How to Create a Collection and Add Product Groups
What This Task Does
This task gets a collection into the system and then uses that collection as the container for product groups.
Use it when you need a brand-specific collection that will support grouped product-selection behavior.
Before You Start
Make sure:
- the brand already exists
- the related products already exist
- you know whether the collection will be created through import or through your generated collection workflow
- the product attributes needed for the product groups already exist
Steps
- Create or update the collection through the workflow your team uses:
- Excel import if you are authoring collection records directly
- generated collection logic if your implementation creates collections from upstream catalog data
- Open
Settings > Collections. - Find the collection and open its detail page.
- Confirm the collection details:
- brand
- parent collection if any
- active state
- In the Product Groups section, create the product groups you need.
- For each group, choose the product type and the attributes that should become shopper-facing options.
- Save and build each group.
What Happens Next
After this flow:
- the collection exists and can be reviewed in admin
- the collection can host product groups
- shoppers can later see grouped option behavior on matching product pages once the groups are built and active
Common Mistakes
- Looking for a normal packaged collection create form when the setup is really import-driven or generated.
- Creating the collection but never opening it to configure the product groups.
- Building product groups before the products, attributes, or collection context are ready.
