Are you struggling to organize your Shopify store and ensure customers find the right products quickly? Adding conditions to your collections can solve that! By automatically sorting products based on price, tags, or inventory, you can save time while providing a seamless shopping experience.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to add conditions for collections on Shopify, making it easy to organize your store and boost customer satisfaction.

How To Add Selection Conditions For An Automated Collection

Automated collections in Shopify enable you to group products based on specific conditions you define, saving time and effort. This ensures your store stays organized without manually adding products to collections.

Here’s how to add selection conditions for an automated collection step-by-step:

  • Step 1: Go to your Shopify admin and either create a new collection or edit an existing one. You can do this by going to Products > Collections.

Step 2: In the first drop-down menu, choose a condition type. You can select options like Product title, Price, Tag, Weight, or other criteria depending on how you want to organize your collection.

Step 3: In the second drop-down menu, you’ll select how the condition is applied. For example, you can choose options like Equals, Greater than, Less than, or Contains to filter products.

Step 4: In the third field, type in the condition value.

Step 5: If you want to add more conditions, click “Add another condition” and repeat the steps above.

How To Replace A Manual Collection With An Automated Collection

Shopify doesn’t allow you to directly convert a manual collection into an automated one, but you can create a new automated collection to replace the existing manual collection.

  • Step 1: Add a tag to all products in the manual collection
  • Step 2: Go to Products > Collections in your Shopify admin and create a new collection.
  • Step 3: In the Conditions section, set the condition to be based on the tag you just added to the products.

How To Change The Contents Of An Automated Collection

If you want to update or change the products included in an automated collection on Shopify, you can easily do this by adjusting the conditions or editing products so that they no longer meet the set conditions.

Here’s how to change the contents of an automated collection in a few simple steps:

  • Step 1: From your Shopify admin, click “Products” in the left-hand menu and select “Collections.”

Step 2: Select th “Collection” you want to edit.

Step 3: In the Conditions section, click “Conditions” to add, remove, or adjust conditions based on your preferences.

Once you’ve updated the conditions, click Save. Shopify will add matching products and remove products that don’t match.
