How to Create a Collection

Group related products together and showcase them in your store

A collection in Fourthwall is a curated group of products by theme, season, style, or a characteristic of your choosing that lives on its own unique page. It helps you organize your catalog and makes it easier for visitors to explore related items.

Once you’ve created a collection, you can highlight it on your homepage or custom page using the Feature Collection or Collection list sections. Learn how to customize pages here

Step 1: Create a new collection

  • Go to Products > Collections
  • Click Create new collection
  • Enter your collection name (e.g., "Fall '25 Drops" or "Essential Accessories")
    • This name will be part of the collection's URL
    • Make it catchy and relevant!
  • Click Save (this will mark your collection as "Hidden" and allow you to configure the optional settings)

Step 2: (Optional) Make the collection time-limited

Want to launch an exclusive or seasonal collection?

  • Tick the box for Make this collection time-limited
  • Open the date selector to add the start and end dates and set the times
  • Click Apply when you're ready

Note: If the start time has already passed, the collection goes live immediately when you save.

Step 3: Add products to your collection

  • Look for the "Products" section
  • Click + Add products
  • Select the items you want to include
  • You can:
    • Drag and drop products to reorder them (the first product becomes the collection's main image)
    • Use the three-dot menu to move or remove items
  • Click Save

Note: Removing a product from a collection doesn’t delete it—it just removes it from that specific group.

Step 4: Set collection visibility

Click the visibility button in the top right to choose who can access the collection:

  • Public – Visible to all site visitors
  • Hidden – Only accessible via direct link
  • Schedule as Public – Pick a future date/time to make it public

Click Save to confirm your settings.

Step 5: (Optional) Tweak collection settings

Click the three dots (…) to:

  • Change URL – Customize how the collection page appears
  • Delete collection – This removes the collection, but your products stay untouched

Understanding the limitations of product grouping

  • Collections are not auto-displayed: Creating a collection doesn’t automatically show it on your site. You must manually add it via the Featured Collection or Collection List sections.

  • Featured Collection shows only a subset: It will display only the number of products you configure. You need to click View all or link directly to the full collection.

  • The Collection list is manual: Collections must be added manually to be visible in that section; they don’t auto-update when you create a new collection.

  • Visibility rules apply: Hidden or scheduled collections won’t appear to shoppers until made public or scheduled time arrives.

  • Product order matters: Display depends on order. Adding new products can shift your top items and affect what customers see first.

  • One collection per Featured Collection section: To show multiple collections on a page, you must add multiple Featured Collection sections or use a Collection List.

  • Reordering across pages is limited: Drag-and-drop only works on the current page. To move items across your entire catalog, use precise position controls or manual ordering.

Pro tips

  • To avoid shifting featured items: keep your curated products at the top of the product list, or use multiple Featured Collection sections for different sets.

  • When running campaigns (like seasonal drops), use Collection Lists to group multiple collections under one section.

  • Remember that visibility and position settings don’t auto-sync, so double-check the display after edits or new product additions.
