Collection Pages
A Collection page is where your products are categorized into a collection, allowing your customers to find what they are looking for easily.
Collections are a group of individual products - a single product can be featured in multiple collections across your site, and therefore multiple versions of this product are not required in your admin.
Collections are not controlled by the theme, and can be created either manually or automatically with your Shopify admin space - click here to read Shopify's help pages.​
Example: A clothing store sells tops, jeans, hats, footwear, and underwear - the merchant therefore creates a collection for each of these types of apparel.
Within your Shopify admin, go to Sales Channels > Online Store > Themes.
Click your theme, and select Customize.
Go to the drop-down menu at the top of the page.
Scroll down to select Collection pages.
In order to view your collections, they must already exist within your Shopify admin.
Within your Shopify admin, go to Products.
In the drop-down menu underneath, select Collections.
To add a new collection, select Create collection.

Depending on how you set up your store's navigation, your customers can access your collection pages in various ways. However, the most common entry point to your collection pages is often through collection sections.
