Adding and configuring the theme block
How to add the Brand Page block to your Shopify theme and what every setting in the theme editor does.
Updated May 20, 2026
The Brand Page theme block is the storefront half of Easy Brand Page. Once it's in place, the admin's job is just to keep the underlying data fresh.
Adding the block
- In Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
- Click Customize on your active theme.
- In the theme editor, navigate to the page where you want the directory (Pages section, homepage, etc.).
- Click Add section (or Add block if you're inside an existing section).
- Find "Brand page" in the picker - it's grouped under "Apps".
- Click to add. The block appears in the theme preview.
- Click Save.
The directory is now live on the storefront once you've run the first vendor scan in the admin.
Block settings, by group
The Brand Page block has dozens of settings, grouped in the theme editor sidebar.
Featured brands
Controls the optional row at the top of the directory that highlights your favourite vendors.
- Show featured brands section - on/off toggle.
- Show container - wraps the featured row in a bordered box.
- Section heading - text above the row (default "Featured Brands").
- Position - where the row appears in the page flow: before heading and search, below heading, or below the main A-Z list.
- Show featured collection images - if a brand is mapped to a collection that has an image, use that image as the card background.
- Image only (hide brand name) - logos only, no text labels.
- Section heading font size - 12 to 60 px.
- Columns desktop / mobile - 2 to 6 columns per breakpoint.
To mark vendors as featured, go to the Easy Brand Page admin Brands page and click the star icon next to the vendors you want.

The look of the main directory.
- Show search bar - on/off.

- Placeholder text - what shows inside the search box when empty.

How block settings interact with admin settings
The theme block controls how it looks. The admin controls what data it shows. Specifically:
- Card visuals, spacing, columns - theme block.
- Whether a brand appears at all - admin (exclude toggle, out-of-stock filter).
- Whether a brand is marked as featured - admin (star icon).
- Which collection a brand links to - admin (settings, plus auto-mapping).
- What language the headings use - theme block (you set the text).
- What language the brand names use - your products' Vendor field, in whatever language you stored it.
Multiple language storefronts
Easy Brand Page is locale-agnostic. Heading text, search placeholder, and the "Brands" title live in the theme block and you edit them per locale through Shopify's standard theme translation flow. Brand names come from the vendor field on your products and render in whatever language you saved them as.
Removing or hiding the block
To temporarily hide the directory from a page without uninstalling the app:
- Open the theme editor.
- Click the Brand Page block.
- Toggle Show off, or remove the block entirely.
The metafield with brand data remains in your shop, so reinstalling or re-adding the block restores the directory instantly.
What's next
- Featured brands - the favourites row.
- Design and layout - styling deeper.
- Brand-to-collection mapping - the link targets per brand.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put the Brand Page block on the homepage?
Yes. The block is a standard Shopify section block and works in any theme location - new page, homepage, header drawer, or footer. Most stores put it on a dedicated /pages/brands page.
Can I put multiple Brand Page blocks on the same page?
Technically yes, but it doesn't add value - both blocks read the same data and render the same directory. If you want a smaller featured section + a full list, just enable the Featured row in the single block.
Does the block ship any JavaScript to the storefront?
The directory itself renders entirely in Liquid - no JS for the core display. Search and A-Z filtering use a small client-side script (less than a few KB) for instant filtering. No third-party libraries, no font downloads, no tracker injection.
