Understanding Product Collections

Watch this video to understand what collections are:

Create a collection

You can create a collection and add products to the collection. If the collection is available to your online store, then you can change the order in which the products are displayed from the collection page.

You can add only entire products to a collection. You can't add specific variants.

If you don't want to publish the collection as soon as you create it, then you can set a specific date when the collection will be published to your online store. Learn more about future publishing.
