Creating collections and adding products to them is an essential part of organizing your online store on platforms like Shopify. Collections help customers navigate your store and find products more easily. Here’s how you can create a collection and add products to it on Shopify:
- Log in to Your Shopify Admin: Log in to your Shopify account to access your admin dashboard.
- Create a Collection:
- From your Shopify admin, navigate to the “Products” tab on the left sidebar, and then select “Collections.”
- Click on the “Create collection” button.
- Configure Collection Settings:
- Enter a title for your collection. This title will be displayed on your store.
- Optionally, you can add a description to provide more information about the collection.
- Choose whether the collection will be manual or automated:
- Manual Collection: You manually select which products to include in the collection.
- Automated Collection: You set conditions based on product attributes, and Shopify automatically includes products that match those conditions.
- Add Products to the Collection:
- If you’re creating a manual collection, you’ll need to add products to it manually:
- In the “Products” section of the collection setup, click the “Add products” button.
- Search for and select the products you want to include in the collection.
- Click “Add products.”
- If you’re creating an automated collection, configure the conditions that products must meet to be included:
- In the “Products” section, click the “Conditions” dropdown.
- Choose attributes like product type, tag, vendor, price range, etc., and set the conditions.
- Shopify will automatically include products that match the conditions.
- If you’re creating a manual collection, you’ll need to add products to it manually:
- Save the Collection:
- Once you’ve added products to the collection, click the “Save” button to create the collection.
- View and Manage Collections:
- After creating the collection, you can go back to the “Collections” page to see an overview of all your collections.
- You can edit, reorder, or delete collections as needed.
- Display Collections on Your Store:
- Collections are typically displayed on your store’s navigation menu or homepage, depending on your theme and design settings.
- Customize the appearance and arrangement of collections using your theme’s customization options.
