"New Arrivals" Section

Shopify Discussion
1

Hello.

I am looking for a way to add a “New Arrivals” section to my home page. What I would prefer is for the section to automatically display the latest six items based on the item published date. Any ideas? I tried looking in the app store but did not find anything. If it helps, I am using the Dwell theme. Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks.

You need to create a new collection, make it automatic and select criteria like “Price > 0”.
Then, still in admin, set sort to “Newest”.
This will keep your newest products at the beginning.

Now you only need to add “Featured collection” section, select this collection and set number of items to 6.

Update – re-read the opening post and this my suggestion is not 100% – “newest” sorts according to “created_at” property, not “published_at”.

If this is significant, then you’d need to use automation app, like Flow to re-sort the “new arrivals” collections.

No stress, just simple configuration.
I wonder what do these “new arrivals” sections do?

What do you mean by “show some of your products as new arrival” – not real new arrivals, just some products store owner has to select manually?

What’s the difference from the “Featured collection” then?

Then again:

How your suggestion to ditch their theme fulfils this request?

Hi @ps1505 ,
Yes - you can absolutely create a New Arrivals section that automatically shows your latest 6 products, and you don’t need an app for this.

Shopify already sorts products by published date inside a collection.
So the cleanest method is:

Step 1: Create a “New Arrivals” collection

  1. Go to Products → Collections → Create collection
  2. Name it New Arrivals
  3. Set Collection type: Automated
  4. Conditions →
  • Product must match ALL conditions
  • Condition: Product price → is greater than → 0
    (Basically includes all products)
  1. Sort by: Newest → Oldest

This makes the collection automatically update whenever you publish a new product.

Step 2: Add the collection to your homepage

  1. Go to Online Store → Themes → Customize
  2. Home page
  3. Add section → Collection List or Featured Collection
  4. Select New Arrivals
  5. Set the product limit to 6

Done - now your homepage will always show the newest 6 products automatically.

Yes, please explain how does it do it? What magic your “better themes” do?

Please, recommend some as you offered.

:rofl: oscprofessional simply repeated what I’ve suggested at the very top of the topic.
You, however, promised do recommend a theme which has “New arrivals” feature.

I am still waiting for your recommendations.

Was your recommendation helpful though?

Hi everyone.

Wow…just now catching up on the replies. Thank you all for your input…..it was most helpful. I will try what is suggested later today, and if it works (and I’m sure it will), I will update the post to Solution.

Thanks again and have a great week.
