Organize your collection hierarchy

​
What does this do for me?

This lets you connect related collections into a parent-child structure. The relationships are stored in collection metafields and can be shown on the storefront as breadcrumbs and sub-collection grids.

​
1. Open Collection Hierarchy

From the Home screen, select Collection Hierarchy. The Collection tree shows your collections with expand/collapse controls. Each node shows the collection title, its handle, and badges for Has parent and the number of children.

​
2. Edit a collection’s relationships

Select Edit on any collection to open the Edit Hierarchy: {Collection} dialog:
  • Set the Parent collection from the dropdown, or leave it empty to make the collection a root collection.
  • Enter Children collection handles as a comma-separated list, such as summer-sale, new-arrivals.
A Breadcrumb preview shows how the breadcrumb will read (for example, Home / Parent / Collection). Select Save hierarchy to persist your changes. The app detects and blocks circular references, and it maintains both the parent and the inverse children links so they do not contradict each other.

​
3. Display the hierarchy on the storefront

From the How it works panel, add the Breadcrumbs or Sub-Collections theme blocks in the theme editor to display the hierarchy. See the theme blocks guide for how to place these app blocks.

​
4. Refresh

Use Refresh collections to reload the tree if your store’s collections changed in Shopify.
