I’m facing an issue with a Shopify collection that is set up to automatically include products marked as “preorder” using a specific condition. Ideally, when I update a product by setting the condition to true and save it, the product should automatically appear in the preorder collection. However, the update doesn’t reflect immediately. I have to manually open the collection and refresh the page for the product to show up. This constant refreshing is quite frustrating. Could someone please help me understand what’s causing this delay and how to fix it?
One workaround I found is to use an app like “Auto Collections” that can refresh collections more effectively. Or, if you’re comfortable with coding, you could set up a small custom script to trigger a collection refresh when a product’s status changes.
Hi @Zameer1908
This is a normal Shopify indexing delay, not a bug. Automated collections run on background jobs and are not immediate. To minimize friction, trigger a product save via bulk editor or use Flow to re-save tagged products. Front-end updates immediately; Admin view just caches until refresh. Nothing customers can do today to impact any of them.
