Trying to sort into collections….collections is not showing up.

I have all of my inventory loaded into my Shopify store. I want to separate it into collections so customers can choose from Washi, Tape, stickers, tools, etc. I’ve watched the videos of how to start a collection and when I pull up products it does not have a collection option to begin a collection.

How do I add a collection for the first time to my store? What is there a reason it’s not showing up under products so that I can easily click on it to add Collections? Thank you for your help!

Welcome to the Shopify Community @DaisyGray !

When you say that the Collections option is not showing up under your Products, do you mean that it is now showing up in the admin as per the screenshot below or something else?

May I ask which type of plan you are on also? Any additional information you can provide would be helpful! In the meantime, if you haven’t seen it already, check out our guide on adding collections here in our help center.

I’d love to hear more about your store and what you’re selling? If you need some extra help before launching then have a look at our prelaunch checklist here!
