Shopify Collections Report

Shopify collections help store owners organize products efficiently, making it easier for customers to browse and find what they need. However, when products appear in multiple collections, managing and analyzing collection data can become challenging.

The Shopify Collections Report provides a structured view of your collections, offering a clear breakdown of the products within them. It highlights key details such as sales data and other relevant metrics to help you evaluate how each collection is performing.

In this guide, we’ll explore different types of Collection Reports and how they provide valuable insights into your store’s collections.

Understanding the Shopify Collections Report

In Shopify, products are grouped into two types of collections:

• Smart Collections – Automatically include products based on predefined selection rules.
• Manual Collections – Products are manually selected and assigned by the store owner.

As a store owner, you often need to analyze sales, inventory, and key performance metrics for products within these collections. However, Shopify does not offer a dedicated report for collections, making it harder to get the insights you need.

While you can use the Sales Report and add the Product Collection field, this approach presents significant challenges:

Challenges in Analyzing Shopify Collections

1. No Clear Separation Between Smart and Manual Collections
   Shopify groups both Smart and Manual (Custom) Collections under the same Product Collections category. This makes it difficult to segment and analyze them separately. If you need to compare performance across collection types, Shopify’s native reports don’t offer a direct way to do so.
2. Duplicate Rows Create Confusion
   A single product can belong to multiple collections, leading to duplicate rows in reports. As a result, the same sales and inventory data appear multiple times, making it difficult to obtain accurate insights.

How to Solve These Challenges

 Custom reports eliminate these issues, enabling better segmentation and accurate reporting

• Our reports consolidate data into a single row, simplifying interpretation and making it easier to track performance.
• You can filter between Smart and Manual Collections, ensuring clarity in analysis.
• Duplicate products are grouped into a single entry, avoiding multiple occurrences of the same product across different collections.

Example:

Let’s take a product like Polo T-Shirt, which is available in multiple collections—T-Shirts & Polos, Casual Wear, Sportswear, etc. In standard Shopify reports, this product would appear in multiple rows for each collection, leading to redundant data.

With our reports, all collections associated with the Polo T-Shirt are grouped in a single row, making it easier to analyze without duplication.

By using pre-made reports, merchants can instantly generate insights on collection performance without the hassle of manual data segregation. Our Collections Reports are designed for quick analysis, allowing store owners to efficiently evaluate collections and gain valuable insights.

Additionally, our expert team is available for customized reporting, ensuring your reporting needs are met.
