What is a collection?
In Fourthwall, a collection is an easy way to organize and showcase products on your site. Think of it as a way to group related items together—items by season or product type—and give them a unique page that visitors can explore.
After you have created your collection, you can showcase it on your home page or custom page by adding a Feature collection or Collection list section to the page—learn more here.

How to create a collection?
Naming the collection
1. To create a new collection, go to the Products > Collections page and click "Create new collection.".
2. In the collection details modal, enter your "collection name". Remember, this name is public and will be part of the collection’s URL, so choose something catchy and descriptive!
Making the collection limited-edition (OPTIONAL)
You can make a collection time limited so that it is only available for purchase during a specific time period.
1. Click on the "Make this collection time-limited" box to make it exclusive.
2. Click "Starts" to set the date and time you want your collection to go live.
3. Set an end date by clicking "Ends" and selecting a date and time. Hover over dates to see the range highlighted in blue.
4. If your start time has already passed, the collection will go public as soon as you save it. If the start time is in the future, the collection will stay hidden until the specified date and time.
Choosing products for your collection
You will need to add products to your collection. To do so:
1. Scroll to the Products section of the collection and click on "Add products"
2. After clicking "Add products," a pop-up will show with the products you have already created. Here, you can search and select the products you want to add to this collection. Once you have selected the products, hit save to continue
3. You can organize the products in your collection by dragging them up or down using the six dots to the left of each product thumbnail. You can also change a product’s position or remove it by clicking the three dots to the right.
Note: Removing the item from the collection only removes it from this collection; the item will remain in your dashboard as it did before.
Pro Tip: Product display settings are set both for collections and the shop. So when you click “Browse All” from within a collection, some items may appear to “jump” to new positions. Feel free to play around with item positions in and out of the collection if you want a more seamless loading experience from a collection to “Browse All.”
Collection Visibility Options
When you're ready to decide who can see your collection, click on the visibility button in the top right corner, as shown in the GIF below.
- Public: Everyone can access your collection on your site.
- Hidden: Only those with a direct link can access the collection.
- Schedule as Public: Set a specific date to make the collection public.
After choosing, click "Save" to apply your settings or "Cancel" to discard changes.
Additional Settings
Click on the three dots to:
- Change URL: Customize the URL of your collection page for easy access.
- Delete Collection: Remove the collection entirely from your site (this won’t delete the products, only the collection itself).
