Problem and result
Add Next Previous Product Navigation: Browse a Whole Range in a Few Taps
Shoppers who like a style often want to see the next one without returning to the collection page, scrolling and clicking again. Next and Previous links keep them moving through the range in a single tap, which suits fashion, art and any catalog where products are browsed rather than searched.
Every product is a dead end
To see another product, shoppers must go back to the collection, find their place and open the next one. Many give up after two or three, and the range never gets a proper look.
A way to keep moving
Previous and Next links sit on the product page with a small thumbnail and title. They follow the collection the shopper came from, skip sold-out items if you wish and stay out of the way of the buy box.
What is included
What Your Next and Previous Links Include
When you ask how to add next and previous product navigation and want it done, you get the links built in your theme, the collection context handled and every case tested.
Implementation checklist
- Previous and Next links added to your product template in the position you choose
- Links that step through the collection the shopper came from
- Small thumbnail and product title on each link
- Links hidden or looped at the first and last product, as you prefer
- Fallback to a chosen collection when a shopper lands from search or an ad
- Sold-out products skipped if you want them skipped
- Accessible links with clear labels and visible focus
- Handover note showing how to change the position and the fallback collection
The links rely on the shopper arriving through a collection. When they arrive from search, an ad or a shared link there is no collection to follow, which is why a fallback collection is part of the task.
See how it works
From Dead-End Product Pages to a Range You Can Flick Through
Follow one visit. The shopper opens a product from a collection, likes the style and taps Next to see the following product without going back.

What we need to get started
What We Need to Get Add Next / Previous Product Navigation Started
Give access in whichever way you prefer, then send the short list of details for the next and previous links, and nothing reaches your live theme before you approve it.
Collaborator access
The simplest route for the next and previous links: send the store URL and accept our collaborator request, so no password changes hands and access ends when you say so.
No store yet? We build it first
Without a store of your own, we put the next and previous links together in a development store first and transfer it to you before you choose a plan.
Prefer to share a login?
If you would rather not use the collaborator route for the next and previous links, send staff login details, although we always recommend the easier-to-revoke option.
Collection context
Tell us which collection should be used when a shopper arrives with no collection, such as from search.
Skipping
Tell us whether sold-out products should be skipped or shown.
One decision maker
Pick one reviewer for the next and previous links so every change request lands at once and fits the two included rounds.
If you are unsure which route suits the next and previous links, say so in the short form after checkout and we will suggest the simplest one.
