One of the first steps to achieving this is setting up your Shopify product types correctly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what exactly is product type on Shopify, and how do they differ from categories or collections? This guide breaks it all down for you, also covering everything you need to know about Shopify product type, including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"#what-is-the-shopify-product-type\">What is the Shopify product type?<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#how-to-add-product-type-in-shopify\">How to add and manage product type in Shopify?&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#differentiate-the-product-type-product-category-and-collection\"><strong>How to differentiate product category, product type, and collection?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get into it!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is The Shopify Product Type?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Shopify product type is a classification that defines the nature or category of a product within a Shopify store. Each product can have only one product type, which helps store owners organize their inventory effectively. This categorization is crucial for managing products, allowing for better customer navigation and filtering options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Product types can either be predefined by Shopify (Here are some Shopify product type examples: &#8220;Physical Products,&#8221; &#8220;Digital Products,&#8221; &#8220;Gift Cards,&#8221; or &#8220;Services&#8221;) or custom types defined by the Shopify store owner to suit specific needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to add product type in Shopify&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If Shopify&#8217;s standard categories don\u2019t meet your needs, you can create a custom category using the Shopify product type field. It\u2019s best to use Shopify\u2019s standard product categories whenever possible, as they are more robust and seamlessly integrated across your admin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a Shopify custom product type is a practical and flexible solution if your product doesn&#8217;t align with a standard category.

So, sellers need to upgrade to a higher plan such as Basic Shopify, Advanced Shopify, or Shopify Plus to use this feature. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many types of collections?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify offers <strong>two main types<\/strong> of collections:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Manual collections:<\/strong> These require the merchant to select and add products manually. They require more work to maintain but can be a good choice for small or specialized collections you intend to curate personally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smart collections: <\/strong>These collections automatically include products based on predefined conditions set by the merchant. For instance, a collection could automatically include all products tagged with &#8220;sale&#8221; or all items under a specific price point. Moreover, sellers can add up to 60 selection conditions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you create a collection, it appears on your online store as a webpage featuring a gallery of the products within that collection. Customers can click on a product image to navigate to its specific product page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can add links to collections in your store&#8217;s menus to help customers find and explore them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"592\" data-id=\"76960\" src=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Shopify-Product-Type-11-1024x592.webp\" alt=\"Collections\" class=\"wp-image-76960\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Shopify-Product-Type-11-1024x592.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Shopify-Product-Type-11-300x173.webp 300w, https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Shopify-Product-Type-11-768x444.webp 768w, https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Shopify-Product-Type-11.webp 1480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to add products to collections&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To add products to collections in Shopify, you can follow different methods depending on whether you&#8217;re working with manual or automated collections.
