What is a collection list?
Once you have created your collections, it's time to organize them in your shop! The Collections List section allows you to group your collections in a single section, in order to lighten the navigation menu of your app and make the user experience more fluid.
Adding a Collection List section is not mandatory, but highly recommended if you want to offer more than 5 collections in your Shopping App.
Do you remember our home decor store? We explained that we had decided to create 10 collections in total. If we had left it at that, the menu of our app would have been overloaded.
Instead, we decided to group our collections into different Collection Lists, which makes navigation in our app much more intuitive.
We created lists based on the themes of our collections. Remember, our goal was to present our products according to the potential needs of our clients. So we wanted to present our products according to the type of objects, the rooms they relate to, and the decorating trends of the moment. So we created 3 collection lists that each include 3 collections:
- Rooms:
- Bedroom
- Bathroom
- Kitchen
- Objects:
- Frames
- Vases
- Pillows
- Trends:
- Big in Japan
- Keep it Slow
- Words matter
The Sales collection isn’t integrated in a list, because we want it to be as accessible as possible.
This principle of grouping collections into a list can be applied to many types of businesses that have multiple collections in their app.
