Whats the best way to add a new arrivals collection to my store?

Is there anyway after 30days it will be removed. how do they get added into the collections.

Hi @babesboars

Just make a collection named new arrivals, then make the statement to only add products with the tag new arrivals,

Then add tags to all the products that are new arrivals. Once its done, just remove the tags from the products.

Can you add product to two collections?

You can as long as you add the statement there which says to tag it. i.e. like below

Have a look at https://apps.shopify.com/newr

It’s an app that automatically adds products to your new arrivals collections and remove them after X days (according to your settings).

The New Arrivals Shopify app is another option that might be helpful to set up an automated tag-based new arrivals collection. It can automatically tag and untag products based on creation or publishing date. You can set up a concrete period of time the products should be considered to be “new”. It will automatically remove the tag after a specified period of time.

Does it keep the items in the same order or does it mix them up each time the page loads? I’m looking for a way to add, for example, 40 new products and have those 40 rotate which ones show up first on the homepage (so the same 6 don’t show up every time just because they were added last).

@214decor , yes, you can do that if you use the the New Arrivals app. All you need is to set up the collection based on the tag configured in the app and then sort the collection by Newest. By doing so it will show the recently added products on the home page.

Here is a step-by-step video for creating a new arrivals collection based on tags, how to add the new arrival products in a featured collection on the home page or connect it banner button or navigation menu. It also shows how to add or remove items in bulk from the New Arrival Collection Video [email removed] links to members

This is nuts that there isn’t a better built in solution for this. Every single ecom platform I’ve used, and I’ve used them all, has this by default
without tagging.

This is as bad as the variants handling in Shopify

You can create a new arrivals collection easily with Shopify flow.

Simply create a Flow that adds “New Arrival” Tag when a product is created on your store. Then set an action to Wait for your specified time, then remove the Tag.

Create an Automated collection based on the “New Arrival” Tag and you are good to go. No need to pay for an App.

I tried to create this flow and received an error:

Correct this workflow issue:

  • Ensure that workflow total wait duration does not exceed 30 days.

I had wanted to make the wait time 90 days to leave items as new arrivals for 90 days


My rules are as follows:

Product added to store > check if total inventory is greater than 1 > add product tag: New Arrival > Wait for 90 days > Remove product tag: New Arrival.

This works. Thank you for sharing!

How do you create a flow?

Add Shopify flow app to your store.

Here is the flow I made to get my products into a new collection.

Product status update

product published exists

there is no tag that =‘first-published’

add product tags ‘first published’ ‘new’

wait 30 days

remove product tag new

Collection new uses tag ‘new’
