Ways of adding collection pages on Shopify
Furthermore, displaying your collections may be done in a variety of ways. For example, products designed to fulfill a particular need. Items such as furniture, literature, and pet supplies are examples. Additionally, collections can be added for products that are currently on sale or are limited editions for a certain holiday or season. This includes things like Christmas sweaters and school supplies.
There are two types of adding and managing collections – Manual and Automatic.
- Adding collections manually: All the Shopify items that you manually put together create a collection. It’s more work to keep this kind of collection up-to-date, and it won’t change if nothing is added or removed. For limited-time promotions like flash sales, a manual collecting method might be useful.
- Automatically created collections: The goods in an automated Shopify collection are added depending on the user’s criteria. A product will be added to the collection automatically once it satisfies the criteria the user has set. If you have a lot of products to showcase in a collection, automating the collection creation process is a huge time saver.
