Collections

Collections help customers browse and find products by grouping them together.

Viewing Collections

1. Click Collections in the left sidebar
2. See all your collections with their product counts and slugs
3. Search collections by name

Creating a Collection

1. Go to Collections
2. Click Create Collection
3. Pick a Collection Type from the dropdown — types are grouped by category (for example Firearms, with Handguns, Rifles, Shotguns beneath it), and each group also offers an “(All)” entry for the whole category
4. Click Create Collection

The collection’s name and URL slug both come from the type you pick — you do not type them yourself. You can only have one collection per type; creating a duplicate is rejected.

If your store has more than 100 products, the create dialog also offers Suggest collections, which reviews your catalog and proposes the collection types that fit it. Adjust the selection, then create them all at once.

Collection Details

Open a collection to manage it:

Collection Type

The Collection Information card holds a single Collection Type dropdown. Changing the type and clicking Save Changes renames the collection and rewrites its slug to match the new type.

Note: Changing the type after publishing changes the slug, which will break existing links.

Cover Image

Add a cover image for the collection:

1. Click Select Image (or Change Image if one is already set) to open the Media Library
2. Choose an option:
   • My Library - Choose from images already in your team’s media library
   • Upload Images - Upload new images into your library (max 10 files, 10 MB each)
   • Stock Images - Search Pixabay for free images
3. Selecting an image sets it as the cover immediately

Use the trash button in the Cover Image card header to remove the cover.

Managing Products

Collections are manual: a product belongs to a collection because you (or an import) assigned it there. There are no automatic rules or conditions that pull products into a collection.

Adding Products

1. Open the collection
2. Click Add Products (an empty collection shows Add Your First Product instead)
3. Search for products by name or SKU
4. Tick the products to add
5. Click Add Selected Products

Because a product belongs to only one collection, adding it here moves it out of whatever collection it was in before. You can also set the collection from the product’s own Collection dropdown.

Removing Products

1. Open the collection
2. Find the product in the Products in Collection list
3. Click Remove
4. Confirm removal

The product is not deleted — it simply has no collection until you assign one.

Deleting a Collection

1. Open the collection
2. Click Delete Collection
3. Confirm deletion

Products in the collection are not deleted, just unassigned.

Filters on Collection Pages

Collection pages, including the all-products page at /collections/all, show filters built from your products: availability, price, sale status, product type, and the specifications your theme’s Collection Filters setting allows. Product type and specification filters narrow as shoppers select others, so they only offer values that still have matching products.

A link that opens one product type, such as a menu item pointing at /collections/all?filter.p.product_type=suppressors, shows that type as a ticked Product type filter. Shoppers can add a caliber or any other filter without losing it, so selecting 9mm narrows the suppressors rather than the whole catalog. Ticking a second product type widens the results to either type.

Sold-out products can be kept at the end of the page: turn on Show out-of-stock products last under Collection Pages in Theme settings. It applies in every sort order and with any filters, and leaves search results alone.

Collection Examples

Collection names come from the built-in type list, so they line up with your catalog:
