    <div class=”collection-faq”>
    <h2>FAQs</h2>
    {% assign faq_list = collection.metafields.custom.faqs.value %}
    {% for faq in faq_list %}
    <details>
    <summary>{{ faq.question }}</summary>
    <p>{{ faq.answer }}</p>
    </details>
    {% endfor %} <script type=”application/ld+json”>
    {
    “@context”: “https://schema.org”,

    “mainEntity”: [
    {% for faq in faq_list %}
    {
    “@type”: “Question”,
    “name”: {{ faq.question | json }},
    “acceptedAnswer”: {
    “@type”: “Answer”,
    “text”: {{ faq.answer | strip_html | json }}

    </div>
    {% endif %}
