Remove products from collections and add them to only the clearance collection

Shopify Discussion

I would like to add sale products to a sale collection only.

All of our smart collections are built using Vendor/Type and Tag.

Is there a way to filter out the clearance products from these smart collections - There is not option to use ‘Tag’ ‘Does Not Equal’ ‘Sale’

Unfortunately, this problem is long-lasting.

One option is to use a Flow App to assign a “Not on sale” tag for products which do not have the “Sale” tag :slightly_smiling_face:

Then you can add an condition to only include product which has “not on sale” tag to your collections.

Hello @evamc1010

  • Tag all regular products with a special tag, e.g., non-sale.
  • Do NOT add this tag to your sale/clearance products.
  • Update your smart collections to include this condition:
  • Tag is equal to non-sale
  • plus your existing Vendor/Type/Tag rules

Hi @evamc1010 ,

I’d second the suggestion to tag all products with a “Not on sale” tag. If you’re using an app to manage your clearance campaigns, you can often set it up to automatically remove this tag when sale prices are applied, and reapply it once the products return to their original prices.

Here’s how that works in Alpha Sale, for example:

You’re on the right track using tags to control collections.

Where this usually breaks down is keeping those tags in sync when prices or sale status change.

A rule-based tagging app can automate both adding and removing tags as product conditions change, so collections stay accurate without manual updates.
