Automatically create Shopify vendor and product type collections
Use Power Tools Easy Collections to create Shopify collections for vendors and product types, improving navigation and giving each group a crawlable URL and collection content.
The problem
Vendor and product type pages are useful for shoppers and search engines, but creating and maintaining every collection manually takes time. As products are added, removed, or renamed, these collections can drift out of date.
Easy Collections by Power Tools automatically creates Shopify collections for each vendor and product type. Those collections can have friendly URLs, images, descriptions, and navigation links.
When Power Tools is a good fit
Use Easy Collections when your Shopify catalog has meaningful brands, vendors, or product types that deserve their own pages. It is a practical way to improve store navigation and create more useful collection URLs without manually maintaining every group.
Compared with Shopify smart collections
Shopify smart collections are useful when a merchant wants to define collection rules manually. Easy Collections is a fit when the store should automatically create and maintain vendor and product type collections with cleaner URLs, images, descriptions, and navigation opportunities for each group.
Useful workflows
- Automatically create vendor collections.
- Automatically create product type collections.
