Collections

If you're on the Basic plan or higher, then you can group your products into collections to make it easier to discover products by category, theme, or customer intent. Review the following examples of collections that you might create:

  • Clothes for men, women, or children.
  • Items of a certain type, such as lamps, cushions, or rugs.
  • Items that are on sale.
  • Items in a certain size or color.
  • Seasonal products, such as holiday cards and decorations.
  • Variant collections, such as only red products for Valentine's Day.
  • Multi-source collections with multiple conditions, such as an organic coffee collection with products that are tagged as organic and priced under $50 USD, and products that have a materials metafield set to ceramic and are priced over $30 USD.
  • Nested collections, such as building a Teaware collection by combining your existing Teapots, Steepers, and Infusers collections into a single new collection.

You can add multiple different sources to collections, with separate conditions and multiple values for matching products with. You can add your own products or variants, products from third-party apps that you use, and products from another existing collection.

You can also control which products appear in collections by using the following different methods:

  • Automatically add products or variants to a collection based on inclusion conditions that you set.
  • Manually add specific products or variants that you select.
  • Automatically exclude products from a collection based on exclusion conditions that you set.
  • Manually exclude specific products that you select.

You can view, create, and edit collections from the Collections page of your Shopify admin and in the Shopify mobile app.

After you create a collection, it can be displayed on your online store as a webpage with a gallery of the products that are in the collection. Your customers can then click a product image on the collection page to visit a specific product's page. You can help customers find and view collections by adding links to the collections in your store's menus.

You can use different sorting options to decide the default order in which products are displayed on individual collection pages on your storefront. The exact layout and appearance of collection pages depends on the theme and template that you use.
