4. Creating and Managing Collections

⚠️ Collections created in Variantify are also created in Shopify Admin, under the Collections menu.

‍

Step 1 – Create a new collection

From the main view of the app, click on “Create Collection” to start.

Then, enter a collection title and an optional description to help identify your collection later.

‍

Step 2 – Choose the collection type

• Manual
  
• Smart
  

Step 3 – Add products or variants

‍

If you choose Smart, products are automatically selected based on conditions you define.

For example:

• Product tag contains “chair”
  
• Product price is greater than 100
  

Smart Collections automatically update when new products match these rules, no need for manual updates.

‍

If you choose Manual, you have two methods:

• Method 1: Add products
  
  • Shows all variants of the selected products.
    
  • Selection by conditions (tags, vendor, price, etc.) or directly by SKU, title, or barcode.

‍

• Method 2: Add specific variants
  
  • Displays only the exact variants you select.
    
  • Selection by SKU or barcode.

Method 2 is ideal if you want to display specific variants.

For example, if you want to create a collection that shows only black variants, you can add the SKUs of those variants, and only the corresponding variants will appear.

5. Display Settings

Variant toggle

• Enable/disable variant display for a collection.
  
• This toggle is available in two places:
  
  • Inside Display Settings
    
  • At the top of the page
    
    

Filter options

• Show/Hide out-of-stock variants
  → Perfect for keeping collections clean.
  
• Show only discounted variants
  → Ideal for promotional or seasonal sales.
  
  

Split variant by

Select the product option used to split your variants (e.g., color, size, letter, etc.).

For example, this merchant selected the option letter to split his variants by letter.

‍

Variant title format

‍

Customize how your variant titles appear by choosing one of the following formats:

‍

Format 1: Product title – Variant title

Format 2: Product title

Format 3: Product title – Option 1

Format 4: Product title – Option 2

‍

For this example:

Product title: Eira Chair

Variant title: Blue / S

Option 1 (Color): Green

Option 2 (Size): Small

‍

The results would be :

Format 1 :  Eira Chair – Blue / S

Format 2 : Eira Chair
