How to Create Collections in Shopify: A Group That Shoppers Can Actually Reach
A collection nobody can find does nothing. It needs a clear title, the right products, a way to reach it from the menu and a sort order that shows the best items first.
Products with no obvious home
Related products sit scattered in the catalogue. A collection exists but is half filled, has no description and is not in the menu.
A collection that works
The collection is created, filled by hand or by rule and written up for search. It is linked in the menu and its sort order shows the best products first.
What is included
What Your New Collection Includes
When you create a collection in Shopify, you get the build, the products and the link to reach it.
Implementation checklist
- A collection created with the title you choose
- A short description and an image added
- A search listing title and description written
- Products added by hand or through rules you choose
- Tags set on products where rules need them
- The sort order set, manual or automatic
- The collection linked in your menu or on a page
- The live collection page checked on desktop and phone
A collection is not found by shoppers until it is linked, so we add it to your menu where you say. Changing a collection's handle later changes its address, so we choose it carefully and tell you what it is.

How it works
How We Handle Your Collection Creation, Step by Step
Six clear steps take your collection creation from order to handover, with testing before anything touches your live theme and a clear view of what happens next.
- 1
Purchase
Configure the collection creation to your needs, confirm the fixed price and complete the secure checkout to start the job.
- 2
Access
Approve our collaborator request and fill in the short brief, and ownership never changes hands while we work on the collection creation.
- 3
Build in a duplicate theme
We make the collection creation in a duplicate of your theme, so your live store keeps selling while we work.
- 4
QA
We run the collection creation through a test pass on small phones, tablets and desktop screens and correct what we find.
- 5
Handover
On your go-ahead the collection creation is published, and you get a short document explaining where everything lives.
- 6
Support
Should the collection creation need a tweak once it is live, tell us and we will either fix it or quote it, never surprise you.

What we need to get started
What We Need to Get Create New Collection & Add Products Started
Choose how you want to give access, then send the few details that matter for the collection creation, and we never touch your live theme until you have approved the result.
Collaborator access
Send your store URL and approve our Shopify collaborator request for the collection creation, and you stay the owner, no password is shared and you can remove our access once the work is live.
No store yet? We build it first
Starting from scratch is fine, because we build the collection creation in our development store and hand ownership to you at the end, and you pick your Shopify plan only then.
Prefer to share a login?
Staff login details also work for the collection creation, while collaborator access remains the tidier choice because you can end it in one click.
Your collections
Tell us the names and which products belong in each.
Your menu
Tell us where each should sit in the menu.
One decision maker
One person who signs off the collection creation, which keeps feedback tidy and inside the two revision rounds.
If you are not certain which access option suits the collection creation, the short form after checkout is the place to say so and we will point you to the easiest.
