Collections & pages
Collections group products for merchandising — "New arrivals", "Gift sets", a seasonal edit — and your storefront uses them for navigation and landing sections. Pages are standalone content (About, FAQ, policies) published from the same place. Both live under Catalog in the admin.
Create a collection
From Catalog → Collections, choose New Collection:
- Name and Slug — the slug is the collection's URL on your storefront.
- Description — optional intro copy your storefront can show on the collection's page.
- Status — Draft while you build it, Active to publish.
Add and arrange products
On the collection's page:
- Use the Add Items picker to pull in products — it only offers items that aren't already in the collection, so you can't double-add.
- Reorder with the up/down arrows. The order here is the order customers see on the collection page.
- Remove takes a product out of the collection without touching the product itself.
A product can belong to any number of collections.
Collections can also carry their own images (a hero for the collection page, say) — managed the same way as product images; see Media & images.
Content pages
From Catalog → Pages, create standalone pages:
- Title and Slug — the slug is the page URL.
- Excerpt — an optional short summary (up to 500 characters) for previews and search results.
- Content — the page body.
- Status — pages use Draft and Published (rather than Active). Only Published pages appear on your storefront.
Archive & restore
Archive hides a collection or page from the storefront immediately without deleting anything, and Restore brings it back as a Draft so you can review before re-publishing. (Products restore differently — they return to the status they had when archived; see Products & variants.) An archived page shows a banner reminding you it's hidden until restored.
Who can do this
Owners and Admins can create and edit collections and pages. For Staff, the Catalog permission group unlocks the collections editor and the Content group unlocks the pages editor — granting just one unlocks only its screen. The matching New Collection and New Page buttons unlock with those same groups. See Team & permissions.
