Lulu here from the Shopify Support team. Thanks for reaching out here, and I’ll be more than happy to help you out.
That is a great idea to advertise the newest products that you have on offer. This app would be the best way to achieve this at the moment. This app lets you create recent product collections that update automatically based on the time window that you specify. It is perfect for seasonal items, date range collections organize your products by when they were added. You can even create collections for future dates and the items created at that time will be automatically added as they’re added to your store.
Hope that helps but please let me know if you have any other questions. You can also ask us all sorts of things. If you want our opinion about your business plan or site layout, even with marketing and growth aspects you’re curious about, then be sure to reach out. Almost anything you have questions about when it comes to eCommerce, I’ve likely at least seen others touch on before and will be glad to help you too!
I am not going to pay fr this kind of thing. I saw users add this features with coding.
can you help me code somthing like that? I know my way around the liqued but i am not sure where to put this specific code and how to address it to a specific collection.
Arigato can do this for you, along with a million other things. It’s $5 for a basic store with unlimited automations so you should be able to find many other ways to get value out of it.
I just had the same question, found this thread but figured it out myself - the easy answer is: Simply create a new collection of all products and sort by addition date, starting from the newest. No app required. It’s ridiculous that there are apps that charge a monthly fee for doing this basic feature.
@bredowmax Great solution for a simple use case! We’ll refer inquiries to your solution if it fits a customer’s use case in the future. People are always surprised and thankful when we tell them “you don’t need an app for that, try this instead”.
Our automation app (Arigato) becomes valuable in this case when very specific conditions are required. For example, only include certain types of products, certain variants, certain prices, certain metafields, etc. This is an example of an anecdotal issue that it can solve, alongside many, many other issues of varying degrees of complexity. The value comes out when merchants use it to solve multiple complex problems at once, rather than hiring a developer, setting up a webhook server, and so on, when no other app can handle the customer’s one-off use case.
That is a fine idea. But if you want to display collection on the homepage, it’d be not feasible.
It only works when you link customers to another page that you have already chosen the sort / filter function.
So far, my method is to keep a separate excel, tag correlate newly-added products, then when the season is over I’ll use Bulk Editor to pull those tags out.
But this is really a basic function Shopify Collection should be apple to pull. No doubt.
