New user: Trying to figure out how to "nest" by products, under my collections

Topic summary

A new store owner is struggling to properly organize their e-commerce navigation and product hierarchy. They want clicking “EBike” in the top navigation to display a page showing all bike brand collections (currently 6 brands they carry), rather than having everything displayed on the landing page.

Current Issues:

  • Clicking on collection buttons only refreshes the page instead of opening the collection
  • All products appear unorganized on the homepage rather than nested under their respective brand collections
  • Products are already categorized (e.g., as “JackRabbit” items) but won’t display in the intended collection windows

Desired Structure:

  • Customer clicks “EBike” → sees page with 6 brand collections
  • Customer clicks specific brand (e.g., “JackRabbit”) → sees only JackRabbit products

The user believes all product information is filled out correctly and products are properly classified, but suspects they’re missing a crucial configuration step to make the nested collection structure work.

New user: Trying to figure out how to “nest” by products, under my collections.

Thank you all for taking a minute to help me. I think my problem is a single click away, but I have been messing around for weeks and still can’t get my products arranged under the categories I want. Here is the best way I can explain what I am trying to solve for.
1.) I would like the section “EBike”, that I have created in my top navigation bar to bring my customer to a page that has the collections of Ebikes brands I carry. In the way that they are now on my landing page. I want them nested inside that “Ebike” link, and not splayed out on the landing page. If I click “Ebikes”, it brings me to my collections. If I click on any collection. It just refreshes the page. I have all the products categories matching?
2.) I can not figure out how to get all of the product listings I have created to show up under any specific category. Say for instance. I would like a customer to Click. “Ebike” at the top. It opens to a page of the 6 brands I carry. Then, when they click that a brand say “JackRabbit” for instance. I would like it to take them to the items I have already classified as JackRabbit products, and no other ones.
As it stands now, they are all just on my home page, in the huge, unorganized directory.

I am filling out all of the product information in a way that seems to be correct, but must not be. Or I am missing something all together. Thanks for your help.

Right now, clicking any of my collection buttons, will just refresh the page. I believe I have classified all the product aka inventory correctly. But I cant fiqure out how to make it open in that window.
