Key SAISON features
Feature index
Use this page when you need to find the important SAISON features quickly: editorial collection grids, product page views, homepage sections, custom editorial templates, campaign pages, and commerce settings.
SAISON includes standard Shopify theme tools, but its value is in the custom page and section system. Start here when you want to understand what the theme can do before building a page.

Merchant wants to
Make a collection page feel curated, not like a plain catalog
- Use SAISON feature
- Collection grid combinations
- Where to look
- Collection template > Image text grid
- Change this first
- Product grid source, product placement, tile spans, and repeat rules.
- Helps avoid
- Confusion about 2x2 hero products, promo tiles, look tiles, and mobile fallback.
Merchant wants to
Choose the right product page layout before adding content
- Use SAISON feature
- Product page views
- Where to look
- Product template > Product information
- Change this first
- layout_style, media_layout, runway rail, thumbnails, and sticky add to cart.
- Helps avoid
- Merchants mixing Runway, 50/50, 60/40, and vertical-scroll settings without knowing which view they are building.
Merchant wants to
Build a homepage around SAISON's strongest visual sections
- Use SAISON feature
- Homepage signature sections
- Where to look
- Home page template > Add section
- Change this first
- Hero, signature scroll section, product feature, social proof, then final shop action.
- Helps avoid
- Homepages with too many motion sections, repeated heroes, or no clear shopping path.
Merchant wants to
Create an about, founder, lookbook, or editorial story page
- Use SAISON feature
- About and editorial pages
- Where to look
- Pages template > Add editorial sections
- Change this first
- About hero, statement text, image rail, image pair, timeline, and linked feature split.
- Helps avoid
- Using generic rich text when the page needs original SAISON story sections.
Merchant wants to
Launch a seasonal, sale, or campaign landing page
- Use SAISON feature
- Summer campaign page
- Where to look
- Pages > campaign template
- Change this first
- Mosaic grid, reveal video, skewed split, sticky scroll, filmstrip, and distorted reveal.
- Helps avoid
- Campaign pages that look like normal collection pages or use too many competing visual effects.
Merchant wants to
Make product cards consistent across collections and product sections
- Use SAISON feature
- Product card system
- Where to look
- Theme settings > Product cards, then section-level card overrides
- Change this first
- Image ratio, hover gallery, badges, swatches, quick add, and sale price display.
- Helps avoid
- Different product card crops, missing swatches, or quick add behaving differently across pages.
If You Are Building A Page
- Start with the page guide that matches the page: homepage, product, collection, editorial, or campaign.
- Use the settings table to configure the main section before adding supporting sections.
- Add screenshots or diagrams to confirm the layout before publishing.
- Check mobile behavior after changing image ratios, tile spans, sticky sections, or runway layouts.
- Use troubleshooting pages when a symptom appears in Shopify preview or on the live store.
