Create A Collection

This window is where you collect certain products under one category and assign them to your shop.

A collection is a way to group related products under one theme, like ‘Summer Sale,’ ‘Best Sellers,’ or ‘New Arrivals.’ When you create a collection, you give your customers a way to browse smarter, not harder. It also helps with internal organization, so you can control what shows up where in your store.

📋 Steps

From the admin menu, click 'Collections.’

Click ‘Add New Collection.’

A window will appear where you can enter your collection title and description, click or drag and drop an image, and select a collection theme.

And when you click ‘Create,’ additional options will appear:

Add search tags to connect your collection with a search filter or chip.

The search score determines the order of the collections in the search; for example, add 1 to make your collection the first one to appear.

You’ll also find the collection’s created ID and date of creation.

Now, it’s time to assign products to this collection. Click ‘Add Product.’

Select the product and click ‘Done.’

Keep in mind that there are two ways to add a product to a collection: you can either add the product to the collection section or assign the collection to the product section.

Once your collections are set up and products assigned, the collection structure becomes part of your app’s visible navigation. Users can filter by collection in the store interface, giving them a curated browsing experience. Behind the scenes, this also helps you manage and promote certain offerings (for example, highlighting ‘Best Offers’ or grouping ‘On Sale’).
