In your Shopify admin, browse to the Products section, then click Collections.

Step 2: Tap on the collection’s name

Tap on the name of the collection that you intend to update.

Step 3: Tap on the x button

From the Products section, you tap on the x button next to the item that you want to eliminate from your collection, which will not remove it from Shopify.

Using Excelify app

If you are ready to experience an app, then you can try using Excelify to move your products between collections.

With the app, you can export all your Automatic Collections and change the Rules in the exported Excel file and import those collections back. The Excelify app will update those collection rules and Shopify will automagically move your items according to new Rules.

Or, you can export all your Products to Excel and modify product data to make them fit the rules conforming to your automatic collections. When you import back the updated products, Shopify will automatically move them to their collections following the automatic collection rules.

Note that you can utilize both methods to swap your items among automatic collections. More importantly, with those imports, it is unnecessary to execute the task of substituting existing products. Your single job is only updating necessary columns for them and importing only the columns that you intend to modify.

Conclusion

In conclusion, moving products from one collection to another will not be a daunting task now. We hope that you can do it smoothly and manage your store on the Shopify platform effectively and efficiently.
