Manage Product Collections in Medusa Admin

In this guide, you’ll learn how to create and manage product collections.

Product Collections to Organize Products#

A product collection is a group of products that share a common theme or purpose. For example, a summer collection can include products like swimsuits, sunglasses, and beach towels. Collections help customers find products that are relevant to them and make it easier to browse your store.

A product can be in a single collection. You can learn how to set the collection of a product in this guide.

Product Collections List#

To view all product collections, go to the Products → Collections page. From here, you can see a list, filter, and search through all collections.

Create Product Collection#

To create a collection:

1. Go to the Products → Collections page.
2. Click on the Create button in the main section's header.
3. In the form that opens:
   1. Enter the collection's name in the Title field.
   2. The value of the Handle field is used in the collection's URL on the storefront. It allows you to create a human-readable URL for the collection. The handle must be unique across all collections, and it must contain lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (-). If not specified, Medusa will generate a handle from the title.
4. Once done, click the Create button.

View Product Collection's Details#

To view a collection's details:

1. Go to the Products → Collections page.

Edit Product Collection Metadata#

To edit the product collection's metadata:

1. Go to the product collection's details page.
2. Click the icon in the "Metadata" section.
3. In the side window that opens:

     • Hover over the row and click the icon at its end.
     • Choose "Insert row above" or "Insert row below" from the dropdown.
   • To delete a row of key-value pairs:
