What Is a Smart Collection Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:12 pm

A Smart Collection is a group of products on Shopify that have been created using specific criteria. For example, you can create a Smart Collection of all products that are on sale, or all products in a certain color. Smart Collections make it easy for customers to find the products they’re looking for, and can be used to promote specific products on your shop.

There are two types of Smart Collections on Shopify: automatic and manual. Automatic Smart Collections are created based on rules that you set up, and are updated automatically as new products are added to your shop. Manual Smart Collections are created and updated manually, and can be used to group together products that don’t fit into any other collection.

PRO TIP: A Smart Collection is a collection that is automatically populated with products based on specific conditions that you choose. For example, you could create a Smart Collection of all products that are discounted by at least 20%.

While Smart Collections can be a helpful way to organize your products, it’s important to remember that they are automatically generated and populated based on the conditions that you set. This means that if you change the conditions, the products in the collection will also change. Additionally, if you add or remove products from your store that meet the conditions for the collection, they will be added or removed from the collection automatically.

Because of this, it’s important to keep an eye on your Smart Collections to make sure that they always contain the products that you want them to. Otherwise, you may end up with a collection of products that doesn’t make sense or that contains outdated or irrelevant items.

To create a Smart Collection, go to the Collections page in your Shopify admin and click Add collection. Then, select Smart collection from the Collection type drop-down menu. From there, you can set up the rules for your Smart Collection, or add products manually.
