This guide will walk you step by step through creating a new collection page in GemPages and assigning it to your Shopify collections.
What Is a Shopify Collection Page?
A Shopify collection page is a dedicated page that displays products grouped under a specific collection. Collections organize your products by categories (such as “Summer Dresses,” “New Arrivals,” or “Best Sellers”), making it easier for shoppers to browse by theme or type.
Well-structured collection pages improve the customer experience, keep visitors on your site longer, and can significantly boost sales by guiding customers toward the right products.
How to Create a New Collection on Shopify
Before creating a Shopify collection page in GemPages, make sure the collection already exists in your Shopify Admin. GemPages only displays collections that are created in Shopify.
Step 1: Log in to Shopify. Go to your Shopify Admin Dashboard.
Step 2: Navigate to Products > Collections from the left-hand menu. Click the “Create Collection” button at the top right of the page.
Step 3: Configure Collection type settings:
- Manual Collection: Manually add products to the collection.
- Automated Collection: Set conditions to automatically add matching products.
Step 4: Fill in other necessary information. Click “Save” to create your collection.
