Featured brands

How to mark brands as featured in Easy Brand Page, where the featured row appears, and how to style it independently from the main directory.

Updated July 24, 2026

The Featured row sits at the top (or wherever you position it) of your brand directory and highlights the vendors you care most about - the heroes of your catalogue. It's a separate visual treatment from the main A-Z list.

  1. Open Brands in the app.
  2. Find the brand you want to feature.
  3. Click the star icon next to it.

The star turns solid and the change publishes to your storefront right away - no re-scan needed.

Unfavouriting works the same way - click the solid star to turn it off.

Favourites do double duty: the Brand slider block can show your featured brands too - pick the Featured brands source in its settings.

Position is controlled in the theme block, not the admin. Open the Brand Page block in the theme editor and look for Featured brands, then Position. Three choices:

  • Before heading and search - very top of the page. Use this when the featured row is the most important content on the page.
  • Below heading - between your heading and the A-Z list. Use this for a more balanced layout.
  • Below all brands - at the bottom of the directory. Use this for a "recap" treatment.

You can also wrap the row in a bordered container (the Show container setting) to visually separate it from the main directory.

The Featured row has settings independent of the main directory:

  • Layout preset - restyles the featured cards in one click, independent of the main grid's preset: Custom (the default - your own settings below), Classic cards, Image cards, Minimal text, Logo wall, or Compact chips. Like the main preset, a non-Custom choice overrides the image settings below it.
  • Show featured brand images - show an image on each featured card: the brand's uploaded logo first, otherwise the mapped collection's image. Useful for image-first layouts.
  • Image only (hide brand name) - logos only, no text labels. Combined with collection images, this gives you a clean logo wall above the directory.
  • Section heading - the text above the Featured row (default "Featured Brands"). Leave it empty to remove the heading completely. Editable per locale through Shopify's standard theme translation flow.
  • Section heading font size - sized independently of the main heading.
  • Columns desktop / mobile - column count for the Featured row, independent of the main grid.

These settings appear in the theme editor once Show featured brands section is on.

Typical setups

Logo wall above A-Z

  • Position: Before heading and search.
  • Container: Off.
  • Show featured brand images: On.
  • Image only: On.
  • Columns: 6 desktop, 3 mobile.

Result: a clean strip of brand logos across the top, then the heading + search + A-Z list below.

Highlight cards before the directory

  • Position: Below heading.
  • Container: On.
  • Show featured brand images: Off.
  • Image only: Off.
  • Columns: 4 desktop, 2 mobile.

Result: a bordered "Featured Brands" section between the page heading and the full directory, with text-based brand cards.

Bottom recap

  • Position: Below all brands.
  • Container: On.
  • Show featured brand images: On.
  • Image only: Off.

Result: a "Our favourite brands" callout below the full directory.

With "Show featured brand images" on, each featured card shows the brand's uploaded brand logo first, otherwise the mapped collection's image. A brand with neither falls back to a text-only card. There's no broken-image state - it gracefully degrades.

See brand-to-collection mapping for how vendors map to collections.

Frequently asked questions

How many brands can I feature?

No hard limit. The Featured row shows every brand you star, in the order you starred them. Most stores feature five to fifteen brands - enough to highlight the heroes without burying the rest of the directory.

Can I feature a brand that doesn't appear in the main A-Z list?

No. Featured brands are a curated view of the same dataset. If a brand is hidden (excluded or out of stock), the Featured row also hides it. Featured is "highlight from", not "in addition to".

Can I reorder the featured row?

Yes. Star order in the Brands page is the order they render. Unfavourite and re-favourite a brand to push it to the end of the row.

Can I remove the Featured Brands title?

Yes. Clear the Section heading field in the theme block (delete the "Featured Brands" text) and the heading disappears completely - no empty space is left behind.
