Collections are flat groups of products used for merchandising: “Summer 2025”, “Best Sellers”, “Gifts Under $50”. Unlike Categories, they have no hierarchy and a product can belong to as many as you like. The useful part is that a collection can fill itself. Set rules once, and products join and leave as their tags, price or availability change — no list to maintain. To manage collections, open the Collections tab of the admin dashboard, found under Products.

​
Create a collection

Click New Collection, give it a name, and save. You will land on the collection editor, where you decide how its products are chosen.

​
Choosing the products

A collection is either curated by hand or driven by rules. The switch is Set members automatically from rules.
Leave the switch off and pick products yourself with Add products. Search, tick the ones you want, and they are added when you save.Use this when the grouping is an editorial decision — a homepage feature, a gift guide — that no rule could express.You can also set the order products appear in. Choose Manual sorting and drag rows into place; any other sort order is applied for you.
Switching a collection from rules back to hand-picked clears nothing, but the products it had been matching are no longer members until you add them. Decide which way a collection works before you build a storefront page around it.

​
Storefront listing

Collections have their own page on the storefront, so each one gets a name, description, images and search engine listing settings — the same fields a category has. The slug is what appears in the URL.

​
Translations

If your store sells in more than one language, collection names and descriptions can be translated. See Translations.

​
Categories or collections?

Both group products, and stores normally use both.
  • Categories are the shelves — a browsable tree a customer navigates. Fashion → Men → Footwear.
  • Collections cut across the shelves — everything on sale, everything new this season, everything under $50.
