As a content manager, I need collections for storing term definitions, so that terms are used consistently site-wide and are clearly distinct in done state.

  • Collection named "Term Definitions" in Shopify admin.
  • Used products as it requires effort to make these definitions that will get more extended over time.
  • Each product represents one term: title as term, description as definition, metafields for category/tags.
  • Products sortable/searchable by term or category.

Create Definition Collection in Shopify

  1. Access Admin: Go to Products > Collections.
  2. Create Manual Collection: Click Create collection > Enter title "Definitions" > Add description > Save.
  3. Add Definition Products: In Products > Add product > Title: term name > Description: term explanation > Collection: "Definitions" > Save

Add Definitions Collection to Main Menu as Submenu under Guide

  1. Access Menus: Online Store > Navigation (or Content > Menus in newer admin).
  2. Edit Main Menu: Click "Main menu" > Add menu item.
  3. Create Submenu Item: Name: "Definitions" > Link: Select collection "Definitions" > Save.
  4. Nest Under Guide: Drag the new item below and indent under "Guide" (right-align or use handle to nest).
  5. Save Menu: Preview site navigation.

Use in Products

  1. Reference in Descriptions: In target product > Edit description > Hyperlink term to definition product URL (e.g., [Term]({{ product.url }}) ) for consistency.
  2. Display Glossary: Create page > Embed collection via liquid: {% section 'collection-template' collection: collections['definitions'] %} > Link from products.
  3. Advanced: Use metafields on products for terms; pull via liquid in theme for dynamic inclusion.
