Organize Products

Manage categories, collections, templates

Category Management

Merchants can create categories to organize their marketplace. Both merchants and vendors can assign products to the right category when adding or editing.

Steps:

  1. Go to Products > Manage categories to create New categories.

Collection Management

Collections are a way to organize products on your website. It is recommended that you create automatic collections using rules based on your product data. The three most common rules are as follows:

  1. Create Automatic Collections in Shopify using "Vendor Name" as a condition: This automatically assigns products belonging to a specific vendor to a chosen collection.
  2. Create Automatic Collections in Shopify using "Tags" as a condition: Vendors can add specific tags to their products, which then determine which collections they're included in.
  3. Create Automatic Collections in Shopify using "Category" as a condition: This automatically assigns products belonging to a specific category to a chosen collection.

Template Management

Merchants can create pre-defined product templates for vendors so that vendors can add data in the pre-defined format.

Steps:

  1. Go to Products > Hamburger Menu > Manage product templates.
  2. Choose to Create a new template or Edit/Delete existing templates.

Once a template is created it will be visible in the product add/edit page.
