Adding Shopify Collections Within Collections (+ Sorting Them Effectively Afterward)

Until recently, Shopify users faced limitations in organizing their online stores with sub-collections and smart sorting options. With a recent Shopify update, Shopify has introduced exciting new features that allow you to enjoy the benefits of adding sub-collections within collections and implement smart sorting for an enhanced customer shopping experience.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the process step-by-step and introduce you to a powerful automated sorting tool.

Adding Sub-Collections on Shopify

Once you've added collections on Shopify, simply follow these steps to add sub-collections:

1. From your Shopify Admin page, expand the Online Store section under Sales Channels in the dashboard menu.


2. Click on Navigation, and from there, select Main Menu. Here, you'll find various navigation options for your store.


3. If you don't have menu items set up, click Add menu item. Give the item a name and select one of the collections you've previously set up.


4. To create a sub-collection, add another menu item. Use the six dots to click and drag the sub-item underneath another collection slightly to the right. When done correctly, a purple bar with a small dot will appear, indicating it's now a sub-collection. Release the mouse button and click Save.
