# Collection

Once you have added some individual products to your store, it is likely you will want to categorise these in some way, organising them into groups. 

If you are a clothing store, you may sell many different types of apparel, such as hoodies, socks, jeans, gloves, hats, tees and so on. You could create a collection for each of the above.

**Note**

The more items you offer, the more important it is that your products remain easy to find, both for your customers and yourself.
{% endhint %}

Collections can be linked to on your storefront so they display a certain number of products (with product images), from that collection, or you could add a simpler, text link, in your footer, for example.

### Explaining a Collection

* Collections are a group of individual Products.
* A single Product can be featured in multiple collections across your site (multiple versions of this Product are not required in your admin).
* Collections and the Products they contain are not controlled by the theme - this is solely dictated by the Shopify platform.
* Collections can be either: \
