In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to add a collection slider section in Shopify and make your storefront more dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways to Add a Collection Slider List in a Shopify Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are basically three ways to add a collection slider,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Via Shopify Theme Editor &#8211; <\/strong>Some themes offer a built-in collection list slider, which lets you easily showcase collections without coding, but with very minimal functionality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create a Custom Code &#8211; <\/strong>If your theme lacks a slider or you need additional features, you can manually add a collection slider via custom code. It requires strong technical skills and significant time.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Using a Shopify Section App <\/strong>&#8211; The most often accessible method is to use a Shopify section app. It offers pre-built, customizable collection slider sections that work with many themes and can be added with just a few clicks.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Directly Add Shopify Collection Slider Section Without Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using our app, MIT Sections Pro, you will be able to create a section exactly like this. It offers a seamless and code-free way to enhance your store&#8217;s design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/app-preview-700x365.png\" alt=\"Preview of the collection slider section in Shopify using an app\" class=\"wp-image-22505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/app-preview-700x365.png 700w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/app-preview-250x130.png 250w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/app-preview-768x401.png 768w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/app-preview-403x210.png 403w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/app-preview-964x503.png 964w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/app-preview-120x63.png 120w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/app-preview.png 1263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike Shopify\u2019s in-built sections, MIT Sections Pro goes further.
