Requires read_products access scope.

Represents a group of products that can be displayed in online stores and other sales channels in categories, which makes it easy for customers to find them. For example, an athletics store might create different collections for running attire, shoes, and accessories.

Collections can be defined by conditions, such as whether they match certain product tags. These are called smart or automated collections.

Collections can also be created for a custom group of products. These are called custom or manual collections.

String!non-null

A single-line, text-only description of the collection, stripped of any HTML tags and formatting that were included in the description.

String!non-null

A unique string that identifies the collection. If a handle isn't specified when a collection is created, it's automatically generated from the collection's original title, and typically includes words from the title separated by hyphens. For example, a collection that was created with the title Summer Catalog 2022 might have the handle summer-catalog-2022.

If the title is changed, the handle doesn't automatically change.

The handle can be used in themes by the Liquid templating language to refer to the collection, but using the ID is preferred because it never changes.
