how to change the maximum product limit in shopify featured collections (pitch theme)

![](https://static.mgx.me/images/2025/how-to-change-the-maximum-product-limit-in-shopify-featured-collections.webp) Ever since I started working on this [Shopify project](https://mgx.me/how-to-make-your-shopify-slides-clickable-pitch-theme) (I'm very new to its theme development ecosystem btw), I've found these edge cases interesting. The maximum product count in featured collections is a common limitation across all Shopify themes, not just Pitch. ## why Shopify themes use schema settings with predefined ranges to control product limits. These limits are often set conservatively to: - Maintain performance - Prevent overwhelming customers …but some clients have [their way](https://static.mgx.me/images/2025/dawae.webp) of getting things done. ## the solution (pitch theme specific) Here's how to break free from the 16-product limitation in the Pitch theme: ### step 1: access the theme files Navigate to your theme files and open: ``` sections/product-list.liquid ``` ### step 2: locate the Product Limit setting Find the schema section (usually near the bottom) and look for this configuration: ```liquid { "type": "range", "id": "max_products", "label": "t:settings.product_count", "min": 1, "max": 16, // ← This is your 16-product limit "step": 1, "default": 4 } ``` ### step 3: increase the maximum Change the `"max": 16` to your desired limit: ```liquid "max": 32, // Now you can show up to 32 products ``` ### step 4: save and apply 1. Save the file 2. Refresh your theme in Shopify admin 3. Test the new limit in your featured collection settings *This solution works specifically for the Pitch theme, but the concept applies to most Shopify themes. Look for similar schema settings in your theme files to achieve the same result.*
