Compatibility: All Shopify themes

This code replaces the standard pagination in collection page and loads the products when they scroll down, that is why it is a real infinite scroll. No clicking on a button. No app or library is being use. 

The written code uses Intersection Observer API, which is better than listening to the scroll event. 

“The Intersection Observer API provides a way to synchronously observe changes in the intersection of a target element with an ancestor element or with a top-level document’s viewport.” – Mozilla

The website performance is not being affected by the code. See the image below (lighthouse result) after the code installation.

This is also mobile friendly and works well with touch screen device. I also added a scroll-to-top button.

2. Open the Snippet folder and click "Add a new snippet", name it "infinite-scroll", then paste the code below. 


3. Open the collection template for your corresponding theme. It is usually under the Section folder. For Shopify 2.0 free themes, it is the "main-collection-product-grid.liquid."


Your theme is not in the list? Just contact us using "Chat with us."

4. Next, find the " {%- endpaginate -%}." Then above it, place the code below. On some themes, you might need to find the code "{% render 'pagination' %}" and place the code after it. For updated Dawn version 8 and above, please look for the {% render pagination... code and place the code after the {% endif %}. See image below. Infinite scroll placement

5. Make sure to SAVE your work.

Update 09/01/2022: I found a code difference between Dawn version 2.1 below and the current version. Code updated to works with both

Update 08/20/2023: Found a placement issue to newer version of Dawn
