About
Automated Collections is a feature provided by Shopify that enables store owners to automatically curate and showcase products in their online shop based on predefined rules and conditions. This feature is instrumental in ensuring the hottest and most popular items are easily accessible by potential customers, allowing for an improved experience from your store.
Types of collections:
- Manual: A manual collection includes the specific products that you choose. The collection will always contain the same products unless you add or remove them.
- Automated: An automated collection uses selection conditions to automatically include matching products as they are added to your store.
Element Matching
Example #1
To create an Automated Collection that is specific to a product’s model, include the model as a keyword.

Example #2
To create an Automated Collection that is specific to a product’s brand, include the brand as a keyword.

Note: Any attributes of the item can be used, but the most powerful are Title and Vendor. Our catalog assigns the brand to the Vendor value.
