ResourcePublicationConnection

A connection between a Shopify shop and an external selling platform that supports product syndication and optionally order ingestion. Each channel binds a merchant's account on a specific platform — such as Amazon, eBay, Google, or a point-of-sale system — to the shop, establishing the publishing destination for product feeds.

Sales Channel applications use channelCreate to establish channels after merchant authentication, and can manage multiple channel connections per app. Each channel is bound to a channel specification that declares the platform's regional coverage, capabilities, and requirements.

Use channels to manage where catalog items are syndicated, track publication status across platforms, and control Product visibility for different selling destinations.

The Collection object represents a group of products that merchants can organize to make their stores easier to browse and help customers find related products. Collections serve as the primary way to categorize and display products across online stores, sales channels, and marketing campaigns.

There are two types of collections:

• Custom (manual) collections: You specify the products to include in a collection.
• Smart (automated) collections: You define rules, and products matching those rules are automatically included in the collection.

The Collection object provides information to:

• Organize products by category, season, or promotion.
• Automate product grouping using rules (for example, by tag, type, or price).
• Configure product sorting and display order (for example, alphabetical, best-selling, price, or manual).
• Manage collection visibility and publication across sales channels.
• Add rich descriptions, images, and metadata to enhance discovery.

Note: Collections are unpublished by default. To make them available to customers, use the <a href="https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/publishablePublish"><code><span class="PreventFireFoxApplyingGapToWBR">publishable<wbr/>Publish</span></code></a> mutation after creation.

Collections can be displayed in a store with Shopify's theme system through Liquid templates and can be customized with template suffixes for unique layouts. They also support advanced features like translated content, resource feedback, and contextual publication for location-based catalogs.

The Product object lets you manage products in a merchant’s store.

Products are the goods and services that merchants offer to customers. They can include various details such as title, description, price, images, and options such as size or color. You can use product variants to create or update different versions of the same product. You can also add or update product media. Products can be organized by grouping them into a collection.

A group of products and collections that are published to an app.

Each publication manages which products and collections display on its associated Channel. Merchants can automatically publish products when they're created if autoPublish is enabled, or manually control publication through publication records.

Publications support scheduled publishing through future publish dates for online store channels, allowing merchants to coordinate product launches and promotional campaigns. The catalog field links to pricing and availability rules specific to that publication's context.
