Use the Collections screen to group products for display on your storefront. Each collection has its own title, description, image, product list and storefront page.

​
Where to find it

In the admin sidebar, under Storefront, select Collections.
To open this screen, your role needs View only or Full access for Collections. To create, edit or delete collections, it needs Full access. On the Roles screen, Collections is in the Commerce card. Open the card and set access from the Collections area’s menu, not the card’s.

​
What’s on the screen

The Add Collection button is at the top of the page.
  • The All, Published, Scheduled, Draft and Archived tabs filter the list by status.
  • Use the search box to find a collection.
The list has these columns:
  • Preview: the collection’s image, or an empty frame if it has none.
  • Name: the collection’s title. Click it, or anywhere on the row, to open the collection.
  • Status: Published, Draft, Archived, or Scheduled with the date and time it goes live.
  • Countries: the countries the collection is limited to, shown as up to two flags plus a count of the rest, such as +3. All means the collection isn’t limited and is available in every country you sell in.
  • Date Modified: when the collection was last changed.
The newest collections are listed first. Click the Name or Date Modified header to sort by that column. Each row’s actions menu has Edit and Delete. To delete several collections, select their rows and choose Delete from the table header’s menu.
A banner above the list lets you try a new version of the table. Click Try it to switch, or Switch back to return. The new table adds Status and Country filters. Your choice is saved in your browser.
