Can You Hide a Collection on Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 5:10 am

Yes, you can hide a collection on Shopify. There are a few ways to do this, depending on how you want to hide the collection. You can either make the collection private, password-protected, or unpublished.

If you make the collection private, only people who have the link to the collection will be able to see it. To do this, go to your Shopify admin and click on “Collections”.

Then, click on the collection that you want to make private. In the “Visibility” section, select “Private”.

PRO TIP: If you are considering hiding a collection on Shopify, be aware that this may negatively impact your search engine optimization (SEO). When collections are hidden, the products within them can only be found by direct URL or by navigation from the shop’s homepage. This can make it difficult for potential customers to discover your products, which could lead to fewer sales.

If you want to password-protect your collection, anyone who has the link to the collection will be able to see it, but they will need to enter a password to access it.

Then, click on the collection that you want to password-protect. In the “Visibility” section, select “Password protected”. Enter a password in the “Password” field and click “Save”.

If you want to unpublish your collection, it will be hidden from your storefront but will still be accessible if someone has the direct link to it.

Then, click on the collection that you want to unpublish. In the “Visibility” section, select “Unpublished”.
