What Are Collections on Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:30 pm

Shopify collections are a way to group products together. They can be used to organize your products, or to create special sales and promotions. You can also use them to display related products on product pages, and to make your store easier to navigate.

There are two types of collections: automatic and manual. Automatic collections are based on rules that you set, and they update automatically as new products are added to your store. Manual collections are created and updated manually, and they give you more control over which products are included.

PRO TIP: Shopify’s collections feature lets you group products together in a way that makes sense for your business. For example, you might have a collection for each season, or one for each type of product you sell.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind when using Shopify’s collections feature:

1. Make sure your collections are well-organized and easy to navigate. Otherwise, customers may get frustrated and leave your site without making a purchase.

2. Pay attention to the way you name and describe your collections. Use keywords that potential customers are likely to search for, and make sure your descriptions are clear and concise.

3. Don’t forget to promote your collections! Add links to them on your homepage and product pages, and make sure they show up in search engine results.

You can create as many collections as you want, and there is no limit to the number of products that can be in a collection. There are some limitations on how you can use collections, depending on your Shopify plan:

If you have the Shopify Basic plan, you can create up to 20 manual collections and 50 smart collections.
If you have the Shopify Advanced plan or higher, you can create an unlimited number of manual collections and smart collections.
