Hi, at 2022, I still had the same problem and I found out how to fix it.
Most of the Guru show me too much info that I haven’t need them yet
So, the solution can be simple in 2 steps:
each time you prepare any product, inside its individual page, make sure you click MANAGE at SALES CHANNELS AND APPS, and choose all the channels, and SAVE; this move will make all the products visible.
make sure all you finish-prep products are in Action.
That’s the answer I think will suitable for all newbies like me.
Thank you, that worked. However, we have thousands of products and performing this process to each individual product is simply not feesible. Clearly the bulk selection for ALL products and updating the channels they appear in does not work. I have tried that many times today. So annoying that this bug appears and is not resolved.
I have a featured collection as well as a drop down. If I clicked on the collection image, my products showed up, but if I used the drop down method they did not. By following these steps provided my issue is resolved. It was making me crazy!
I was having the same issue but then i tried the second solution and it worked. For anyone who has this problem, try checking your particular product on the products tab. click on it. to the right where it says “SALES CHANNELS AND APPS”, click the manage button and then select online store. Your products should immediately appear
This helped me after being stumped for days!! Thanks so much!!! I have to say, this seems like poor design and something I NEVER would have guessed would be the issue! Would highly recommend fixing this
Also - if not already stated, it seems to take a few minutes between the time that you save a collection and the time you can view it successfully in your store without the "Sorry, there are no products in this collection" error. Make sure you wait a bit before concluding you did something wrong.
I found a solution I didn’t see on this thread. So, go to products page, click on your product, on the right, you will see a box that says “Product Status” below the box it says something like “SALES CHANNELS AND APPS”, to the right of that it says “Manage” click “Manage”, then click “Online Store” then click ok, than save and you should be all-set.
I had the same issue. I had set my product to have a specific release date and time. It wasn’t showing up in any product page, because it wasn’t active online yet.
I’m getting the exact same issue. This seems like a very easy thing to fix, not to mention essential for most stores, and these copy/paste automated replies that shopify keeps offering for the same problem are worthless and don’t even address the OP’s issue. I personally hate using automated collections.
