In this blog post, we’ll show you how to use Shopify’s collections feature to showcase a specific collection of products on your online store. We’ll also provide some tips on how to make sure your collections are well-organized and easy for customers to browse.
Step One: Choose a Collection Type
There are three types of collections you can create on Shopify: smart, manual, and automated.
1. Smart collections are automatically updated as you add new products that match the collection’s conditions. This is the easiest type of collection to set up and maintain, but it doesn’t give you as much control over which products are included.
2. Manual collections let you hand-pick the products that should be included. This gives you complete control over what’s in the collection, but it can take more time to update manually.
3. Automated collections are similar to smart collections, but they’re updated using a CSV file instead of Shopify’s built-in conditions. This is a good option if you need more control over which products are included or if you have a large number of products to add at once.
Step Two: Create a New Collection
Assuming you’ve already logged in to your Shopify account, the first step is to create a new collection. To do this, click on the “Collections” link in the sidebar menu on the left-hand side of your screen.
On the Collections page, click on the “Add Collection” button near the top of the page.
In the “Collection Details” section, you’ll need to give your new collection a name and decide whether it will be a visible or hidden collection. Then, click on the “Save Collection” button.
Now that you’ve created your new collection, it’s time to add products to it!
Step Three: Add a Condition
Assuming you have already completed Steps One and Two, the next step is to add a condition. This will ensure that only products from the specific collection you have chosen will be displayed on your Shopify store. To do this, go to “Online Store > Themes > Edit HTML/CSS”. In the Layout folder, click on “theme.liquid” to open it in the code editor.
At the very bottom of the file, add the following code:
{% if collection %} {% for product in collection.products %} {{ product.title }} {% endfor %} {% endif %}
Replace “collection” with the handle of your chosen collection. For example, if your collection is called “Summer Collection”, then your code would look like this:
{% if summer-collection %} {% for product in summer-collection.products %} {{ product.title }} {% endfor %} {% endif %}
Save your changes and you’re done!
Step Four: Set the Sort Order
The final step is to set the sort order for your collection. This will determine the order in which products are displayed on the collection page. To do this, go to the “Sort order” section of the “Edit collection” page and select the desired sorting option from the drop-down menu. Options include:
-Best selling
-Featured
-Alphabetically, A-Z
-Alphabetically, Z-A
-Price, low to high
-Price, high to low
-Date, old to new
-Date, new to old
-Manually
