How-to - brand collections
How to create a collection for each vendor on Shopify
Short answer
How it works
Open Brand pages and let it list your vendors
Install Easy Brand Page and open the Brand pages screen. It reads the vendor on your products and lists the brands that do not have a collection yet, so you choose from a real list instead of typing names.
Pick the brands to create collections for
Select which brands should get a collection. Nothing is preselected, and you confirm the exact count before anything is created, so a bulk run is always a deliberate choice.
It creates one collection per brand, and links matches
For each brand it creates an automated collection - products where the vendor matches the brand - and publishes it to your Online Store. If a collection with that brand's web address already exists, it links the brand to that one instead of making a duplicate. You can add an optional in-stock-only rule so out-of-stock products drop off.
Add content and publish per brand
Open a brand to write its description, upload a banner, and fill the native SEO title and description. Saving publishes that content to the collection, and the brand page template renders it on the storefront.
What you get
- One collection created per selected vendor, in bulk
- Automated collections (rule: product vendor equals the brand) that keep themselves current
- Existing matching collections are linked, never duplicated
- It never deletes or renames a collection in your store
- An optional in-stock-only rule on newly created collections
- A description, banner and native SEO title and description per brand, published to the collection
Why Shopify makes you build brand collections by hand
Shopify stores a vendor on every product, but it does not turn those vendors into collections. To get a collection per brand the manual way, you create and name one collection for each vendor, set its rule, and publish it - fine for five brands, slow for fifty.
Easy Brand Page does that pass in bulk. You pick the brands, and it creates an automated collection for each one with the rule set to product vendor equals the brand, so the collection fills and updates itself as your catalogue changes. To point a brand at a collection you already built instead, see how brands map to collections.
Linked, never duplicated or deleted
The risk with a bulk collection tool is that it doubles up on work you already did. Easy Brand Page checks each brand's web address first: if a matching collection already exists, it links the brand to that collection instead of creating a second one.
It also never deletes or renames a collection - there is no delete step anywhere in the app, and unmapping a brand later leaves its collection untouched in Shopify. That makes a bulk run safe to try: the worst case is a collection you can remove yourself in Shopify admin.
