# Quick Nav on Collections **Type:** Component Test · **Where It Runs:** Collection Page · **Setup Time:** \~10 min Test whether adding collection circle navigation to your collection pages increases revenue by making it easier for shoppers to browse between collections. *** ### Video Walkthrough {% embed url="" %} *** ### Why This Works When a shopper lands on a collection page, they're already in browsing mode. But if they don't find what they want in that specific collection, the typical next step is going back to the menu, finding another collection, and clicking through. That's friction, and every extra step is a chance to lose them. Adding collection circles at the top of the collection page gives shoppers a one-tap shortcut to jump between related collections without ever leaving the browsing flow. Best sellers, trending, featured, seasonal drops, all visible and tappable right at the top of the page. This is especially effective on mobile, where navigating through a hamburger menu to switch collections feels clunky. Collection circles keep shoppers in a browsing mindset and make it easier to discover more of your catalog. More products seen, more chances to convert. ### Best For * Stores with multiple collections that shoppers would naturally browse between * Mobile-heavy traffic stores * Stores where collection pages are a top landing page or high-traffic entry point * Any store that wants to improve cross-collection discoverability ### How to Set It Up 1. In your Elevate dashboard, click **Page Experiment** 2. Give your experiment a name and add a description of your hypothesis 3. Set your primary metric to **Revenue per Visitor** 4. Select **Collection Page** as the target. Run it on all collections, or select specific ones 5. For the variation, click **Add Custom Component**. You'll see several options: collection circles, collection badges, product circles, or product badges. **Collection circles** is a strong starting point 6. Select your collection template to duplicate, then click **Duplicate**. Elevate will create a copy and add the component to the top of it 7. Click **Edit in Shopify** to open the duplicated template in the theme editor 8. You'll see the collection circles component already added. Click on it to customize. Elevate styles it based on your theme, but you can adjust the stroke color, border width, image size, which collections are displayed, and the display order 9. Rearrange collections to put your strongest ones first. Remove any that don't make sense in the navigation (e.g. a niche collection that would clutter the row) 10. Hit **Save** in the theme editor and go back to Elevate 11. Preview the variation and control on both desktop and mobile. Click through the collection links to make sure they route correctly 12. Leave traffic split at **50/50**. No need to isolate traffic or set audience targeting 13. Click **Create Experiment** to put it in preview state, do a final QA check, then **Launch** ### What to Look For **Primary metric:** Revenue per visitor. You want to know if easier cross-collection navigation is actually leading to more purchases. **Also watch:** Segment your results by mobile vs desktop. This component works on both, but it tends to have a bigger impact on mobile because it replaces the friction of navigating through a hamburger menu. You don't need to restrict the audience to mobile only for this test. Just filter the results after the fact to see how each device type performed. **Timeline:** 1-2 weeks for most stores. Collection pages typically get solid traffic, so you should reach significance quickly. ### Need Help?
