Collections

Ericson C. Smith · Updated February 19, 2026

Collections are groups of objects. The CMS has several kinds of collections:

• Blogs - {{blogs}}
• Products - {{products}}
• Photos - {{photos}}
• Videos - {{videos}}
• Places - {{places}}
• Testimonials - {{testimonials}}
• Social media posts - {{socials}}
• Offers (Landing pages) - {{offers}}

If you have created a page with any of the above types, the corresponding Liquid tag will be available that contains the collection. You can create the HTML to render a list of items in the collection like this:

Notice the liquid tag "blogs" on line 2 us being used in a loop.

Please refer to the standard Liquid documentation for how to use loops, conditional statements and so on.
