.
Bottom spacing	Range, 0–160 px	48	Bottom spacing.

No blocks. One preset, Product rail.

Grid or rail — the section decides

The section counts how many products it is actually going to show (the collection’s size, capped at limit) and picks a layout:

Products shown	Layout	Side note
1–4	A fixed grid, one column per product	Hidden, even if you typed one
5 or more	A horizontally scrolling rail	Shown, and linked to the collection

That is why the default side note reads “Scroll →” — it only ever appears when there is something to scroll. And because it links to the collection automatically, you do not set a URL.

On the grid, columns step down to three below 1100 px and two below 760 px. The rail scrolls at every width.

What a card shows

The cards are the theme’s product plate, the same one the Product mosaic uses, at a 1 : 1.18 portrait ratio:

• Featured image, cropped to fill.
• An automatic Sold out or On sale corner flag where it applies.
• On hover, Add + for single-variant products or Choose + for anything with options.
• A Peek quick-view button when the theme’s Quick view setting is on.
• A caption reading Product name – price, with the compare-at price struck through.

Tip

Set limit to either four or eight, not six. Four gives you a clean grid with no scroll affordance to explain; eight gives a rail with an obvious second screen of product. Five or six leaves a rail that scrolls by barely one card, which looks like a bug.

Note

For “customers also bought” and “complete the look”, use the Recommendations section instead — it draws on Shopify’s own recommendation data rather than a fixed collection.
