# Collections

> Group products for promotions and themed showcases

Collections let you group products together for promotions, seasonal campaigns, or themed showcases on your storefront.

Unlike categories (which are structural), collections are flexible and marketing-oriented. A single product can belong to multiple collections. Use them for things like "Summer Sale", "Holiday Specials", "Staff Picks", or "Clearance".

## Creating a collection

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Collections">
    Go to Setup in the sidebar and select Collections.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Create">
    Click the "Create Collection" button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter details">
    Enter a collection name (required), description and cover image (optional), then click "Create Collection".
  </Step>

  <Step title="Access actions">
    Hover over the Actions button on any row for Update or Delete actions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set status">
    Set the status to Active (visible on storefront) or Inactive (hidden) in Update actions.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  The system automatically generates "New Arrivals" and "Best Sellers" collections based on your inventory data. You do not need to maintain these manually.
