Understanding Shopify's Backend
Shopify's backend offers a comprehensive set of tools to manage your online store effectively. To get started, let's break down the key components of Shopify's backend: the products database, collections database, and main menu system.
Products Database
The products database is where all your store's products are stored. Think of it as the stockroom of your retail store. Here, you can add, edit, and manage all the products available for purchase on your online store.
Collections Database
The collections database categorizes your products into different collections, making it easier for customers to navigate your store. Collections can be manual or automatic. In manual collections, you have to manually add products to the collection. Automatic collections, on the other hand, automatically include products based on specific conditions or tags assigned to the products.
Main Menu System
The main menu system is an essential aspect of your online store's navigation. It helps customers explore and find specific collections or pages on your website. By organizing your collections and linking them to the main menu, you can ensure a seamless browsing experience for your customers.
Troubleshooting Manual Collections
Manual collections require you to manually add products to the collection. If you're having trouble with your manual collections, here are a couple of troubleshooting tips:
Sorting Products: If you can't find a product in your manual collection, it might be because it's located at the bottom of the collection. You can easily fix this by dragging and dropping the product to the desired position in the collection or changing the sorting option to "newest" to ensure new products appear at the top.
Adding Products to Manual Collections: If you're certain that you've added a product to a manual collection but can't find it, double-check that you've added the product correctly. Sometimes, it's as simple as forgetting to save the changes.
In the next section, we'll explore troubleshooting techniques for automatic collections and how to ensure your collections appear correctly on the front end of your store. Stay tuned!
