Collection description section
The Collection description section of Borders shows the collection description as its own section, for long texts below the grid.
Applies to: Borders 3.1.0 and later. Added in: Borders 1.0.0. Last checked: 2026-10-13 against Borders 3.1.0.
The Collection description section shows the collection's description, as written in Shopify admin, as a section of its own. Use it for long descriptions, or to put the text below the products instead of in the banner at the top.
Where to find it: Online Store → Themes → Customize → Collections → Default collection → Add section → Collection description. It can only be added to collection templates, once.

- Text font (Body or Headings), Text size (Small to Extra large) and Line height style the description.
